This high altitudes expedition aims to reach the
Advance base camp of Mt. Everest; world's
highest trek - trekking on trails to 6300 m
without the need of crampons, ice axes or
mountaineering skills. The trek takes you the
closet of Mt. Everest. Essentially, this
expedition takes into all the highlights of our
Everest North base camp with 6 days trek beyond
the base camp to reach our destination Advance
Base camp. Most of the climbers once
acclimatized, hike in a day or two to Advance
base camp from Base camp. But we will take it
slowly to reach our destination ABC without

Loben Expeditions trips are designed for
flexible, energetic people who like to be active
and have a spirit of adventure and a positive
attitude. We rate this trip as a “ultimate
challenge.” You should be an experienced hiker
in good physical condition. Most days are spent
at altitudes above 3800 m.
Porters or pack animals carry most of the gear
and camp supplies, leaving you free to hike with
only a light day pack. Though no technical
climbing or other special abilities are required
even so, trekking at high altitudes is
strenuous. Exercise at high altitude compounds
the physiologic stress. In addition, high
altitude may create discomfort and symptoms of
illness that you do not experience while
exercising at lower elevations, such as
shortness of breath, restlessness or
sleeplessness at night, and headaches. You need
to be in excellent health and top physical
condition to enjoy such an experience, with
adequate cardiovascular endurance, muscular
strength, and excellent balance. Clients with
heart and lung problems or blood diseases should
consult their doctor before booking the trip.
Altitude sicknesses are common & could be fatal
if not taken well care. Our Tibet itinerary with
couple days in Lhasa generally makes client fit
enough & acclimatizes to continue his/her
program. However, simple headache, fever, loss
of appetite and stomach disorders can happen
before the acclimatization. Advised, drink
approx. 3 liters of water per day, do not strain
yourself and take regular rests. Smoking and
drinking should be stopped for at least first
two days. |
