Regrettably, trekking to Kanamo Peak is currently prohibited. For a challenging trekking experience, consider exploring the Pin Bhaba Pass trek, one of India’s most breathtaking pass-crossing treks!
Kanamo Peak Trek
The Kanamo Peak Trek is located in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh at 19,553 ft. The total distance of the trek from Kaza to Kibber is 27 kilometres. This trek is considered strenuous as the trail ascends rapidly. Prior experience is required to do this trek, as it will help you deal with acute mountain sickness. The area around Kanamo Peak is deserted, and there is little vegetation, with snow on the mountain’s peak. In August, you might see Spiti in its harvest season; in winter, it becomes difficult to walk on a trail through boulders during snow. Being well-prepared and physically fit is crucial to thoroughly enjoying and conquering this challenging trek.
A challenging trek awaits those who seek the thrill of reaching high altitudes in the heart of Spiti. Unlike the popular Stok Kangri, the lesser-known Kanamo Peak offers a quieter and more pristine trekking experience, away from the commercialization of modernity. However, tackling Kanamo Peak is challenging and requires a high level of physical fitness, as the trek involves a demanding climb over scree and boulders from the base camp to the summit.
The ascent to the peak and the subsequent descent back to base camp on the same day cover approximately 10 km of challenging terrain, making it a test of endurance for even the most experienced trekkers. Despite the difficulty, the reward of reaching the summit is breathtaking, offering panoramic views of over 35 other peaks from Ladakh, Spiti, Kullu, and Kinnaur. Standing atop Kanamo Peak feels like being on top of the world, surrounded by towering mountains and proximity to Shilla Peak, creating a truly unforgettable experience.

Know Everything About Acute Mountain Sickness
Acute Mountain Sickness is a medical condition that can occur when individuals travel to high altitudes, typically above 8,000 feet. It is caused by the decrease in air pressure and oxygen levels in the air as altitude increases. Symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness may include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. To avoid Acute Mountain Sickness, it is important to gradually adjust to high altitudes and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen. To learn more about this condition, check out the videos by Trekup India.

What should you pack for the Kanamo Peak Trek
Kanamo Peak Trek is a high-altitude trek. The trekking gear you have to have for this particular trek differs from normal treks. Thus, read this whole segment. There is an important question that the trekker who is doing trek asks, like what all things to carry while trekking. Below, we have provided the details on everything you should take; an easy way to remember is by Head to foot or foot to head. We have prepared from Head to foot.
Head Gears
When trekking it's important to carry headgear to protect your head and face.
Heading out for a trek? Don’t forget to carry headgear to protect your beautiful face and head from the sun, wind, and dust! It’s an essential accessory that keeps you safe and comfortable throughout your adventurous journey. So, make sure you pack it before you step out into nature!
- Head Lamps – When trekking at night, headlamps are essential to illuminate your path while keeping your hands free. Headlamps come in different sizes and lumens, so it is essential to choose one that suits your needs.
- Hats or Cap – Caps or hats are also necessary when trekking in different weather conditions. Caps protect your head from the wind and freezing temperatures at night, while hats provide shade and protection from the sun during the day. It’s essential to ensure that your hat has a strap to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
- Sunglasses – Sunglasses are also essential for trekking. Your sunglasses should protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and fit your face perfectly to avoid falling off while climbing, jumping, or crossing obstacles. The glass of your sunglasses should also be designed for different weather conditions to provide optimal visibility.
- Buff / Balaclava – Lastly, a buff or balaclava is a must-have to protect your mouth or neck from extreme temperatures and keep them warm. Buffs and balaclavas come in different materials, thicknesses, and designs, so it’s important to choose one that suits your needs and preferences. Depending on the weather conditions and your activities, you can wear them as neck warmers, face masks, or headbands.
Clothes
When trekking in high altitudes, prepare for cold weather by wearing layers. Layering traps heat, keeps you warm, and allows you to easily adjust your clothing as temperatures fluctuate.
Layering is important for different seasons when trekking. When planning a high-altitude trek, it is important to prepare for the cold weather. Wearing layers is the best approach as it provides both protection and flexibility when the weather changes frequently in the mountains. Layering helps to trap heat and keep your body warm, while at the same time allowing you to easily adjust your clothing as the temperature fluctuates. By wearing layers, you can enjoy your trek comfortably and stay safe in the unpredictable mountain weather
- For spring, summer, and monsoon treks, consider wearing three layers: a woollen sweater, a fleece, and a padded jacket.
- For autumn treks, add one more fleece layer to make it four layers.
- For winter treks, you may need five layers with thermals, a woollen sweater, two fleeces, and a padded jacket.
- T-shirt/sleeve shirt– Bring three T-shirts and two quick-dry trek pants, wearing one and carrying the others. Long sleeve shirts help to protect from sun UV rays. We recommend synthetic T-shirts as they get dry quickly when they get wet.
- Hiking / Trekking Jacket– down jackets (-5 to-10 C) or two-three-layer jackets.
- Thermals– at least two pairs of thermals help keep the body warm during cold weather.
- Undergarments– you can carry them according to your habitual and hygiene requirements.

- Rain Wear– you can carry a raincoat or Poncho. During long rains and snowfalls, the waterproof jackets start leaking. Still, the Poncho and raincoats keep you dry, so choose accordingly.
Tip: If you choose a raincoat on your trek, carry a small waterproof cover so things inside your backpack can’t get wet. If you carry a Poncho, you don’t need to worry. It protects both you and your backpack.
Foot Gears
When it comes to planning a trek, one of the most important aspects is to ensure that you have the right kind of foot gear.
- Trekking shoes which are waterproof and have ankle support. Walking / Hiking sandals which can be used off the trek, i.e., in the morning and evening hours when you reach the campsite, basically to get your feet rest from heavy boots, sometimes used for crossing streams and rivers, it’s more comfortable and safer than crossing barefoot or wetting your shoes. Sneakers (Optional) can be worn for normal driving days or used around the camp.
- Socks– you should at least carry 3 to 4 pairs.
- Microspikes & Gaitorswill be provided by Trekup India when required. You don’t have to carry them.

a.Burpees
Burpees are an excellent full-body exercise that targets your legs, chest, arms, and core. This exercise dramatically benefits trekking enthusiasts, improving cardiovascular endurance, strength, and agility. Regularly incorporating burpees into your workout routine can enhance your overall fitness level, which can help you endure long hikes and rugged terrains with ease.

How to Perform Mountain Climbers Exercises:
- Start in a plank position with hands shoulder-width apart and body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Drive one knee towards the chest, then quickly switch legs, alternating in a running motion.
- Keep the core engaged and the hips stable throughout the movement.

Incorporating bodyweight exercises into your training routine can help you build strength and endurance and prepare your body for the physical demands of trekking. Consistency and proper form are crucial to maximizing the benefits of these exercises and ensuring a safe and enjoyable trekking experience. Engaging your core muscles, including obliques, abdominals, and lower back, with Russian twists can improve your rotational stability and balance, preventing injuries and enhancing overall performance during trekking.
When incorporating strength training exercises into your workout routine, it’s essential to maintain proper form and technique to avoid injury. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase the intensity as you progress, focusing on compound exercises targeting multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Some examples of practical strength training exercises for trekking include squats, lunges, deadlifts, and pull-ups.
Remember to give your muscles time to recover between workouts, and remember to stretch before and after your workouts to prevent injury and improve flexibility. Combining strength training with jogging and proper stretching allows you to take your fitness to the next level and confidently tackle even the most challenging treks.

Best time to do Kanamo Peak Trek
Kanamo Peak Trek is best done during two seasons: Monsoon, which takes place between July and August, and Autumn, which takes place between September and mid-November. In August, you might be lucky enough to enjoy the harvest season in Spiti Valley. Between September and November, you will be walking through the trek covered in snow, boulders, moraine, and scree. This trek makes it difficult, but with the help of a guide, Trekup India, and snow trekking equipment, you can walk through the trail.
How Difficult is the Kanamo Peak Trek
Kanamo Peak is considered a challenging trek due to its high altitude, exceeding 14,000 ft. The trek ascends rapidly, and your safety heavily relies on the level of preparation you undertake. Having prior experience with trekking in the Himalayas before embarking on this journey can help you adapt to the rigours of the trek. Additionally, knowledge of Acute Mountain Sickness is beneficial in managing any altitude-related challenges encountered along the way.
