Overview

The Snowman Trek is widely considered one of the most difficult treks in the world. It crosses a series of very high passes into the remote Lunana region and is possible only in a short weather window each year.

Because conditions vary from season to season, we plan each Snowman expedition individually. Contact us for a detailed itinerary, the best dates and what is required.
