The sky’s the limit on these challenging summit walking tours

Summit Walking Adventures

There are few sensations as rewarding and fulfilling as reaching the summit of a mountain. We have more than 30 years’ experience trekking the highest and most challenging mountains on Earth, so we know the importance of careful planning and expert support, especially when tackling peaks over 6000m. At Exodus, our summit walking holidays are never just about ‘peak bagging’; they combine the most enjoyable routes with the best views, while putting something back into the communities we visit too.

The thrill of standing at the highest point in a given mountain range, country or continent is unparalleled. From the challenging climb to the sense of achievement as you reach the top, our summit walking trips are more than just a holiday. We lead tours to the highest peaks in Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia, including those in the Atlas Mountains, the Andes, the Alps and the Tatras, not to mention treks to Kala Pattar (5545m) in Nepal.

In focus: Island Peak (Imja Tse), 6189m

See it: Flanked by the Lhotse and Imja glaciers, the mountain stands like an island in the middle of the Dingboche Valley in Nepal.

Live it: We stay in a mixture of environmentally friendly camping spots and locally owned teahouses. All the money you spend on meals in the teahouses goes directly back to the community.

Climb it: 16 days point-to-point walking with full porterage, this trek also features roped-up walking and use of an ice axe and crampons. In terms of technicality, it’s a stage up from Mera Peak and great for those who want to progress up the ladder of high-altitude climbs. There are some steep ascents and descents, as well as some narrow trails. As this trek ascends to very high altitudes, participants should be confident of their physical fitness and should have previous experience of trekking at altitude and in snow.

We have just returned from this amazing trip.
What a wonderfully experience it was.
David the tour leader was absolutely fantastic.
He was strong and decisive leader and was exactly what we all needed to complete this tough challenge.
The porters were unbelievable and every bit of credit you read about them in other reviews is so very well deserved.
See for yourselves how dedicated to you they are.
It’s like a small village constantly on the move up the mountain together.

The food was first class and there were a lot of choices for everybody.
To be fair we all ate really well and you certainly wont go hungry at all.

The mess tent had a great vibe as you will find similar people wanting to do similar things as yourselves.
Our group of 11 had a great balance.
Me and my wife were the only couple together and all the others had come despite being in relationships.

Advice
Don’t take a book or a kindle. There is very little ‘down time’ so you wont get the time you think you will get because there is always something to do.
I thought we’d have hours of waiting around in the afternoons but it never worked out that way.
Sometimes everybody would be tired and take a nap other times a card game would commence.
You’ll be amazed at how quickly the hours go.

You will have a great group of people believe me.
You booked this trip for the same reasons that they did so embrace it.

You will wear a lot of the same clothes, just ensure you have your summit night clothes fresh and ready to go.
Because we went in early February there were hot days and cold nights.
Your clothes wont smell and neither will you so take a little roll on deodorant and use it every morning.

You will get a wishy washy (bowl of hot water) every morning and most afternoons too.

Remember it’s nothing like Glastonbury camping mainly because you will always be sober.

Believe it or not but the 15kg allowance is plenty.
No it really is.
Don’t stress about packing it’s all going to be OK…

Don’t go mad with your snacks as there is unlimited chocolate and biscuits provided by Exodus.

The only small complaint was that the toilet tent was a bit shabby and the zipper needed attention.
The toilet itself was absolutely fine.
I’m sure Exodus can afford a new toilet tent.

The organisation was first class and a lot of friendships developed.
It’s amazing how it’s all arranged and so well put together.

I would recommend this trip 100% and Exodus as a company have got you covered.
They might cost a little more than other tours but you get what you pay for on the mountain.
