View all our Challenging Peaks
Essentially, our trekking peaks allow you to climb to your chosen summit and back in a day from each Base/High Camp.
The routes we use are chosen for their objective safety and sometimes involve easy angled snow slopes, straightforward ridges and occasionally minor scrambling. On some trips you may use crampons and an ice axe, ropes will be used for glacier travel, and you may camp on snow.
The trekking peak format bridges the gap in expertise and fitness needed between the more technical realm of mountaineering and our more accessible treks, offering a more challenging level of trekking. Peaks vary in height from Mount Fansipan in Vietnam (3,143m / 10,308ft) to Mera Peak (6,476m / 21,246 ft) in Nepal, but all trekking peak routes we take will offer something extra in the way of difficulty and reward.
Mountain Kingdoms offer these adventures in countries as diverse as Switzerland, Tanzania and Nepal. Trekking Peaks are carefully designed to deliver interesting treks and provide proper acclimatisation. For the higher, more remote peaks we will provide a satellite phone and Gamow bag. These treks are open to fit, determined walkers who have previously undertaken 'strenuous' treks; previous mountaineering experience is an advantage but not essential with the exception of Island Peak.
Please contact our Operations Manager, Niki Morgan, if you have any queries about your suitability; we will review your experience before accepting you onto one our trekking peak trips.
