Overall, a fascinating and wonderful trip which will last long in the memory. i was also fortunate enough to be in a very good group of people with excellent, patient and knowledgeable guides which made the trip. People thinking about doing this trip should do it, but need to be aware that it is a very difficult trip not ust because of the hiking which is hard but they also need to be able to cope with a combination of basic accommodation, poor food and non existent hygiene combined with altitude problems. if you can overcome the abov challenges then you will enjoy a great trip with a good company who were very organised tthroughout
