The snowman trek travels to the remote Lunana district and is said to be the most difficult trek in the world. The combination of distance, altitude, remoteness and weather makes this a tough journey. About fifty percent of people who attempt this trek have managed to complete. The failure was either because of altitude sickness or due to unexpected early snowfall. Another obstacle that hampers this trek is the bridge in the remote region that often gets washed away. We suggest that before you sign up for this trek you should have your emergency evacuation insurance.
