At Adventure Lovers we care a lot about high safety for our clients. Therefore we offer you who will climb in Himalaya with us to book a pre-trip weekend, a couple of weeks before your trip to Nepal. This is so that you can acquire knowledge and skills needed for safe climbing and avoiding AMS.

Preparation weekend starts with getting together for briefing a Saturday morning in Stockholm, going through what kind of gear you should bring and what you can buy in Kathmandu with a discount.

We will teach you what AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) means and what can be done to avoid it. Please check this link if you want to know more on the subject before we meet. www.basecampmd.com

After lunch we will take you to a mountain outside Stockholm and practice rope and ice axe techniques ascending and practice descending by rappelling. We will also practice crampon techniques in different situations and self-arrest (how you stop a fall with your ice axe if you fall)

For those of you who wish, we will arrange a common evening dinner at a restaurant in Stockholm, so that you get the chance to know each other better ahead of your trip. We can also help you find a place to stay overnight at decent prices. Please let us know in advance if you need housing.
