Trekking Peaks/Expedition Mountaineering
Trekking Peaks are just that - peaks that are achievable by trekkers who are not professional mountaineers.

Fit trekkers with guidance from Sunstone can be part of a mountaineering expedition enabling you to experience the euphoric buzz of summiting a 6000m peak in the Himalayas.
Be under no illusion, this is high altitude mountaineering and only the fit, healthy and acclimatised will succeed in their summit goals.
In saying that, those who are fit, keen and enthusiastic trekkers who want to step up a level and have the drive to push the boundaries may certainly do so with the strong guidance and training that is included in your Sunstone adventure package.
It is advised to practice with crampons and axe before a ‘trekking peak’
expedition, but full guidance and training is given prior to an ascent at Base Camp ensuring a safe, successful expedition.
