Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. No hesitation recommending them.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Solid operator.

Long transfer at both ends that isn't obvious from the listing. Budget a day either side. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Solid operator.
