 The Nun Kun are a pair of Himalayan Peaks; Nun, 7,135 m and Kun, 7,077m. Nun is the highest peak in the Himalayan range lying on the Indian side of the Line of Control. Nun and Kun are separated by a plateau of snow, and are located near Suru Valley about 100 kms east of Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir.
Kun was the first to be conquered in 1913 by the Italian mountaineer Piacenza, while Nun, the highest summit of the massif, was first scaled by the Swiss climber, Madame Claude Kogan in 1953. The Nun Kun Massif being a very popular climbing area of the region is booked out from months ahead, sometimes years, by climbing expeditions, therefore advance arrangements is a necessity.
It is considered one of the most challenging climbing destinations in the Great Himalayas.
