Note

This ski touring trip itinerary in India is an example of how the trip might unfold. Weather and snow conditions, as well as the participants' skill level, may lead the guide to modify the itinerary or to reorder certain routes. We ask that you respect their decisions. We may also need to change accommodations, within the same category, due to logistical reasons or availability.

In the event of changes to the "Customs and Practices" established by local guide companies, which determine the reasonable number of clients per guide to ensure your safety, we will respect these changes, even if they occur after the trips have gone on sale. Such cases are rare and often linked to exceptional mountain conditions, and compensation may be requested if the number of participants per guide decreases.

Practical information

Specific formalities

Specifics

Before your departure, check with the embassy or consulate regarding the entry and stay requirements for your destination country. You can also find this information on the France Diplomatie website ( https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-pays/ ).

In the case of flights with stopovers operated by different airlines, also check the entry requirements of the countries you are transiting through.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in compliance, particularly regarding the validity of your identity documents (

For example, some countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return date. Consider visa requirements, necessary vaccinations, and health recommendations. And don't forget to take into account any customs restrictions and other potential requirements of your destination or transit country.

ℹ️ Information may change up to the departure date, remember to regularly check official websites.

⚠️ For this trip, you will need to provide a photocopy of: - your passport (valid for 6 months after your return date for French, Belgian, and Swiss citizens) - your Indian visa.

Equipment

Equipment to bring

  • Touring skis equipped with touring bindings, climbing skins and crampons, poles, and crampons. All in excellent condition. We recommend freeride-style skis to fully enjoy the descents in all snow conditions and powder.
  • Ski touring boots.
  • Backpack: capacity 35/40L.
  • Avalanche transceiver (DVA): If you own an avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe, please let us know when you register. If you don't have any of these, we will lend you one free of charge.
  • Padded ski bag for air travel.
  • Ski helmet strongly recommended.
  • Crampons, ice axe, harness.

Clothing to bring

This equipment list includes a series of recommendations, but it doesn't require you to have the latest gear. If you'd like to upgrade or supplement your equipment, take advantage of our advice to find suitable, lightweight, warm, and comfortable gear. Good equipment contributes to a successful trip!


For the head

  • Warm hat or headband / Neck warmer or Buff
  • Ski goggles and sunglasses with UV4 protection lenses. The photochromic lenses adapt to the light and vary from category 2 to category 4 to optimize visibility in both shade and sunlight. Very practical.

For the body

  • Technical underwear: long-sleeved top and tights for added warmth under the pants.
  • Lightweight fleece jacket / Synthetic down jacket with hood to slip under the Gore Tex and provide extra warmth during breaks / Jacket with waterproof and breathable membrane such as Gore Tex or soft shell, lightweight and compressible to reduce bulk in the backpack.
  • Trousers with a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex type membrane. Models with leg vents are recommended for uphill sections.
  • Lightweight gloves (fleece or softshell) / Warm gloves with a waterproof and breathable membrane like Gore-Tex / Silk liner gloves. Mittens are a good solution for very cold days or for people sensitive to the cold.
  • Swimsuit, it takes up so little space in your luggage that it would be a shame not to have it in case of need! Avoid shorts, as they are not often accepted in swimming pools and baths.


For the feet
  • Ski socks.
  • Slippers are recommended for the evening. Dare to wear traditional French slippers, they're so comfortable!

Tip : Merino wool has the advantage of being very breathable and antibacterial, so it retains less odor than synthetic materials.
