WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE KHUMBU THREE PEAK EXPEDITION?
Despite being rated as a novice to intermediate-level climb, the Khumbu Three Peak route is not to be taken lightly. Mountains are graded according to their technical and physical difficulties. Climbers doing this climb must be in excellent physical and mental health. Climbers are advised to concentrate on strength and endurance training in order to guarantee the best possible preparation for the ascent. This can include aerobic activities like cycling for one to two hours, trekking with an additional weight of 10 to 15 kg, and long-distance jogging (15 to 20 km) three to four times a week.
Training programs such as introductory climbing courses are also beneficial. Technical skills include learning how to walk on ice, snow, and rock with crampons, ascend with a rope on five or six anchor points using ascenders, abseil effectively, and be aware of general gear safety checks.
WHAT EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHES ARE NEEDED FOR THE KHUMBU THREE PEAK EXPEDITION?
Choosing the right equipment is crucial to a successful ascent. It’s advised to put comfort and quality first while selecting clothes and equipment. It’s important to wear enough clothing, especially at night when the temperature might dip to -10 or -15°C.
It is strongly advised to use high-quality equipment, such as footwear, for trekking and mountaineering. We recommend double-layered shoes like the Scarpa Phantom or La Sport G2Sm. Investing in high-quality equipment is a smart move because it will have a big influence on the security and success of your ascent.
WHAT KINDS OF FOODS ARE AVAILABLE DURING THE KHUMBU THREE PEAK CLIMB?
Most tea houses have mineral water available for purchase. We will boil ice while peak camping to provide drinking water, which our kitchen crew will collect. Drinking 4 to 6 liters of water a day is advised for clients to ensure adequate hydration and acclimatization. To guarantee clean and safe drinking water, we advise utilizing a filter bottle or hydration pills.
Usually, meals are cooked at the tea houses, and on days when we go climbing, our Sherpa team sets up kitchen tents. The food will be great, but don’t forget to eat enough because the body may naturally reject eating at high elevations. For individuals who would rather not eat the hot food being served in the tents, there are other meals that are packaged and dried.
It’s crucial to stay away from drinking and smoking when climbing. Unlike climbers who are there for adventure vacations, our guiding leaders are experts who have acclimated to high-altitude conditions, despite the fact that you may see them smoking or drinking.
What kind of travel insurance will I need for Khumbu Three Peak Expedition?
It’s important to have sufficient insurance coverage before starting a climbing excursion. Unexpected things might happen at any time, such as being sick or getting altitude sickness. Because of this, we strongly advise getting insurance.
Helicopter evacuation can be required in an emergency. This is particularly true in the Everest region, where the only possible form of transportation is via flight. If a significant problem emerges, a helicopter evacuation will be implemented, and but in the meantime, our guides will assess the situation and utilize their knowledge to encourage and assist you.
We will get permission to begin the evacuation procedure by calling the insurance company’s emergency hotline. The cost of the evacuation must be paid for in advance, but with the right paperwork—such as receipts for the helicopter evacuation and a statement from a doctor certifying the patient—it can be refunded when the patient returns home.
