Notes Itinerario
What level of support is there?
We offer full service treks and climbs, which basically means we do the work and you walk or climb. We provide full support so all you have to carry is a daypack with whatever you require for that day’s walk. On climbing trips, it is necessary to carry personal and climbing gear from basecamps to moraine and high camps. Our staff will also erect and take down the tents, cook, wash up and even supply bed tea in the morning. This allows you plenty of free time to relax or explore your surroundings as you wish.
How big are the groups?
All our groups are small with a stated maximum group size, which is never more than 5. We believe that small groups are safer, socially more fun and perhaps, more importantly, essential to preserve the local environment and cultural integrity of the areas we visit.
