2025 DEPARTURES
April 2nd – April 9th, 2025
8 spots only
Difficulty: Moderate to Easy
Acclimating in the rarified air of Ladakh is of primary importance to us and we will take all pains to make sure each and every guest does the requisite things for acclimation.
The itinerary itself includes some walking and some climbing, but nothing too strenuous. Being able to walk for an hour with a weighted backpack at sea level, or being able to climb stairs for a sustained 15-20 minute is enough fitness for what we envision. That said, please do check with your doctor about your individual fitness for high altitude.
