The short answer
Himlung Himal is a peak of about 7,126 metres in the Nar-Phu region near Manang. It is a climbing objective that is often combined with a trek through Nar and Phu villages, which are remote Tibetan-style settlements with monasteries.
It needs permits, high-altitude experience and a licensed operator. Visitors who only want the culture can trek to Nar and Phu without climbing.
