    • Paramount JourneyOperatorWritten June 2022

      TravelerWritten June 2022

      Would a flight to you on 26 May 2023 work? At the moment there are two of us, but this may increase. Can you advise of price please?

    • Paramount JourneyOperatorWritten June 2022

      If it is possible i would suggest to shift the date to June then there be a higher chance that mountain passes in Fann are open. At the moment the tour is listed with ~ 2550 USD, but i can give you 10% discount for the early bird reservations and more discounts if there will be more participants from your group.
