All questions
  • G

    George

    Asked on August 14th, 2025

    Is there much walking? I'm a little disabled when it comes to walking for a long time and any challenging terrain?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Sondax TravelOperator•Written August 2025

      Over the course of the 10-day itinerary, the total walking distance is approximately 6–6.5 km in total. However, I can arrange adjustments to reduce this to about 4–4.5 km without any change in tour price. On days involving walking, options include elevator access, motorbike alternatives, and opportunities to skip walking segments.
