Itinerary

The following describes the trekking and climbing schedule.  It is rare that this is adhered to precisely due to unforseen circumstances.  Weather, sickness, acclimatization, and route fixing are examples of things that commonly set an expedition back anywhere from a day to a week, and in some cases even more. With any luck we should stay within a couple of days of the following:

It’s common to spend a few of days in Kathmandu waiting for a flight back home.  Typically, once a climber’s expedition has ended, travel agents do their best to find a flight home as soon as possible, since it’s rare that the early itinerary still matches the climber’s desired time frame to get back home.
