This is a high-altitude trek. It requires gradual ascent, planned acclimatisation and flexibility for weather-related flight delays. A warm insulated layer, shell, gloves and sleeping system suitable for expected night temperatures are important.
Route duration varies with acclimatisation, weather, transport and starting point. Check current park and local entry requirements before departure.
Know before you go
- Build in acclimatisation days; do not rush ascent.
