Is it worth it? Or are there more worthy peaks you would do in the Himalaya? Since it would be something I would like to do with the wife, it couldn't be too exposed or technical. This seems like an easy trekking peak?
Thoughts?

Most companies count about 24 days. Can it be done quicker? I was thinking maybe 10-12 days since I don't really need to acclimate much up to 15k orso.

10-12 days for a 7000er, are you Nepalese or something. All I can say is that cutting corners isnt the way to approach this type of climb.

If you can get a group discount somewhere, I might be up for it. Been googling it a bit and it sounds really nice. I'll need a LOT more time - but hey, I got that :p

Given the high price, I might be pushed back to the Andes or Aconcagua instead but we'll see...

The basic package on summitclimb.com is much cheaper than the $9-10k you mentioned but it's unguided.
