Enjoyable

Nice and enjoyable trek but a bit challenging. The views are stunning up the way. Karen is an excellent coordinator. She made this so smooth that we don`t have words to praise her. The trip went just as it was mentioned in the itinerary. The pickup was on time from thehotel we stayed. The guide was equipped with first aid and oxygen cans. The guide spoke fluent English and was very friendly and joyful.Our vegan meal request was fulfilled too. Highly recommended. Kudos to Karen!
