Frequently Asked Questions
Our peak climbing expeditions are led by experienced and certified mountaineering guides. These guides are local experts with extensive knowledge of the region and the mountains. They are trained in high-altitude climbing, first aid, and safety protocols, ensuring that your climb is both safe and enjoyable.
Peak climbing requires a good level of physical fitness and stamina. We recommend that participants engage in regular cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and hiking practice prior to the expedition. While prior climbing experience is beneficial, it is not always necessary depending on the peak you choose. Our team will guide you on the required preparation for your specific climb.
You will need to bring personal clothing suitable for high-altitude environments, such as thermal layers, a down jacket, and waterproof gear. We provide technical climbing equipment, including harnesses, ropes, ice axes, crampons, helmets, and carabiners. A detailed gear list will be provided upon booking to ensure you have everything needed for a safe and successful climb.
Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, and safety is our top priority. If the weather is not suitable for climbing, your guide will make the decision to delay the climb or adjust the itinerary. We always plan for extra days in our schedule to accommodate such delays, and we will do our best to ensure you have the opportunity to summit safely.
During the expedition, you will be provided with nutritious meals that cater to the high-energy demands of climbing. Accommodations will vary depending on the route and altitude, ranging from tea houses in villages to tents at higher altitudes. We ensure that all accommodations are safe and comfortable, allowing you to rest and recharge for the climb.
Altitude sickness is a common concern during peak climbing. Our guides are trained to recognize the symptoms of altitude sickness and will monitor your health closely. If you experience symptoms, your guide will take appropriate action, which may include adjusting the pace, resting, or descending to a lower altitude. It is essential to listen to your body and communicate any discomfort to your guide.
