Trek FAQs

#Answers you are looking for 

Yunam Peak is ideal for fit first-time mountaineers aiming for their first 6,000-meter summit. However, good physical fitness and prior high-altitude trekking experience are highly recommended.

The trek is challenging, mainly due to high altitude and harsh terrain. The summit day is long and demanding. Proper acclimatization is key.

Basic training is provided on how to walk on snow and self-arrest techniques. No prior technical climbing experience is required.

Temperatures can drop to -10°C to -15°C at night, especially near the summit. Good layering and insulation are essential.

The best window is mid-July to September, when the weather in Lahaul is relatively stable and snow conditions are manageable.
