The 17-day schedule reaches 4,650 m at Italian Base Camp in 9 walking days from Beni at 830 m, raising AMS risk to 35 to 45 percent for sea level trekkers. The recommended 18 to 20 day itinerary adds acclimatization days at Italian Base Camp and Dhaulagiri Base Camp at 4,750 m, lowering AMS risk to 12 to 18 percent and improving summit pass crossing success.
