Does the luggage get transferred?..as I would not be able to carry it .. even if it is 35 lbs

Your luggage will be transferred between your accommodation each day, meaning you'll only have to carry a day pack, and your luggage will be waiting at your hotel. We strongly recommend keeping the weight between 15kg / 33lb. Most travellers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly.
