The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Would book with them again.

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. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would send friends their way.

Long transfer at both ends that isn't obvious from the listing. Budget a day either side. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.
Reply from Old Mule Routes
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

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. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Good value for what's included.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.
