FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you book.
You don’t need to be an experienced mountaineer, but a good baseline fitness level matters. We recommend 3 to 4 months of cardio and hiking before departure. Daily hikes of 5 to 7 hours at altitude require endurance rather than technical skill.
