Greetings !

Gladly to announce that entire tour will be led and curated by Mr. Satyarup Siddhanta who holds the guinness book of world record for climbing seven summit and 7 volcanic summit and many more .

Profile : https://satyarupsiddhanta.com/

On a high level - We will have a customised group options and package which includes Kilimanjaro Summit + 3 Days safari . Will ensure that once everyone lands in Tanzania and everything is covered including tips .

" Special Note - FYI - This event is organised with the support from Professional & Experienced Mountaineers and Guinness Book of world record Holders and post finalisation they are going to join us in this expedition. "

Considerations :

Holiday planning ( Can be customised based on Group preference in majority ) :  13 days + Travel + extra buffer days ( optional , if someone wanted to keep it )

• Hiking Days to be considered , 8 nights 9 Days
• 1 Day rest after Summit ( meaning if we arrive in night or in the afternoon in the base , next day will be off for recovery )
• 3 additional days for Safari ( optional but it is recommended to club it in the Holidays ) 

Budget :  ( Estimate) 3000 - 3500 USD ( Includes the Safari cost and other logistics .It doesn't includes your Travel , VISA  , personal and your Insurance cost ) . Exact amount is yet to be finalised , it is currently in negotiating phase with local operator from Tanzania.

 Tour Details - Day wise breakups will be shared centrally in the Mode of Communication

 Fitness Requirements - It is recommended and preferred option to adhere to the fitness requirements mentioned in this event . However , this can be worked upon with the individuals.

 Mode of Communication - WhatsApp Group , Group Meetings through Microsoft Teams , in-person gathering ( I will be available virtually , but we have enough known friends to socialise locally in Munich ).

 Virtual Connect - There would be several sessions with the team , organisers , and myself for end to end orientation so that everyone knows what they are getting into it .

 Sponsors - If anyone in the group wanted to associate with any brand and sponsor the group , that would be great but it is totally up to an individuals.

 IMP Note - Before joining this event , please read the description properly and send me an email first with your interest and willingness to summit Kilimanjaro . I will try my best to respond to your email in 48 hours.

 Kind Regards ( Hakuna Matata ) ,

Your Hiking Buddy
