Organic Maps

Organic maps or a similar app that works offline is useful and required! Use this to load the KML files above.

Excellent for saving webpage text for simplified offline reading

Best viewed on a desktop, laptop but works on phone too. Explore the stages on a 3D map or satellite background. NB 6a is the acclimatization day, 6b is the advanced alternative and 6c is the pass crossing.

USD bank details

info31505 — 2025-08-17 16:32:41 UTC

Current bank details! Please email or WhatsApp us if you encounter any issues, would prefer to pay in your local currency, cash or anything else. We're quite flexible and will try to help.

Payment via Wise

info31505 — 2025-09-06 17:09:08 UTC

If you use Wise.com, then try paying here. If you are lucky then you might be able to use your local debit card in your local currency, but either way it makes an international wire transfer somewhat easier than using your bank.

Mountain forecast app

info31505 — 2025-10-02 12:58:16 UTC

We've found that this service gives us good insight to weather patterns. An iPhone/Android app is also available: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mountain-forecast-com/id6446204098 - and - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mountainforecast&pli=1

Additional tracks for navigating the 'active rest' day and pass crossing.

What you should see ...

info31505 — 2025-10-21 19:04:58 UTC

This is what the KML tracks look like in Organic Maps app. Of course when you are there, you will see a blue dot, which is your current location. Thus you can always navigate back to the trail if you wander off it (which is difficult to do).

These stage profiles will be available in the tea house on the night before the stage.
