IMPORTANT NOTES

Flexible about when you can travel? Consider the pros and cons of our travel seasons. In Low Season (May and October), you’ll get the BEST VALUE on our tours, with less traffic and far fewer people at the most popular sites. The trade-off is that the weather is typically more variable, cooler, and wetter.

Additionally, some sites may be closed, and the glacial lakes could still be frozen in the spring—though that’s a stunning sight in itself! In Peak Season (June to September), everything is open, the weather is more consistent, warmer, and generally drier, with the glacial lakes in their full splendour. However, tours are more expensive, traffic is heavier, and the most popular spots can be quite crowded.

We take your safety, along with the safety of our staff and partners, very seriously. You can review our Safety Policy here.
