Saribung Peak Itinerary:

A typical Saribung Peak itinerary involves a trek through the remote Langtang region, offering breathtaking Himalayan vistas. The trek begins from the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu followed by Syabrubesi which serves as an acclimatization day, and then Langtang Village. The trail passes through rhododendron forests, crystal clear lakes, and through the pastures used by the yaks. People climb Saribung (6011m) through steeply inclined routes for which technicality and use of equipment are needed besides correct acclimatization. The descent is the reverse of the ascend, giving an opportunity and means to visit the Tamang villages and learn about their culture before being transferred back to Kathmandu.

Saribung  Peak Climbing Distance:

On average, a Saribung Peak climbing expedition involves the coverage of 100- 150 kilometers of distance. This includes the trip to the base camp, the various excursions meant for acclimatization, and the last part the summiting of the mountain. However, this is a general estimation as there might be alterations in the distance depending on the track taken, the weather, and the speed of the climber. Getting through the Upper Mustang tack is interesting in terms of the view it provides, but the journey is somewhat challenging considering the area’s geographical nature and low human settlement.
Saribung peak climbing route:
The climbing route for Saribung Peak is usually from Jomsom, Nepal, and passes through the geographically isolated Upper Mustang. Spectacular scenery includes hiking, experiencing passes at certain altitudes, and getting accustomed to the terrain. The last climb to the Saribung Peak is a little challenging and involves glaciers, crevasses, and steep slopes, this makes it necessary to involve an experienced mountaineer. The descent is also similar and proffers possible sightseeing of the people and the outstanding features of the Mustang region and then to Kathmandu.
Saribung peak climbing cost:
The price of the Saribung Peak trekking depends on the number of persons in a group, the services to be offered, and the time of year. These range from $4,000-$6,000 per head and include everything from permits to transport food and water, and the gear as well as the guide and porterage services. Extra features such as exotic accommodation or an individual tour plan would certainly boost expenses. Look for more operators, hence comparing and selecting the best that suits your pocket and desires.
Saribung Peak Climbing Difficulty:
Climbing Saribung Peak is regarded to be expeditionary due to its geographical inaccessibility, high latitude, and relative rockiness. It is accentuated by steep climbing, the presence of glaciers, crevasses as well as fluctuating climatic conditions. Climbing experience, including prior mountaineering, and good physical health must be a trademark for this feat. Accumulation of acclimatization is very important to reduce associated altitude risks and technical skills are essential and useful by the time one reaches the steep climbing parts of the walls.
Saribung Peak Height:
Saribung Peak rises to a height, somewhere around 6,328 meters or 20,751 feet, and is, therefore, quite a challenging climb but it is certainly worth every effort for mountaineering enthusiasts. The peak provides marvelous vistas of the adjacent snow-topped Himalayan ranges which makes the climb a spectacular adventure.
About Saribung Peak High Camp:
The high camp, for Saribung Peak is usually set up near the height of 5800 meters. Because of the high altitude, the high camp can itself be a small number of tents where climbers use the last preparation before the attack. Temperatures at this upland are severe as are the winds, and the thinnest of airs prove to be the order of the day. The only thing a climber can do on this part of the mountain is to rest, eat, drink, and rehydrate himself or herself properly before the attempt of the summit.

Saribung Peaks safety:

Climbing to the Saribung Peak per se entails certain dangerous factors correlated with the altitudinal status, fluctuating climatic conditions, and topographic difficulties. The primary hazards are avalanches, crevasse falls, altitude sickness, and exposure. To avoid these risks, the climbers should be professional and experienced in the activity, and in good health besides having undergone the necessary acclimatization process. Measures can be taken to maximize the luck of success and safety High-country experience, having the right gear, and safety-consciousness.
Major villages of  Saribung Peak Climbing:
The climb has many enchanting villages, namely Jomsom, Kagbeni, Chele, Geling, Tsarang, Lo Manthang, Dhi Gaon, Luri Gomba, Ghuma Tanti, and Namta Khola on the way to the Saribung Peak climbing. These settlements provide a preview of the type of society of the Upper Mustang area and are completely different from the rocky landscape.
Best Viewpoints  on the Way  to Saribung Peak Climbing:
Muktinath (3,800 meters):High altitude sightseeing including the panorama of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains. The Muktinath shrine is an important place of worship and this is evidenced by the testing topographical features that include; barren land and mountains with white snow caps at the horizon.

Kagbeni (2,800 meters):Tours of the Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri ranges. The medieval village of Kagbeni possesses wonderful sights and sounds, the Kali Gandaki River, and the view of the altitude gateway to the forbidden kingdom of Upper Mustang.

Chhuksang (2,980 meters):Panoramic land views and some River Kali Gandaki gorge and cliffs. The destination of Chhuksang is well famous for its red cliffs which provide more or less bizarre-looking rock formations.

Chele La Pass (3,630 meters):Amazing vistas of Upper Mustang and the neighboring mountains. The pass offers very beautiful scenes of the inhospitable Mustang terrain that is bordered by mountains whose tops are frozen all year round.

Lo Manthang (3,840 meters):Tours of the walls of the city and the Himalayan views of the surrounding regions. Lo Manthang is a historical place and former capital of the Kingdom of Mustang with a viewpoint to watch all the region around.

Damodar Kunda (4,890 meters):Sweeping landscapes and impressive vista of Damodar Himal and several other neighboring summits. Despite being a Hindu and Buddhist pilgrim site, it may be aptly described as the ‘mirror of the gods’ as its waters mirror the towering mountains.

Saribung Base Camp (5,100 meters):Other viewpoints include some of Saribung Peak and views of glaciers in the area. The base camp has the most spectacular view of the peak and the vast glaciers with fields.

Saribung Pass (6,042 meters):Panoramic views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges of mountains with peaks as far as Tibet. According to one of the locals it offers one of the best outlooks, on the peaks and the Tibetan plateau.

Saribung Peak Summit (6,328 meters):There are wonderful prospects of the massifs of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu and the Tibetan plateau. The top of the summit provides an exciting view that is around 360 degrees and for this reason, hikers deserve to be rewarded for the hard task they accomplished.

View and Experience on Top of Saribung Peak:

The experience of being on the rooftop of the world that is Saribung Peak is something that cannot be described in words. We get a breathtaking view of the gigantic mountain ranges known as Annapurna and Dhaulagiri and several other gigantic mountainous zones. This strikes me immediately and expands infinitely – the scale of the Tibetan Plateau: a white nothingness in the distance. This loneliness is very rewarding because climbers feel that they are in the middle of a snowy and even icy meadow with gorgeous wind blowing around them. It is the thrill that makes a man and the victory of the human spirit over the dominating rock massifs.

Flora and Fauna In Saribung Peak Climbing:

Vegetation cover as well as the wildlife is limited due to the altitude of location of the Saribung Peak. Considering that the Upper Mustang resides in the Himalayan range of Nepal, it is even more desolate, it is a desert and the altitude is very high, and all these factors make it very hard for most living organisms to survive. Some parts, particularly on lowlands, are covered with tough shrubs and grasses, while most of the upper parts are very sparsely vegetated or even practically astir. Similar to plant life, animal life is restricted and the traveler may come across blue sheep, Himalayan marmots and in the more desolate stretches, may sight the snow leopard.

Festivals and Culture of Saribung Peak Climbing:

The Saribung Peak climbing region influences Tibetan Buddhism. As the trekkise is set in the high mountains and has many days devoted to ascension, it is rather difficult to get a lot of experience with the color of the local festivals During the trek though, it is possible to get a glimpse of life in the Upper Mustang region. Picturesque features include ancient monasteries, fluttering prayer flags, mani walls and so on which make the physical climbing task a real spiritual. The culture of the region with a mixing of both Tibetan and Nepalese flavors enhances the cultural values and heritage of the country.

Currency Exchange:

Accommodation Saribung Peak Climbing:

Food and shelter services on a Saribung Peak climbing expedition are a combination of teahouses and camping. In the lower areas, there are ample numbers of teahouses where trekkers can find comparatively basic facilities. The choice of teahouses also declines as elevation rises, and the trekkers begin camping. Climbers will be sleeping in tents including at the base camp to ensure that they can acclimatize fully. Camping in such conditions is rather difficult but it is an option that allows you to plunge into the stunning nature of the Himalayas and concentrate on the climb.

Meals during the Saribung peak climbing Trip:

Saribung peak climbing means lots of trekking and climbing; therefore, the food served during the expedition is nourishing. In teahouses, you will get a combination of Nepali and Tibetan food, and they tend to major in carbohydrates. As you go higher it gets even more basic but has noodles, rice, soup, and their staple meal the Dal Bhat. When the place of stopover is located at high altitudes, and the nights are spent in tents, the cook of the expedition cooks delicious and healthy meals with the use of dehydrated or freeze-dried products. Staying hydrated is important so fluids such as tea and soup which are hot are offered all day.

Drinking water during Saribung Peak Climbing:

Water is very important when it comes to Peak climbing, therefore keeping the body hydrated is important. As they move from one village to another, they are afforded boiled water to drink from teahouses. However, if you go higher, the availability of clean water is very limited or can barely be accessed. One should always have with them water purification tablets or a small portable water filter to purify water from natural sources. Consumption of sufficient amounts of water enables the prevention of altitude sickness and good health during the physically demanding climb. The availability of rehydration salts is also recommended to help in the replenishing of the electrolytes that may have been washed out through the sweat.

Extra Personal Expenses for Saribung Peak Climbing:

Your Trip covers most expenses during the peak climbing; you'll need to spend money on extra accommodations and meals in Kathmandu, souvenirs, and beverages. The package does not include expenses incurred for personal items and services such as trekking and climbing equipment, laundry, tips, landlines, mobile phones, walkie-talkies, satellite phones, and internet services. You will need to cover these costs yourself as you use them. While most expenses during the Trek are covered, you must budget additional accommodations and meals in Kathmandu, souvenirs, and beverages. We estimate miscellaneous expenses to be around USD 15-25 per trekking day. However, personal expenses will vary depending on your income, habits, and lifestyle.

Toilet Facilities in Saribung Peak Climbing:

Sanitation on the elevation of Saribung Peak is still relatively primitive; They have toilets on the way up the route of climbing the Saribung Peak. As you travel a little higher, many of the villages and teahouses offer the more basic, flush-down toilets as are seen in the Western world. You will find that there are more squat toilets and the higher up you go the fewer flush toilets are available. Sanitary wipes are less likely to be found in public places, such as washrooms, and therefore one should always possess his or her toilet paper. Disposal of wastes is very important especially in areas of high altitude since sanitation and hygiene are very important. When climbing to the BC or higher camps, pit toilet or outdoor toilets is most often cited.

Internet Connectivity:

Any form of connectivity to the Internet is usually very scarce while on a Tent Peak climb. However, only a few teahouses which are along the trekking route provide Wi-Fi facilities and that too normally it is slow Wi-Fi. The beauty of this is that as you go higher, the internet connection diminishes severely. As much as internet connections can be compromised throughout a climb, especially in base camps, one must be ready not to have access to it at all. Another factor that needs to be managed and reconstructed is attending to the ‘presence’ of the trek and the climb, by avoiding the distractions of technology and digital connectivity.

Electricity voltage and plugs:

However, 95 % of Nepali people have access to electricity as of May 29, 2023. almost popular trekking and climbing routes, teahouses, and lodges have electricity. However, some isolated and solo trekking tea houses in the jungle don't have electricity; most tea houses let travelers charge for their devices for a small fee. The average electrical voltage in Nepal is 230 volts, with plug types like Type C, Type D, and Type M. Travellers should bring a suitable adapter and, if needed, a voltage converter for their electronic devices.

Communication:

The guest houses in the trekking and climbing regions have internet access. You could buy a SIM card at Tribhuvan International Airport Kathmandu and Namche. However, the signal may need to be more assertive at high altitudes. Our office keeps in touch with all trekking teams via the trek guide at least once daily to ensure everything goes as planned. However, services include landlines, mobile phones, walkie-talkies, satellite phones, and internet services. You will need to cover these costs yourself as you use them.

These months are characterized by favorable weather conditions, including clear skies, stable temperatures, and minimal precipitation.
Spring (March-May):This season is renowned for its blooming rhododendrons and other alpine flowers, transforming the trek into a visual spectacle. Moderate temperatures and stable weather create ideal climbing conditions.

Travel Insurance:

Trekking over high passes, climbing peaks, and mountaineering are per se inviable activities in the remote regions and can be dangerous at any point in time. Hence, the safety issue is the most important one for us. When planning for a trip to Nepal in case of an emergency rescue, medical treatment, medical tests, or hospitalization, you are required to have travel insurance.
Asiana Treks and Tours strongly advises our valuable clients to have travel insurance that protects adventurous activities at high altitudes above 6500 m. This comprehensive coverage, which includes accidents and emergency help, will provide you with the peace of mind you need during your high-altitude adventure.
However, you can get this insurance online from different companies. Here are some popular Insurance company choices for Everest Base Camp Trekking:

Australia and New Zealand: Fast Cover, Allianz Australia.
Singapore: Ergo, World Nomad Explore plan level 3.
Europe: Europe Assistance, Austrian Alpine Club, Allianz Europe.
India: ICICI Lombard
But make sure the policy covers trekking up to 5985,000 m altitude. These are just suggestions, so the policies and what they cover might vary. It's best to contact these insurers directly to ask about what they offer before you buy anything.
High Altitude Sickness and Acclimatisation:
Altitude sickness is common among hikers and peak climbers in Nepal's Himalayan Region. It happens when the body doesn't get enough oxygen at higher elevations, causing headaches and dizziness. Acclimatization is essential to prevent this. It means gradually getting used to higher altitudes by resting, drinking fluids, and ascending slowly. Spending an extra day at lower elevations before going higher is the best way to avoid altitude sickness. Hydration is the main issue during Trekking to prevent dehydration, which can worsen altitude sickness. Drinking plenty of water, tea, and soup can help. Trekkers can also take medicines like acetazolamide or dexamethasone to relieve symptoms. However, it's best to consult a doctor first. Proper acclimatization techniques are like "climb high, sleep low," and please keep in mind that during your Trek, you should always stay hydrated, which would reduce the risk of altitude sickness. Booking with an experienced guide can ensure you get the right advice and help during your Trek.
Packing Checklist for Paldor  Peak Climbing:
When planning a Saribung peak climbing trip in Nepal, packing the right gear is crucial for a successful journey, which includes clothing, equipment, and accessories tailored to your Trek and the time of year. If you're trekking, pack light unless you're hiring a porter. Consider renting or buying gear in Nepal to save space. Ensure your equipment is high-quality and in good condition to avoid problems in the mountains. Take our suggestions to prepare your baggage correctly. Lastly, double-check the weather forecast and ensure you have all the necessary items for a safe and comfortable trip.
Typical Day in Paldor  Peak Trekking:
Each day of the Paldor peak climbing brings new experiences as you explore different places, enjoy breathtaking landscapes, and converse with locals to learn more about their customs and culture. Our guides will provide information about the places you visit. Trekking usually starts around 7-8 am, depending on the distance to cover and the terrain. We'll stop for lunch after about three hours of Trekking, usually on the way to our destination for the day. After lunch, you'll have an hour to rest before continuing the Trek. The afternoon trek is shorter, and once we reach our destination, you'll have time to explore until it gets dark. Dinner is served around 6-7 pm, followed by a briefing from your trek leader about the next day's plan. Afterward, you can relax and entertain yourself with games or learn Nepali words from our crew.
About the sensitive zone in Paldor Peak Climbing:
The Paldor Peak climbing is not one with no dangers associated with it just like every climb of a mountain with a high altitude. Fluctuation of climate, risk of avalanches, the possibility of falling into crevasses, and toute at such heights are major risks. To counter these, there is a need to hire experienced tour guides, quality equipment, and a good understanding of mountain trekking.
Climbers shall be physically fit, and well acclimatized; and on this trip, we should be prepared to meet some emergencies that may arise out of this adventure. Despite the desire to maximize exploration of such areas, it is very risky to wander off the roads and tracks without the necessary expertise and knowledge. It is as a result important to follow safety measures and be considerate of the environment on the mountain to avoid misfortunes.

Trip Info

Saribung Peak Climbing – Start Point and How to Get There

Saribung Peak climbing adventure begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s vibrant capital city situated at an elevation of 1,337 meters (4,385 feet). Kathmandu serves as the perfect gateway to the remote Mustang region and the Saribung Peak. Travelers typically arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, which is well connected to major international cities. Upon arrival, trekkers spend a day acclimatizing and preparing for the journey ahead, exploring Kathmandu’s rich cultural heritage and assembling last-minute gear.

From Kathmandu, the journey to Saribung Peak’s base region begins with a scenic drive or a short domestic flight. Most climbers choose to drive or fly to Pokhara, a picturesque city by the lakeside, as an important transit point. Following Pokhara, a flight to Jomsom marks the start of the actual trek towards Saribung. Jomsom, located in the Kali Gandaki valley at around 2,720 meters (8,924 feet), is the launchpad for the challenging trekking and climbing phases.

Trek Distance, Duration & Elevation Gain on Saribung Peak Climbing

Saribung Peak Climbing involves a moderate to strenuous trek combined with technical mountaineering. Below is an overview of the key trekking and climbing parameters:

Total Duration: 20 days

Trekking Distance: Approximately 120-130 kilometers (75-81 miles) round trip from Jomsom through Mustang to base camp and back

Elevation Range: From Jomsom (~2,720m) to Saribung Peak summit (6,350m)

Daily Trekking Duration: 4 to 7 hours, depending on terrain and acclimatization needs

Elevation Gain: Roughly 3,600 meters from Jomsom to summit, with gradual acclimatization stops at key points such as Lo-Manthang (3,840m), Yara (4,200m), and base camp (5,500m)

Climbers must be prepared for varied terrain including rocky paths, alpine meadows, and snow-covered slopes near the summit. The steady ascent allows the body to adapt to altitude and reduces the risk of altitude sickness. The summit day is the most demanding, requiring early starts and good physical conditioning.

Types of Accommodation on Saribung Peak Climbing

Accommodation throughout the Saribung Peak climbing trek varies from comfortable hotels to basic teahouses, reflecting the remoteness of the Mustang region and altitude considerations.

Kathmandu & Pokhara: 3-star or higher hotels with modern amenities, providing a restful start and end to the trip.

Jomsom & Lo-Manthang: Comfortable lodges and guesthouses offering clean rooms, hot showers (sometimes), and good food. These spots provide excellent opportunities to rest and refuel.

Along the Trek: Traditional teahouses and lodges, simple but warm and hospitable, with basic sleeping arrangements such as shared dormitories or private rooms with mats and blankets. Facilities may be limited, especially above 4,000 meters.

Base Camp: Camping under tents or simple shelter structures, as permanent accommodation is unavailable. Climbers experience the raw mountain environment with the support of experienced guides and cooks from Asiana Treks and Tours.

Despite the simplicity, the accommodations offer a chance to connect deeply with the Himalayan lifestyle and culture, creating memorable experiences alongside the physical challenge of the climb.

Meals & Food Options on Saribung Peak Climbing Route

Nutrition plays a crucial role in a successful Saribung Peak Climbing expedition. Throughout the trek and climb, Asiana Treks and Tours ensures that climbers have access to a variety of meals that provide the necessary energy and nutrients to sustain physical endurance and aid in acclimatization. The food options vary from traditional Nepalese dishes to more familiar international cuisine, adapted to high-altitude requirements.

In lower elevations such as Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Jomsom, trekkers enjoy rich and diverse menus with plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, and dairy products. As the trek progresses into remote Mustang regions, the diet shifts to more carbohydrate-rich meals, crucial for energy. Common meals on the trail include dal bhat (lentil soup with rice), noodles, soups, and vegetable curries. Breakfasts often feature porridge, eggs, bread, and tea or coffee. Due to the scarcity of fresh produce at higher altitudes, dried and preserved foods become staples, and hydration with plenty of fluids is emphasized to combat dehydration.

Lower elevations: Variety of fresh local and international dishes

Higher elevations: Carbohydrate-heavy meals like dal bhat, noodles, and soups

Snacks: Energy bars, nuts, dried fruits, and chocolates

Beverages: Tea, coffee, and purified bottled water (recommended)

Special dietary needs: Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available upon request

Asiana Treks and Tours also provides guidance on safe food and water consumption to avoid altitude-related illnesses. Their expert kitchen staff prepare meals in hygienic conditions, ensuring climbers receive balanced and tasty nutrition that supports stamina and recovery throughout the demanding climb.

Packing List for Saribung Peak Climbing

Packing for Saribung Peak Climbing requires careful planning due to the challenging terrain, varied weather, and altitude changes. Asiana Treks and Tours recommends packing light but with all essentials to ensure safety, comfort, and success during the expedition.

Climbers should prioritize layers of moisture-wicking and insulating clothing. A good quality down jacket, thermal base layers, waterproof outer shells, and sturdy trekking boots are essential to cope with the cold mountain environment and occasional rain or snow. Technical climbing gear, including crampons, ice axe, helmet, harness, and ropes, will be provided or arranged by the company but personal comfort items such as gloves, hats, and sunglasses should be brought by trekkers.

Clothing: Thermal base layers, fleece jacket, down jacket, waterproof jacket and pants

Footwear: Sturdy trekking boots, camp shoes or sandals, warm socks

Climbing gear: Helmet, harness, crampons, ice axe (provided by Asiana Treks)

Accessories: Sunglasses with UV protection, gloves (thermal and waterproof), sunblock

Miscellaneous: Sleeping bag (rated for -15°C or lower), headlamp, water bottles, personal medications, trekking poles

The company advises packing only what is necessary to avoid overloading, as porters or yaks typically carry most equipment. Proper packing ensures climbers remain agile and comfortable throughout long days of trekking and climbing. Asiana Treks and Tours also assists in providing any specialized gear rentals before the expedition.

From Kathmandu, travelers typically begin by taking a jeep or tourist bus to Pokhara. The jeep offers flexibility, better access to remote roads, and is faster for groups wanting a private transfer. Buses are a cost-effective option, popular among solo or budget travelers, though travel times are longer and comfort may vary. From Pokhara, the quickest way to reach the Mustang region is by domestic flight to Jomsom, a small airstrip nestled in the Kali Gandaki valley.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

Saribung Peak Climbing is a thrilling 21-day expedition that combines remote trekking with alpine adventure in the Mustang and Nar-Phu regions of Nepal. At an elevation of 6,328 meters (20,761 ft), Saribung Peak is considered a technically moderate mountain, perfect for those seeking their first Himalayan summit or seasoned trekkers looking for a new challenge. What sets this climb apart is its combination of cultural exploration in the restricted Upper Mustang region and the raw wilderness of Damodar Himal. The route also includes the dramatic Saribung Pass (6,042m), offering incredible views and an authentic high-altitude experience.

The Saribung Peak climb is classified as a moderately difficult to strenuous expedition. While technical climbing experience is not mandatory, previous high-altitude trekking experience is highly recommended. The climb includes glacier travel, crevasse navigation, and some sections with fixed ropes. Acclimatization days are well-planned into the itinerary by Asiana Treks & Tours to ensure climbers adapt comfortably. Physical fitness, mental resilience, and the ability to walk 6–8 hours per day in varied terrain are essential for a successful summit.

The 21-day Saribung Peak Climbing itinerary by Asiana Treks & Tours includes a mix of cultural sightseeing, trekking, and high-altitude climbing. The journey starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, and then to Jomsom. From there, trekkers traverse through Lo Manthang, cross the Saribung Pass, and finally summit Saribung Peak. Along the way, there are acclimatization stops and cultural immersions in ancient Tibetan-influenced villages. The package covers all meals during the trek, accommodation, climbing permits, a licensed climbing guide, porters, camping gear, and transport logistics.

Permits, Costs & Booking

Yes, all necessary permits are included in the Saribung Peak Climbing package offered by Asiana Treks & Tours. These permits include the Upper Mustang Restricted Area Permit, Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP), Nar-Phu Restricted Permit, and the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) climbing permit for Saribung Peak. Asiana Treks & Tours handles all permit applications and formalities, ensuring a hassle-free experience for climbers.

Booking is simple and can be done directly through the official Asiana Treks & Tours website, by email, or phone. A booking deposit is required to secure your spot, especially since group sizes are limited to ensure quality service and safety. Early booking is encouraged due to the restricted permit quotas in Upper Mustang and Nar-Phu. Once your booking is confirmed, our team will assist with preparation tips, gear lists, and travel planning support.

Accommodation and Food

During the trek, accommodation will be a mix of teahouses and fully-supported camping, especially in the remote and high-altitude regions. In towns like Jomsom and Lo Manthang, comfortable teahouses with basic amenities are available. During the climbing phase and in more isolated parts of the trail, high-quality camping equipment, sleeping tents, kitchen tents, and meals prepared by experienced cooks are provided. All meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are included, and special dietary preferences can be accommodated with advance notice.

Trek Preparation and Equipment

Participants will need to bring personal trekking and climbing gear, such as mountaineering boots, crampons, harness, ice axe, down jacket, and a four-season sleeping bag. Asiana Treks & Tours provides group climbing gear, including ropes, ice screws, tents, and kitchen supplies. If needed, certain items can be rented in Kathmandu before the expedition. A detailed gear checklist is provided to clients upon booking confirmation to ensure they are well-prepared.

Weather & Seasons

Transportation & Flights

Yes, comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for all climbers joining Saribung Peak Climbing with Asiana Treks & Tours. The insurance should include emergency medical evacuation, trip cancellation, high-altitude coverage (up to 6,500 meters), and lost baggage. Due to the remote and high-altitude nature of the trek, helicopter evacuation coverage is especially crucial in case of medical emergencies.

Guides, Support & Safety

Safety is the top priority at Asiana Treks & Tours. All expeditions are led by government-licensed climbing guides who are certified in first aid and high-altitude rescue techniques. Acclimatization schedules are strictly followed to reduce the risk of altitude sickness, and daily health checks are conducted during the climb.
