Having a personal Sherpa and additional oxygen is one of our most popular add-ons for its benefits and cost-effectiveness. It adds a level of safety and improves summit success.

One of our Sherpas will climb with you on each rotation throughout the entire expedition. Above Base Camp, they will help you stay safe, check your technical rigging, set a pace, save you precious energy by carrying most of your personal gear, and offer feedback about the climb. Having an attentive Sherpa in your corner can be invaluable on a peak like Manaslu, especially if this is your first time above 8000m.

Expedition Leader Mike Hamill and Sirdar Tendi Sherpa hand-pick our climbing Sherpa, who are the best in the business. They are all knowledgeable, kind, strong, experienced, respectful, and very proficient.

Combine this with extra oxygen, and you will not only be safer but also climb stronger, stay warmer, and mitigate your chances of frostbite. Running a higher oxygen flow rate at these extreme altitudes is highly beneficial and can be considered an added level of safety.
