Arrival in Leh & Acclimatisation
We shall receive you at the airport in Leh (3500m) and transfer to the hotel. Our guide will meet you at the hotel and brief you about the upcoming climb. The first day will be spent resting at the hotel. In the subsequent days, we shall hike to progressively higher grounds for acclimatisation and return each day to the hotel. The remaining time will be spent going in and around the places of interest in Leh.

Base Camp-Summit Climbing Period
This period is reserved for climbing to Camp-1(5468m), Camp-2 (5990m) & Camp-3 (6436m) in phased manner. This will allow us sufficient time for our bodies to acclimatize. The period also includes rest day for recovery and spare days (to account for inclement weather, if any).
