Expedition

Not for Island Peak or Mera Peak. You need strong trekking fitness and the willingness to learn; our climbing Sherpas teach rope, crampon and ice axe skills before any summit push. Pachermo is more technical and suits climbers who have used crampons before.

Every expedition follows a deliberate acclimatization profile, with rest days built in and guides who watch each climber closely. Summit pushes only go ahead when the team is ready and the weather window is right.

Autumn, from late September to November, brings the most stable weather and the clearest summit views. Spring, in April, is the second window, with warmer days and rhododendron blooming on the approach treks.

Licensed climbing guides, permits, logistics, accommodation and meals on the mountain are covered. Each trip page lists exactly what is included and what is not, so there are no surprises after you book.

Fit enough to trek for two to three weeks with daily ascents, then handle a long summit day of ten hours or more. Train consistently for a few months before departure and we will help you arrive ready.

Yes. Every climber needs a policy that covers high-altitude mountaineering and helicopter evacuation. We can point you to providers our guests have used before.
