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.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Worth every rupee.

Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp.

Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Worth every rupee.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Solid operator.

Did this over 7 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Solid operator.

Reply from The Monsoon Ledger

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

Questions people ask

Minus fifteen in the day and minus twenty-five at night at Kaza in January. Homestays are heated with Bukhari stoves and are genuinely warm; outdoors is not, and standing at the bottom of an ice route belaying is the coldest you will be.
