COMMON INQUIRIES

Expedition Intelligence

Critical preparation guidelines for high-altitude trekking, gear requirements, and booking policies.

What physical fitness level is required?

How do you handle altitude sickness?

Our treks are graded from easy to technical. High-altitude expeditions require sustained cardiovascular endurance, strength training, and active acclimatization protocols.

We design every itinerary with built-in acclimatization days. Our guides carry pulse oximeters, supplemental oxygen, and are trained in high-altitude emergency protocols.

What gear is essential to pack?

What is your emergency evacuation policy?

A basecamp-tested 65L backpack, a sub-zero sleeping bag, broken-in hiking boots, and windproof layers are mandatory. We offer technical gear rentals at our Gujranwala den.

In extreme cases, we coordinate helicopter evacuations through Askari Aviation. Trekkers must hold valid high-altitude travel insurance covering search and rescue.

SAFETY FIRST

The mountains do not compromise. We carry satellite comms, medical oxygen, and 30 years of high-altitude rescue experience on every single trail.

Your safety is our absolute baseline. We monitor weather patterns in real-time and maintain direct contact with military rescue services.
