We booked with G Adventures who were great: 1 team leader plus 2 trail guides, a cook and about 20 support staff - all locals who work very hard. Good Times!

Molto difficile
Facile jusqu'à l'ascension finale, 1200 derniers mètres.
Absolutely. The air becomes so thin it’s difficult to breathe. Congrats on making the trek👏
