The trek itself was well organised and led by my great guide Smile! He gave us great information about the local area as well as making sure we were safe and comfortable at all times, regularly taking breaks and making use of good photo opportunities. The food throughout was great and accommodation was more than adequate - we even had private rooms. The entire organisation of the activity and the trek itself was great ☺️”
