"It was excellent, thanks. All transfers worked as expected and accommodation was perfect. The weather you booked us was mostly good too! It's a shame we were only in the area for a couple of weeks. We'll have to return! Thanks again for all your help in organising and booking the different legs."
 Regards,   Andy
  • The program may be booked any day of the week and it operates from Oct. 1-April 30.
  • It can be requested on private basis, so that the clients do the trekking circuit with a guide and porters (to carry their backpacks), but this alternative is quoted on request.
  • The Regular option does not require a minimum of people to operate, although the regular transportation and navigation services operate with a minimum of 2 people, but during high season there's always more people using the regular services in the Park.
  • The trails are well marked and are monitored by park rangers and of course local guides who may be doing the trekking as full day tours with some clients.
