I keep every departure small, from two to six trekkers. When a group reaches six, a second licensed guide joins it, so no one is left unsupported on the pass. You plan your trip directly with me.

Before the trek, I ask what you most want to see and adjust the route to fit. On the trail I watch the weather each day and change the plan when a different schedule means a clearer crossing or a better view. You walk the itinerary that suits the mountains that week, not one printed months in advance.
