    Altitude Sickness Symptoms & Prevention

    Altitude sickness is an illness that usually occurs during a high elevation journey if the body did not get acclimatized with the elevation. It can happen to anyone regardless of their age and physical fitness. Therefore it is very important to take proper measures during the trek/climbing to avoid it. We Dream Peak are well-known with this issue and hence are extremely attentive towards all the members.

    Singu Chuli Peak Climbing cost

    Singu Chuli Peak Climbing cost can vary from one company to another. It is because of the services you will get during the trek and climbing.

Regardless, at Dream Peak, we assure you to give the most genuine price and the best service. Get in touch with us to know more about the price of the package.

    Environmental Practices

    The protection and preservation of the environment while running adventurous trips is very important for us. We take many different measures during our journey to the unspoiled Himalayas.
