About Nun Kun Massif
The highest massif in the Ladakh and Zanskar region, with Nun at 7,135 metres and Kun at 7,077 metres. The peaks are visible from Panikhar and the Suru valley, and the base camps are a serious trek away. Climbing needs a permit and an expedition team. For most people, the view from the road is enough.
