FAQ
Climbing tours are best suited for physically active people without serious health concerns. No prior mountaineering experience is required — your guide will teach you everything you need on the spot.
Hiking tours are more accessible and suitable for a wider range of people. Just let us know about any health specifics or personal needs, and we’ll help you choose the right tour or adapt one to suit you.

Depending on the tour and add-ons that you choose. Meals, transfers, and comfort levels vary from tour to tour. You may also adjust the tour after selecting additional options that you'd like.
You’ll receive a detailed gear checklist after booking. It includes warm clothing, waterproof layers, sturdy boots, gloves, sunglasses, a thermos, and a sleeping bag. Some items can be rented in Stepanstminda.
You have to buy insurance for alpinism with helicopter evacuation.

Safety comes first. The guide may decide to turn back if anyone shows signs of fatigue, altitude issues, or poor acclimatization. That’s okay — the mountain isn’t going anywhere.
The first night is spent in a mountain shelter at 3650 m. It has mattresses, heating, and meals. Sleeping bags and pads can be rented.
Horses carry group gear and food to the base camp — you only need to carry your own backpack. If you'd rather not, you can book a horse to carry your personal items. One horse costs around $110 and can carry 50–60 kg.
We monitor weather daily. In case of storms or poor conditions, we adjust the route and timing to ensure a safe experience with the best summit chances.
Signal is spotty at altitude. There may be occasional connection in base camp, but we recommend treating this as a chance for a digital detox.
We offer Ranger, Settler, and Pioneer formats. The main difference is comfort: in the base camp, you either have a chef or cook with your team. Full details are in the Tour Comparison section.
Choose your dates, send a request, and we’ll get in touch. After confirmation, you pay a deposit (usually 30%). The rest is paid on-site.
