Itinerary
In general, peak climbing is advised for newcomers who are prepared to dive into the realm of mountaineering. Still, high-altitude trekking expertise is necessary to reach the peak’s summit. Extreme elevations, steep ascents, and air that are difficult to breathe make it challenging to reach the peak’s summit.
The optimum months to travel for this climb are March through May and September through November. To complete this hike, you must be in good physical and mental health because the trails are slippery with ice. When it comes to the monsoon, it rains, the views are hazy, and the winters are too chilly and foggy.
