Our high success rate on the mountain is largely due to an itinerary designed for proper altitude acclimatisation. From Kathmandu we fly to Lukla and follow a little-used trail to cross into the Hinku Valley, which is then followed north to Tagnac and Khare where we make base camp.
The trail offers spectacular mountain scenery and the pace is taken slowly, with rest days to ensure thorough acclimatisation. At base camp we have a day’s instruction on climbing technique. We ascend to the Mera La, moving through crevassed terrain while roped together on moderately angled snow slopes, to a high camp at 5800 metres. From here we make our summit attempt, back-dropped by stunning views of Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Cho Oyu, Chamlang and Baruntse. From the summit the view is simply awesome, giving you a great sense of achievement and reward for this challenging experience of a lifetime. We return to Lukla via the Zatra Wala pass for an evening of celebration with our Sherpa team before flying to Kathmandu.
