To increase your chances of success, members should be in good physical condition. He/she will be familiar with crevasse travel techniques, have a good overall standard of fitness and experience on 6000m to 7000m high in the mountain. A fierce determination and a burning desire to climb the mountain are essential prerequisites for this expedition.

Visas

Expedition members will need to arrange their own entry visa into Nepal. This can be organised by a Nepalese Embassy or Consular office in your own country or at Kathmandu’s airport, on arrival in Nepal. Currently the easiest and best place to obtain a visa is on arrival at Kathmandu’s airport. Visa application forms are sometimes handed out on flights (depending on the airline) into Kathmandu or they can be downloaded off the web. You will need to get a 90-day multiple entry visa, which costs US$100 (the fees may change overtime so we recommend that you check in advance). Once in Kathmandu, the expedition’s agent will provide the trekking and climbing permits. If you choose to get your visa at Kathmandu’s airport, you will need to have 1-2 passport photos handy.

Flight Information

Regular flights operate into Kathmandu via Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, Doha, Bahrain and Delhi. Please note that delays can occur, therefore it is important to allow some flexibility with airline travel arrangements at the end of the expedition. Please ensure that the ticket you purchase can have changes made to it in case of delays. Tickets purchased over the Internet and using air miles are often non-transferable so please be aware of this.
