Additional Information
Elevation Change: 3900 – 5200 m. / 12795 – 17060ft
High Season: May – November
Level of difficulty: Moderate
We will climb up to 5200m/17060ft on this trek, with the entire route being at high altitudes. Combined with harsh weather, this trek can be hard work. We want you to remember this trek with a smile on your face, so please make sure that you are well acclimatized, healthy, and in good shape before your trip.
Since the weather can be very cold and moist, your clothes won’t dry at night. Please bring extra clothes to change into.
While this trek is available year-round, we recommend avoiding the rainy season (November – March) when there will be less visibility on the trek, potentially obscuring the amazing views. The climate will also be colder, often with snow.
