Überblick
Ras Dashen Expedition (7 Days)
A slower Ras Dashen summit product versus the 5–6 day Challenge, designed around acclimatisation, deliberate pacing, extra mountain time and weather flexibility. The additional day/night supports better recovery before or after the summit attempt and allows contingency for high-altitude conditions. Suitable for fit travellers who prefer not to rush the Ambiko approach.
