For peak climbs we will increase the weight allowance of your main equipment bag to 15kg. However, if the airline is unable to take the excess baggage on the same flight, we will need to re-pack your climbing kit separately so that it can be sent on a later flight. A porter will then catch up with you on the trek to deliver it.

If there are any items of kit you would prefer to hire please let us know. Most items we can provide ourselves and there are also lots of opportunities in Kathmandu to rent or buy good quality kit at sensible prices.
