Api Himal (7132 m) is the highest peak in the Yoka Pahar Section of the Nepal Himalaya. It is a little-known peak in a rarely visited part of the Himalaya, but it rises dramatically over the low surrounding terrain. Api lies in the extreme northwest corner of Nepal, near the borders of India and Tibet. Although low in elevation among the major mountains of Nepal, Api is exceptional in its rise above local terrain; the surrounding valleys are significantly lower than those surrounding most higher Himalayan peaks. The Api region was visited by Westerners in 1899, 1905, and 1936, but the peak was not attempted until 1953. This attempt was unsuccessful, as was another, by Italians, in 1954 which resulted in the death of two expedition members. The first ascent of Api occurred in 1960. The Doshisha Alpine Society of Japan successfully completed the Northwest Face route attempted by the 1954 party.

This is the country beyond, a wild and extremely beautiful mountain landscape full of exotic people, rapid rivers and pristine forest. This area is a very remote area with Virgin Nature, off beaten path, Mysterious culture and panoramic mountain’s view of Nandadevi, Rajramba, Api Himal, Kappa Chuli Peak and many more. There is also a lake call Kalidhunga, which is about 2 hours by walking from base camp. This is one of the holy lakes of this area.
