Frequently Asked Questions — May
Yes, May is less technical. Snow on the summit ridge is minimal, making the climb more of a steep scramble than a snow-slope. This makes it ideal for fit trekkers attempting their first Himalayan peak.
The very top (4,700m) typically retains a small snow patch in May. The steep section below is mostly rocky by late May. Crampons are provided but may not be needed depending on conditions.
From Auli (2,519m) to the summit (4,700m), total elevation gain is approximately 2,181m over 5 days — challenging but very manageable with the gradual approach via Gorson Bugyal and Khullara camp.
