    Be aware this is as stated a full on tour with early morning starts. Also take advice about travelling at high altitude.

    Many thanks for your review, we're glad that you enjoyed the trip. The trip has been created to have a slow acclimatisation profile, but we do also recommend that customers speak to their individual GPs - thanks for the advice!

    The way that altitude was introduced gradually made the transition much easier.
