strenuousMountain Safety:
Safety is the number one priority at Himalayan Holidays. Our Everest expedition is heavily supported by strongly experienced staff and has one of the highest staff to client ratios in the business. We provide a one-to-one client to Sherpa support ratio, as well as a one-to-four. Continual communication with base camp is maintained through reliable VHF radios. A 24-hour communication satellite is also provided for personal and emergency use. Himalayan Holidays also provides Gamow hyperbaric bags and additional oxygen in case of an emergency.
Our Philosophy:
Himalayan Holidays main objective is to help you summit Everest safely with the greatest amount of personal fulfillment and fun. In order for us to achieve our goal we are dedicated to ensuring that you are properly prepared for the summit attempt. Himalayan Holidays offers a wide variety of mountaineering courses and a diverse range of high-altitude peaks, as well as focused individual attention to help clients prepare for the expedition.
Himalayan Holidays Strategy:
Because it’s critical to acclimatize properly to maintain health and fitness and avoid altitude problems, Himalayan Holidays begins the slow acclimatization process with a leisurely 9-day trek to base camp. Once at base camp a pyramid of camps is established. The highest camp in the acclimatization process is Camp 3 at 7400 meters, and from there we will begin our summit attempt. Our experienced guides and Sherpa’s will fix ropes, stock camps and provide leadership and support for the climb. This enables you to carry lighter loads so you can save your strength for the summit bid. Oxygen will be used for all team members above Camp 3.
Team members leave for the summit the previous evening to allow adequate time to reach the summit by mid-morning. Himalayan Holidays provides additional oxygen, food, fuel and support for multiple summit attempts until Mother Nature deems the mountain un climbable for the season. Himalayan Holidays equipment, service, and support are top-notch so you will have an outstanding chance at summiting the highest mountain on the planet.
