Custom Departures · Year-Round

PRIVATE CLIMBS.

Your dates. Your route. Your people. The same WFR-certified guides and KPAP-compliant crew you'd meet on a group climb — built around the trip you're actually trying to take.

01 · What a private climb is

SAME CREW.
YOUR TRIP.

A private Peak Planet climb is the same mountain, the same guides, the same porter wages and safety protocol as our group departures. The difference is everything else: who you climb with, when you go, how fast you move, and how the trip is shaped around the reason you're going.

We run roughly 40 private departures a year — honeymoons, charity teams, parent-and-kid trips, milestone birthdays, corporate leadership treks. About a third of our climbers go private. The rest join a group date that works for them.

02 · Private vs Group, side by side

WHAT'S THE
DIFFERENCE?

Ten lines, no marketing. The mountain, the medical kit, ethical porter wages. The calendar, the manifest, and the mess tent are yours.

THE REASON.

04 · Private pricing

SCALES WITH
YOUR PARTY.

Private pricing starts higher than group per climber but drops as your party grows. A party of four on a private trek is around the same price as joining a group trek, with none of the manifest uncertainty.

Charity & corporate

Branded kit, media days, dates tied to fundraising galas or leadership offsites.

Milestone birthdays

Reaching the summit on your 40th. The perfect planning to line it all up for a summit on the right day.
