Dear Adventure Traveler,
 
With our Kilimanjaro climb closing a week after it was announced, on popular request, we have another departure now leaving for all those who could not sign up on time.
 
We have some great mountain trips on offer, write in soon, if you do wish to smell that 20,000 foot high mountain air!
 
Our Ladakh trips are also filling up rapidly, and for those who wish to visit the Grand Canyon of the Zanskar, do get in touch, as we have only two open departures this year.

Kilimanjaro KILIMANJARO CLIMB & AFRICAN SAFARI AUG 28-SEP 10, 2010
Kilimanjaro at 5895m is the world's tallest free standing mountain rising 4600m from the base. Being the highest mountain in the African continent it is also one of the 7 continental summits. This sensational trip combines a 7 day trek on the scenic Rongai route with a 5 day safari in Tanzania. Approaching the mountain from the North through the most scenic & the least travelled route we have an extra acclimatisation day incorporated in our plan. A long challenging climb up to the summit offers some magical views from the "Roof of Africa". Spending a night at Moshi after the climb we head out to experience what is arguably world's finest game viewing - in the Serengeti, Tarangire & Lake Manyara National Park and the unique Ngorongoro Crater.
 
Possibly one of the best African trips !
 
Guaranteed departure - limited seats available.

Stok Kangri SummitSTOK KANGRI (6153M) JUL 15-24 & AUG 15-24, 2010 
The ascent of this 6000m plus mountain in 10 days is probably the quickest one can climb it, keeping in mind that one needs some time to acclimatize to the altitudes as well. After spending the first couple of days acclimatizing in Leh during which time we also visit some monasteries and the interesting Leh market, we set off for a week long trek. Instead of approaching the mountain head-on we travel some distance west and then approach it through a slightly longer route crossing the
Stok La (4890m) and then descending to the Stok valley. This approach gives us a little more time to acclimatize and the steep climb up to Stok La acts as a good test before the final ascent.
The final climb of Stok Kangri will present a challenge to even the fittest of the members. Even after being fully acclimatized and completely in form, one would always find any climb going over 6000m to be a hard one. The climb itself is not technically demanding, and on days with good weather conditions, involves going up a steep rocky scree slope and walking over sharp rocky ridge to reach the snowy summit. Most of the snow on the mountain melts away by mid July and we have rarely used crampons on our August departures. However with weather becoming more & more unpredictable one cannot rule out a possibility of dealing with some unexpected snow & ice on the mountain.

Satopanth route
SATOPANTH (7075m) JUN 11-JUL 03, 2010 
Sato (meaning truth) and panth (meaning path) literally translates to true path. It is the second highest mountain in the Gangotri group in Uttarakhand and is quite a formidable undertaking. The route includes a complex glacier approach, high angled snow slopes and knife edge ridge, before the final ascent to the summit. At just over 7000m, the effect of high altitude is going to be significant factor, as is the remote location and possibility of extreme weather.
 
Climbing Permit only for Indian mountaineers, an open departure to follow soon.
