Skyline Trek
Yunam Peak in Lahaul District in Himachal Pradesh stands at 6,111 meters, providing the ideal starting point for climbers reaching 6,000-meter levels. Lahaul offers desolate scenery similar to Ladakh, which makes this peak an attractive alternative to more commonly climbable peaks like Stok Kangri or Kang Yatse II; Yunam provides its special adventure that lies outside the tourist trek. As it covers such a short distance, trekking the Himalayan Foothills provides an affordable and time-efficient alternative. Along the route are stunning sights such as Deepak Tal and Suraj Tal lakes, as well as Baralacha La Pass; all make the trek worthwhile. Sissu and Jispa provide an insight into the rich culture of this region, with charming towns such as Sissu and Jispa showing their history and diversity. From up high, one can take in breathtaking mountainous vistas like CB Range and Mulkilla Range stretching away into all directions. Yunam Peak trek offers an easy walking experience with few technical hurdles or weather conditions that could cause disruptions, providing the ideal motivation and inspiration to start exploring the 6000M summit. Be prepared for a keel walk experience, but do not expect it to reach such lofty altitudes with such ease – read further for more details about this trek.
