    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2022

      Our tours are set itineraries. However, we do make sure that we present optional, or additional activities. On the 10th day of the tour you've selected, there is the option of trekking the Rainbow Mountain. That way, you wouldn't miss out on anything. To adjust the itinerary, it would involve having to reach out to our Tailor Made team. However, they do require a minimum of 4 travelers, and 12 weeks of advanced notice to make arrangements and to quote any updated pricing. The choice to miss days on a set tour does not reduce the cost of the trip. This particular trip has a maximum of 16 travelers, with all accommodations included. Additionally, there are 14 breakfasts, 7 lunches, and 6 dinners included.
