Please ensure you have removed everything from the mountain.

NOTE: Dasain, the most important holiday of the Nepal year runs from 30 September to 14 October Oct and so finding porters to clear BC may be difficult. Expect delays with your bags and expedition gear if the expedition does go to the full duration. The trek out should take around six days.

Expedition extension

Most companies who offer BC support expeditions don't allow the expedition to go on past the end date. We do. There will be a charge of $50 per person per day, to a max of $150 a day total, to cover costs.
