Every mountain is another mountain regardless of its height. Mt K2 is regarded as one of the challenging and technical mountains; a good deal of mountaineering experience and skills for your own safety and of the team is required. K2 is renowned for its treacherous conditions and demanding terrain, even experienced climbers describe it as a “savage” mountain.

Kaitu Expedition requires our clients to have participated in Himalayan expeditions above 6000 meters & one of the 8000 meters with knowledge of basic mountaineering skills and experience of expedition life. The clients should be confident and comfortable to adopt Himalayan mountaineering practices such as using fixed ropes to ascend, descend, and crevasse crossing using ladders.

** We highly recommend our clients sign up for Mt. Manaslu Expedition 8163 meters with us to prepare and train for Everest. This is a great opportunity to build self-confidence by testing yourself at 8000 meters, and familiarize yourself with fixed rope climbing, and ladder crossing.

For your own personal health; it is strongly recommended that travelers are covered against the following diseases; Poliomyelitis (childhood booster), Tetanus (childhood booster), Typhoid (food and water-borne disease), and Hepatitis A (food and water-borne disease). For those undertaking a longer more rural trip to Nepal, other vaccinations may need to be considered including Hepatitis B, Rabies, Japanese B, and Meningitis.

There is a risk of being affected by Acute Mountain Sickness. Our itineraries are designed to enable everyone to acclimatize to these altitudes, but you should be aware that it is still possible for you to be affected.

At Base Camp we have a fully equipped kitchen with well-trained kitchen staff to prepare delicious meals by maintaining strict hygiene practices. Our chef will prepare three meals a day with a variety of food choices. An unlimited supply of snacks and hot drinks 24 hours in the dining tent is available. During the climb, we mostly use dry/dehydrated foods. 

We strongly recommend you have a valid Travel + Medical insurance policy to cover the cost of medical treatment, and emergency helicopter evacuation and to protect the value of your holiday in the event of cancellation. When taking out insurance please ensure the policy you choose covers you for the activities and altitude included in your itinerary.

We believe in delivering the highest standard of client care. A team of dedicated and experienced Sherpa will provide support for the climb while expert kitchen staff will fuel the team with hygienic and nutritious meals for clients and support staff alike.
