Frequently asked
Everything you might be wondering before you book — tap a question to expand.
It's a strenuous, high-altitude trek — roughly 60 km through the Hindukush with a 4,970 m pass crossing that tests your endurance and strength. You should be fit, experienced and comfortable with long days on rough, glaciated terrain.
July and August, when the pass is clear of deep snow. Temperatures range from mild to cold, so bring warm layers and a good sleeping bag.
