BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
This is a technical climb, not a hard walk
Roped glacier travel, crampons and an ice axe you can actually use. If you have not been taught crevasse rescue, you are relying entirely on somebody who has.
Check what your insurance excludes
Most travel policies stop covering you above a stated altitude or exclude mountaineering by name. A helicopter off a Himalayan peak is the traveller's bill, and it is a large one.
The summit is optional and the weather decides
Turnaround times exist to be obeyed, and a team that has paid a great deal of money is exactly the team most likely to ignore one. Agree the turnaround before the summit night, not on it.
Acclimatise on the schedule you were given
At these heights the difference between the published rotation and a faster one is not toughness, it is pulmonary oedema.

Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Recommended.

Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Worth every rupee.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. No hesitation recommending them.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Questions people ask

Not for the comfort version — that is what day three is for. You do need to be a strong trekker: this is a 5,289 m summit with a seventeen-hour day at the end of it.
