Can the age limit of 65 be waived. I am 71 and do competitive ocean swims and have also done Kilimanjaro amongst other hikes. If necessary, I can get a letter from my doctor saying I am fit to do the treks. Do we carry all our gear in backpacks or is there animal/porter transport available

We can waived the age limit in your case considering you do sport regular and in good shape for completing this trek. There will be Porter to carry your Bagpack, you only carry your small day pack.

A fantastic trip with Nepal Social Treks. Two of us travelling in the group and we had our own guide (Lhakpa who was excellent) and a porter who looked after us. Spectacular scenery along the way even when the altitude made the last couple of days quite hard! A huge bucket list item done though!
