Mount Kanti Himal is situated at the north of Mugu village western part of Nepal and there were several peaks range stand but the highest is Kaqur Kangri (6,859m.) only possible to the summit from Tibet side. Mount Kanti Himal climbed one peak of (6, 159m.) by Sadao Yoshinaga - Japanese to the north of the Koji-La and another at (6,300m.) to the south of the Koiji-La. (this pass is high and seldom used today). They ascertained that the main Kanti Himal’s highest summit, known in Tibet as Kaqur Kangri (6,859m.), could not be reached from here and that an expedition from the Tibet side was more likely to succeed. Kanti Himal and Koji Khola valley also explored Julian Freeman-Attwood and team in 2007 to 2009 and climbed the Pk 5,930 meter in the Kanti Himal.

The expedition to Kanti Himal begins from safe landing at Simikot, a hidden valley of North-west Nepal which is also a gateway to holiest place Mt. Kailash. From Simikot the trails approach to North-East about two weeks march –in trek, traversing Mugu Dada (4,987m.) along the Tanke Khola to old Mugu and then beyond old Mugu the trail leads to the east is Koji Khola (4000m.), where we set our temporary camp. The next to Koji Khola is base camp at the (4,650m.), the valley is an old trading route between Mugu and Chantang crossing the border Koji-La. We set our advance camp at Koji-La (5,495m.) and based on weather condition we ascent to Mount Kanti Himal (6,859m.). After attempting the Kanti Himal summit we trek back to Mugu village and following Mugu Karnali via Shailenkharka, Chitai Bagar, Tyar Gompa, Banibas to Gamgadi and Rara Lake, our expedition will be end at Talcha from where we will fly to Nepalgunj and Kathmandu.
