Frequently asked questions

Why add a ninth day?

The extra night at Karanga gives you one more acclimatisation sleep before Barafu, which is the safest profile we offer on a non-technical route.

Is this route good for over-50s or first-time trekkers?

Yes — it is the itinerary we most often recommend for older climbers, families and anyone who has never slept at altitude.

What happens if someone gets altitude sickness?

Guides run twice-daily health checks with a pulse oximeter. We carry emergency oxygen and can descend quickly; evacuation support is included.
