Expedition Logistics
For anyone undertaking an expedition at any level, logistics should be considered at the very onset of planning. It develops along with all the other aspects of expeditionary planning. Undertaking an expedition specifically in the Himalayas becomes an even bigger task owing to the scarcity of information, bureaucratic hurdles, the remoteness of the actual peaks, hiring of liaison officers, et al. We know that getting to and from wild and remote places, achieving objectives and returning successfully requires robust systems, planning, and a flexible approach.
Expediency The word expedition derives from the Latin expeditus (unimpeded). In its English verb form, expedite, it simply means to process a task in a quick and efficient fashion. At the heart of an expedition is an ethos of expediency—fulfilling the logistics efficiently with as little fuss as possible. Above14000ft has provided exceptional logistical support for the last 25 years - in corners of the Himalayas still viewed only by a chosen few while keeping the core ethos of expediency fully intact.
Utilising skills derived from years of planning, supporting and executing high-level expeditions in the remotest terrains - we aim to support expeditionary travel with solid practical advice, quick online pre-expedition support, a reliable and experienced on-ground team, and a comfortable base camp.
Expedition Logistics are wide ranging. We take care of mountaineering permits, city hotels, transport to the road head, IMF briefings, liaison officers, cooks, porters, base camp guides, and base camp infrastructure. We take seriously the privilege the comes with exploring truly remote parts of the earth. Our staff members are well versed with the practice of Leave No Trace principles on all our trips.
