Long transfer at both ends that isn't obvious from the listing. Budget a day either side. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Recommended.
