BASICS

THESE TRIPS ARE TOO UNIQUE TO BE SIMPLY PURCHASED OFF AN ONLINE FORM WITH A ‘BUY NOW’ BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM. EVEN OUR MOST ORGANIZED TRIPS LIKE K2’S NORTH RIDGE ARE NOT JUST A PROCESS OF PRE-ARRANGED PAPERWORK AND STAMPING PERMITS.

EACH FEEDING THE RAT EXPEDITIONS TRIP IS TWEAKED & HONED TO SUIT THE TEAM, TIMELINE & OBJECTIVE. WE RUN A LEAN OPERATION ADVERSE TO UNNECESSARY ELEMENTS, SO CLIMBERS CAN GET AS MUCH ‘MOUNTAIN TIME’ OUT OF THEIR TRIP AS POSSIBLE. YOU WON’T FIND PANDA TOURS AND ROUTINE STOPS IN OUR ITINERARIES UNLESS YOU REQUEST THEM.

THE MORE INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE US THE BETTER. THIS INCLUDES SEEMINGLY CRAZY IDEAS AS WELL AS THE NORMAL NUTS & BOLTS. WE ARE ALREADY DEALING WITH LOCATIONS & A SYSTEM WELL OUTSIDE THE INDUSTRY NORMS, SO AS BRAZEN AS YOUR IDEAS MAY SEEM, TRY US.

THE SCALE OF A TRIP CAN BE ANYTHING FROM FULL BASECAMP FACILITIES AND CREW WITH PACK ANIMALS FOR PORTAGE, THROUGH TO BEING DROPPED AT A TRAIL HEAD WITH NO MORE THAN A TRANSLATOR. SCALE GIVES US A LOT OF MARGIN FOR WHERE EXPENSES GO, TIMELINES FOR ASCENT & PERMITS REQUIRED.

THE INFORMATION WE LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU INCLUDES

  • NUMBER OF TEAM MEMBERS – HOW MANY PEOPLE, DO YOU NEED MOUNTAIN LEADERS
  • EXPERIENCE OF TEAM MEMBERS – WHAT HAVE YOU DONT BEFORE & WHEN
  • OBJECTIVE(S) – WHAT YOU WANT TO DO & WHERE
  • TIME FRAME – HOW LONG HAVE YOU GOT, HOW MUCH CAN YOU DO
  • SCALE OF EXPEDITION – FULL SUPPORT, AS LEAN AS POSSIBLE, ANYTHING IN BETWEEN
  • ANY PROFESSIONAL, PERFORMANCE OR RESEARCH FACTORS

FROM THIS WE CAN RAPIDLY OUTLINE ITINERARIES, COSTS & THE RESOURCES AND WITH SOME INTERACTION ARRIVE AT YOUR FINAL TRIP PLAN. WE INCLUDE TEAM MEMBERS IDEAS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SO RIGHT FROM THE START YOU CAN CALL THE EXPEDITION YOUR OWN, AND TO MANY TEAMS SURPRISE WE HAVE MADE THE WILDEST IDEAS BECOME POSSIBLE.

FINAL COSTS ARE ALWAYS INDUSTRY RELATIVE AND YOU WILL FIND THEM TO BE VERY FAVOURABLE WHEN COMPARED TO SIMILAR ELSEWHERE. CONSIDERING THE REMOTENESS OF THESE PLACES & THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TO ACCESS THEM, XINJIANG & TIBET REPRESENT EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR MONEY & TIME.
