Important Note

This tour has an expedition character which requires a great sense of adventure. You only have to carry a daypack on the trek which should contain a warm jacket and rain coat since weather can change quickly in the mountains. You will need walking poles and a torch since most of the time while we camp we will have no electricity. On the trek we prepare the meals ourselves. Our porters and assistant will buy food along the way and carry it for us. For lunch we will cook with a small gas stove or whenever possible use facilities in the villages. In some places you will get the opportunity for a shower. Otherwise we can also heat up a bucket of water for some rough washing. Be prepared to improvise and lack of comfort. This will be a real adventure!
