Kusum Kanguru Peak Climbing

Regarded as technically very challenging on all possible routes, Kusum Kanguru is an impressive rock and ice peak, which forms the border between the Dudhkosi in the south and Hinku Valley to the north. Its name originating in Sherpa language means the Three Snow-White Gods. This climb is suggested only for participants who have enough alpine mountaineering experience.
