Saribung Peak is newly explored trekking peak in Upper Mustang, Nepal. It is bit challenging and very popular trekking trail with beaten track and difficult pass. Saribung peak is located in remote parts of Upper Mustang and near to Damodar Himal, close to the border of China (Tibet). The trails are rugged, cutting high into cliff sides and pass villages that have changed little over the centuries. Saribung expedition can be done in anti-clockwise for which the trek start from Phu and then ascend to Saribung pass and enter in the Mustang "Hidden Valley" and return to Jomsom or clockwise for which the trek start from Jomsom and follow Upper Mustang trail and descend to Nar-Phu valley and end at Besisahar. For mountaineering, it is easy to do Expedition but there are many passes with ice and creases in between the Damodar Kunda region and Nar-Phu valley.
Situated near to Tibet border in the isolated area of Mustang area near Damodar Himal, Saribung (6380m) is lately opened peak for ascending in Western Nepal. This peak is also popular mountain at present for climbing in short period. Saribung regarded as technically trouble-free to ascend but there is elevated ice passes that make expedition tough.
