Questions
How fit do I need to be?+
You need to be in good health and used to walking for several hours on consecutive days. Longer itineraries give your body more time to adjust to altitude and raise your chances of reaching the summit.
What does the price cover?+
Please confirm in your quote what is included, such as park fees, guides, porters, meals and transfers. Prices are in US dollars per person for parties for parties of 2 to 6.
Is altitude sickness a risk?+
Yes, on any route. Take the acclimatisation advice seriously, tell your guide if you feel unwell, and consider the longer itinerary if you are unsure.
