In this trip however, we plan to climb two major mountains, namely Larimo (5995m) and Fluted Peak (6139m) and also climb two passes in the process: Gyundi Pass (5700m) and Losar Pass (5715m). The itinerary is built in a way so that the climber can acclimatise well and enjoy the expedition thoroughly and yet the trip ends within a comfortable time frame of just 2 weeks ex Manali.  The Mountains : Fluted Peak 6139m and Larimo 5995m Location : North West Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, Losar Valley, Catchments of the Suvita Nala Difficulty : The climbs are from Basic snow & ice to mixed rock and ice climb.
