    The tour was fantastic. Guides could have had a pre-talk before the walk as if was very hot trying to walk & talk in the heat.

    Loved the trek and this cuiltural experioence. We didn't see any other tourists when we were trekking, nor staying in the villages we stayed in. Our guide was great, and I loved how they spread our dollars across the villages we went to, employing a guide, and getting food from various sources so that the whole village benefitted. The accomodation was primitive, but comfy and it was wonderful to be so close to village life. The only concern I had was that I trekked in April, not realising how this was the hottest month, and so found the heat taxing on the longest trek day. Definitely recommended.

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • I have not been in a group tour, do you think it's a good idea to have this trip?

      We recognise that many of the travellers have not been on a ‘group trip’ before. You can rest assured that the trips are flexible and allow you to do your thing within the framework of the itinerary. The tour operator won't attempt to instill a ‘group ethos’ and fully recognise your needs as an individual.

    • What is the group size on each tour?

      The maximum group size on most trips is 16 – an ideal size to ensure minimum impact travel to the areas in which the tour operator operates.

    • Is the single supplement a compulsory thing on this tour?

      There is a single supplement for this tour for an additional cost and is not compulsory on this tour. Should you choose to share accommodation you will be paired with another traveller of the same sex.
