Peak Climbing

Choosing the right peak to attempt is an important decision. It depends on your level of experience, the time available for acclimatization and preparation, and the difficulty of the approach. Another key factor is the application process—any climb above 6,000 meters requires official permission from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF).

For some rock climbers, breaking the 6,000-meter barrier may not be the main goal. Instead, they might explore the magnificent sub-6,000-meter granite walls of Zanskar or the East Karakoram. Meanwhile, alpinists of all abilities can find excellent objectives above 6,000 meters in many of Ladakh’s remote valleys.

The choice is yours, and a first-ascent expedition can cost as little as around €6,000 per person, including flights. In every case, Dokpa Expeditions will assist you with all aspects of your journey—from choosing your objective to planning and executing your expedition.
