What fitness level is required?

This trip involves sustained daily walking of five to seven hours on uneven mountain, moraine, and glacial terrain. We recommend regular hiking, running, or equivalent training for at least two to three months before departure.

What about altitude sickness?

Rush Lake reaches approximately 4,700 m. Acclimatisation is built in — including a rest day at Hapakun — but tell your guide immediately if you feel unwell. Speak with a doctor before booking if you have heart, lung, or blood pressure conditions.

Is travel insurance mandatory?

Yes — covering high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation above 4,000 m. You will need to provide proof before departure.
