Stationed in the Lahaul district of Himachal Pradesh, Yunam Peak, at 6,111M, is a perfect starting point for anyone looking to cross the 6000M barrier. The dry and barren terrain of Lahaul mimicking that of Ladakh, makes Yunam a worthy alternative to popular mountains like Stok Kangri and Kang Yatse II. It is a less known, lesser climbed mountain, making it a perfect off-beat experience. The short duration of this trek also makes it a lot more accessible than its 6000M counterparts in the Himalayas which demand a much longer timeframe to climb. As beauties such as Deepak Tal, Suraj Tal, Baralacha La Pass form some of the visual highlights of the trek, beautiful villages like Sissu and Jispa along the way offer a window into the splendid culture of the region. Watch out for the view of endless mountains of the CB Range and the Mulkilla Range stretch out on all sides of you as you step on to the mountain’s summit. With an easy access, not-so-technical route and relatively stable weather, the chances of reaching this trekking peak’s crown are very high. It offers the right kind of push and confidence to kick start your 6000M journey. Mind you, though, it also makes you sweat for it.
