- Equipment: What you’ll need to bring and what matters most when choosing your kit.
- Altitude and acclimatisation: What to expect at altitude and how our itineraries are designed to help you acclimatise.
- Life on the trip: Accommodation, food, trekking conditions and what to expect from the overall experience.
- Your questions: Plenty of time to ask our team anything you’d like to know.
The talks are relaxed and informal, so they’re useful whether you’re already planning to book or are just starting to explore the idea.
