    The trek was amazing! Because it was just me and one guide, we had some flexibility. Coming back down from base camp I was feeling slower than expected so we added an extra day to my trek. I recommend future trekkers to take extra time going down if you're like me and want to take it easy and see a lot, instead of rush (the itinerary for coming back from base camp doubles the distance some days, which I understand some people need in order to finish their trip in a timely manner). Just make sure there is communication between the guide and porter so if you need to shorten a day, that you have your things too. My guide (Furinji) was excellent, full of information and good advice for helping with acclimation. I highly recommend him as your guide! The acclimation hikes were very helpful on the way up. One other thing, though, it was suggested that I bring a 40L day pack but I think 30L would have been fine since I had a porter. I would definitely do this trek again!
