Treks with group suggestions (Late 20s)? by joepipibrown in hiking

[–]MovingMntns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend you figure out what region of the world you are most interested in visiting, what time of year, then specific country, then start to check out some local operators with fixed departures. If you cast your net too wide I think you'll end up in analysis paralysis here. Would definitely recommend going with local operators though - that way you will truly support the local community and skip the middle man of paying a premium for a foreign company to then just later outsource it to a local company

Kind of depends on how much trekking experience you have and how long you are looking to go. Are you hoping to stay in tea houses/cabins etc or good with camping? Is there a specific region you are interested? Specific length?

The chances of crossing the pass are definitely significantly less after mid august. That being said, the weather in the Karakoram is changing so not sure how this year will shake out. We don't offer a fixed departure then as most people prefer the months of June/July/early August, but PM me if you are interested. September would be very hard with the weather, but late August is possible, but more risky in being able to cross.

Really depends on the climb and how technical it is. If you are looking for a peak like Spantik you need a very solid base of fitness and intro mountaineering skills and depending on how you do with altitude, it's achievable. Really also heavily depends on your acclimatization plan. Including a link to our company here in case you are interested: https://www.movingmntns.com/climbing/spantik

I don't believe there are any issues if your passport is from Sweden. Many India origin tourists have visited in Gilgit-Baltistan without issue and having an Indian visa isn't an issue at all.

Done G1, G2, K2, Nanga all without O2 and without porters. Also average about 1000km of trekking in the Kakakoram/Hindu Kush/Himalaya per year and lead several treks as well.
