Saribung Trek is one of the longest adventures in the Himalayas that involves walking through rugged trails, cross high passes, walk on ice and snow. This is a newly explored trekking route in 2006 that shortly became quite popular among trekkers. This trail takes us on a fascinating journey through exceptional landscapes with an orange colored rock wall, multicolored canyons and impressive forms of alpine terrain. The pioneer trekking through the desert like alpine territory provides the trekkers with an authentic experience. Located between the kingdom of Mustang and Manang border just near to famous holy pilgrimage lake Damodar Kunda and close to the border of Tibet, Saribung is quite challenging with off the beaten track that leads the trekkers to the place with crystal clear river water, close to rushing waterfall and green fields that flows the scenic mountain path with picturesque villages and unique cultures. Although Saribung pass trek is quite strenuous, once you complete it, there will be no regrets regarding the journey. The travelers will hardly find such a mysterious and alluring place of Saribung at any part of the country. The major advantage of this trek is that we will end up with the same point from where we started but without repeating the single trek route, back and forth. Saribung pass trek is once in a lifetime type of journey in Nepal Himalaya which will be your unforgettable and interesting trip so far.
