    • Go BeyondOperatorWritten January 2025

      This is a group tour with a minimum of 2 participants. If there are no other bookings for your preferred date, the tour may be canceled. Currently, we do not have any bookings for April 15th, but the April 19th trek already has 5 participants. I would recommend choosing the 19th to ensure the tour runs, and you'll have the chance to meet and enjoy the experience with other travelers.
