From beginner skills-based courses to more advanced climbs, our experienced crew and professional leaders will teach you the essential basics. We want you to succeed, so we start you out with modest goals, which in turn boosts your confidence allowing you to move onto more challenging goals.

Use of quality gear
All our Nepal expeditions come with a complimentary souvenir kit bag and use of a climbing pack – that's free use of a sleeping bag, down or fibre fill jacket and insulated sleeping mat valued at over US$500.

When required, use of crampons, climbing helmet, ropes and certain climbing gear for pass crossings is also provided along with all group technical equipment.

We follow stringent safety procedures and standards.

✓

Best ratio of guides
The general ratio can be between 2 and 4 climbers to 1 mountaineering guide, so when summit day arrives, you’ll receive personal attention and encouragement if the climb proves to be difficult. On some climbs, there is a 1:1 climber to guide/climbing sherpa ratio (check the trips inclusions for exact details).

Porterage of personal gear.
