Yeah… I need sometime to review their new rates. It seems that now, one mountain guide can only take 6 climbers maximum, compared to last time 8.

@ Leong:

Good question there… I assume that the porter fee is not included, as it is not stated in the email. Anybody could give better answer?

@ Yeo:

Not sure how much “budget” that you want to save, but so far, no more budget package are provided by SSL. You have to take the package, as far as I know…

Dear Drizad,

Thanks for the useful post.

We shall know how and where we can make the claims if anything incident happened to us during the climb.

Does the insurance cover the porter or bearer charges for carry the patients down from the mount ?

Thanks.
