Rose
Asked on August 16th, 2024I'm interested in this trip but not sure I can do some of the long hikes (like 6.7 miles). How do you deal with that? Would I be able to turn around on my own? Is there a support vehicle?
Explore!Operator•Written August 2024Regarding the walks - it is unlikely that the tour leader would want you to turn round on your own in the middle of a walk. It is better to discuss the walk with the tour leader prior to setting off to assess if you are able to make the walk. On some days when staying in the same hotel for a few days, you can decide to opt out of the walk and stay around the hotel if you think it would be too demanding. When we move from hotel to hotel there will be a support vehicle transferring the luggage - so on those days if you didn't want to walk you could go with the transfer vehicle.

Asked on December 13th, 2023Are there any areas of exposed hiking. I have difficulty with heights.
- Explore!Operator•Written December 2023
Walks are over 5 days for between 3 to 7 hours per day. Most walks are on well-defined footpaths, mountain trails and some dirt tracks. Walks are mainly along mountain trails, there will be some scree, rocky sections and steep climbs. Fit hikers will find the walks a satisfying day out, while less-fit hikers will find them challenging but manageable. This trip is appropriate for seasoned and first-time hikers who enjoy walking, have a good level of fitness and a good balance. It is not suitable for those with recurring hip or knee problems or those unstable on their feet. The maximum walking altitude for this tour is 1800 metres.

Asked on April 29th, 2023I'm interested in this trip and I'm wondering if it would be okay for me to arrive one day early and meet up with the group at the hotel when the tour starts? If yes, what is the name of the hotel that we will stay in the first night?
- Explore!Operator•Written May 2023
We can indeed arrange extra nights pre/post tour for you.
