Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 : Where is Mt Kamet located and how tall is it?
Mt Kamet is located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, close to the Tibetan border. At 7,756 meters (25,446 feet), it's the second-highest peak in India after Kangchenjunga. It’s part of the Zaskar Range and is known for its remote beauty, glacial terrain, and rich mountaineering history. The expedition starts from Joshimath and includes several acclimatization days.
Q2 : How is Mt Kamet different from other Himalayan expeditions?
Unlike more commercial treks, Mt Kamet offers a true expedition-style experience with fewer crowds, high technicality, and raw wilderness. It involves glacier travel, fixed ropes, and high-altitude camps. The climb demands patience, resilience, and teamwork. It's not just a trek—it's a serious mountaineering challenge that tests both physical and mental endurance in some of Earth’s harshest conditions.
Q3 : How long is the entire Mt Kamet Expedition?
The expedition typically spans 28 to 30 days, including travel, acclimatization, load ferrying, summit push, and return. The long duration ensures proper adjustment to altitude and better summit success rates. It includes base camp setup, establishing 3–4 high camps, and strategic rest days. Patience is key—it’s a marathon, not a sprint, in the world of high-altitude climbing.
Q4 : What kind of training should I do before the expedition?
Preparation should start at least 3 to 4 months in advance. Include long-distance cardio like running, hiking with a backpack, strength training, and high-altitude simulation if possible. Stair climbing and weight-loaded walks improve endurance. Practice multi-day treks to get used to living out of a backpack. Mental stamina is just as crucial—stay consistent and train smart.
Q5 : Is prior mountaineering experience required?
Yes, Kamet is not for beginners. You should have experience with high-altitude treks and ideally one or two 6,000-meter climbs under your belt. Familiarity with crampons, ice axes, fixed rope systems, and using jumar/descender is essential. This is a technical expedition that requires solid mountaineering skills, not just good fitness.
Q6 : What’s the accommodation like during the expedition?
Accommodation during the expedition includes hotel stays in cities like Joshimath and camping in tents at various base and high-altitude camps. Camps are well-equipped with sleeping bags, mats, kitchen tents, and mess tents. Higher up, camps are minimal, focused on survival and functionality. It’s a back-to-nature experience where comfort takes a backseat to adventure.
Q7 : What kind of food is provided during the expedition?
At lower camps, meals include a mix of Indian and continental dishes—think rice, dal, pasta, chapati, and soups. As altitude increases, meals become simpler but high in carbs and calories to support energy needs. Hot drinks like tea, soup, and energy mixes are frequently served. Special dietary needs can usually be accommodated if mentioned in advance.
Q8 : What is the best time to climb Mt Kamet?
The ideal climbing window is May to June or late August to early October. These months offer relatively stable weather, lower wind speeds, and better visibility. Summer expeditions benefit from longer daylight hours, while post-monsoon climbs may see clearer skies. Weather is always a wildcard in high-altitude mountaineering, so flexibility is crucial.
Q9 : How cold does it get on Mt Kamet?
Temperatures can plummet to -20°C to -30°C at higher camps, especially during summit pushes or early mornings. Wind chill can make it feel even colder. Proper layering with thermal base wear, down jackets, insulated gloves, and face protection is essential. Keeping hands, toes, and face covered at all times helps prevent frostbite in extreme conditions.
Q10 : What permits are required and are they included?
Yes, the Kamet Expedition requires special inner line permits, IMF (Indian Mountaineering Foundation) approval, and local forest permissions due to its proximity to the Tibet border. These permits are typically arranged by your expedition organizer and are included in the package cost. Carry personal ID, passport copies, and passport-sized photos for verification during the process.
Q11 : Is the Mt Kamet Expedition dangerous?
Every high-altitude climb carries inherent risks. Mt Kamet involves technical sections, risk of avalanches, altitude sickness, and rapidly changing weather. However, with experienced guides, acclimatization, proper gear, and preparation, these risks can be managed. Safety protocols, fixed rope setups, and satellite communication systems are standard on most organized expeditions to ensure climber well-being.
Q12 : I am a solo traveller, can I join the Mt Kamet Trek?
Yes, you can join the trek to Mt Kamet. The trip’s difficulty level is moderate and can be attained without someone’s support. Wear robust footwear, and comfortable clothes, and maintain basic fitness to complete the trek.
Q13 : Mt Kamet Trek is safe for females?
The safety and security of women/girls are paramount to us. Hence, it's entirely safe for women/girls to participate in our treks and travels. Our trip leaders always accompany the group, offering constant assistance and direction. Our campsites are thoroughly secure and provide a safe lodging environment. In addition, our female trip leaders often join our trips.
Q14 : What will happen if the Mt Kamet Trek does not go through?
Your money will be refunded within 2-3 business days.
Q15 : Can I reschedule my Mt Kamet Trek to a future date if I am unable to attend on the day of departure?
Unfortunately, it's not feasible to reschedule your tour to a future date if you're unable to attend on the designated day, regardless of the circumstances (like family emergencies, health problems, or work commitments). However, if you have concerns about this policy, please don't hesitate to email us at info@escape2explore.com, and our team will get in touch with you to discuss further.
