On this holiday we will be constantly at an altitude of more than 3500m. Therefore, it is essential that you acclimatize well in order to make the best of the week. You will be advised by the UFO guide to rest and keep your body hydrated as much as possible on the first day of arrival. Your oxygen levels will be monitored from time to time to check on the level of acclimatization. There is fair bit of travelling to be done every day, and we would encourage you to do a bit of walking/running and breathing exercises to enjoy this trek. A fair level of fitness is always helpful.

I joined UFO on their twin peaks initiative in Ladakh climbing Stok Kangri (6150m) & Golep Kangri (5900m). The experience could not have been better curated. From the start of the trip till the very end, everything was well organised to meet the best quality standards. The team is beautifully welcoming and cheerful!
Fantastic 2 days spent in Doon Valley, with some great camping experience, views of the Himalayas.. UFO Team was extremely warm, helpful and professional. This was our daughter's (who is 9 years old) first camping experience, she rated this one of her best trips.
UFO are great partners when seeking adventure. I did an expedition to Mentok Kangri (6210m) and Kang Yatse II (6250m) in Ladakh, day hike to the double living root bridge in Cherrapunji, Meghalaya and also a relaxed camping experience in Hemis national park in Ladakh. UFO are very hospitable in accommodating their guests specially at high altitudes.
