Expedition Food
In general food on trek and at Base Camp consists of local fresh produce that is often supplemented with supplies from the UK.
On the hill there will be plenty of snack food such as chocolate, cereal bars, jelly, nuts, etc. At high camps we will generally use a combination of boil-in-the-bag and freeze dried food supplemented by cheese, salami or items found locally.

For special interest and to keep the taste buds going we ask each member to bring a small ‘luxury’ item to share at some point with the rest of the group.

Quality
We pride ourselves on providing a quality experience. We are happy to provide a list of our previous expedition members from which you can select a contact.

Adventure Travel – Please Read
Many of our expeditions take place in the developing world where the limitation of facilities and infrastructures can make travel unpredictable and the cultural differences can lead to inconsistency in standards. You must be ready for the unexpected. For those who want to travel and enjoy their expedition, it is very important to set your expectations on the right level for a less economically developed country. It is important to leave behind Western expectations and approach travel with an open mind, patience and flexibility. The expedition leaders of Adventure Peaks will be working hard to overcome problems which may occur and try to ensure that its standard of services are maintained. You should however be aware that some events are beyond our control and we would ask for your patience.

Accommodation
Hotel rooms and other accommodation will be on a twin room sharing basis. Single rooms where possible will be provided where there is not a member of the same sex to share with. Single rooms can be requested at an extra cost.
