What they said

"Early morning mist lifted quickly and the first snowy peaks appeared. We set off early and rested near the river before the steep ascent onto the terrace above the, where we were to trek. The meadow floor was carpeted with flowers, with dewdrops glistening in the bright morning sun. The sun's reflection on the river, the array of colours, the snowy peaks in the background, these were experiences I shall never forget."

- Says Edwin Gruber who did trekking to Mt. Everest North Face with us in 2003.

Trip Planning / Itinerary / Acclimatization: > We always plan our every trip with a great care. Itineraries we follow ensure to have sufficient time for acclimatization, and comfort. Of course there are stops for a coffee break, and to take photographs. Transportation: > During our whole journey in Tibet we drive in 4wd Land Cruisers. Accomodations: > In Kathmandu, we normally stay either in Four or Five Star Hotels. In Tibet we will be using the best hotels / guest houses as available. (See the Hotels we use). Team / Staff / Logistic Supports: > The whole trip will be backed up by Makalu Adventures very experienced support team. The Climbing Sherpa, Guides, and staff have wealth of knowledge. Of course the team will be insured, and well equipped. Makalu Adventure will provide the equipments of major logistic support such as camping and kitchen utensils. A professional kitchen crew will everyday prepare hot, and fresh food three times a day while trekking. Safety: > We will have with us a portable altitude chamber (PAC) but with steady acclimatization we will have no problems. If you think necessary we can arrange VHF transceivers for the communication in mountains and a satellite telephone for international and emergency calls.
