Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Good value for what's included.

Long transfer at both ends that isn't obvious from the listing. Budget a day either side. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.
