Questions about this trip
This is graded easy. You should be comfortable walking for several hours a day, on rough ground, across 7 Days. Porters carry the main loads; you carry a light daypack. If you tell us your recent hill days we will give you an honest answer.
The reliable window is Late March – mid April. Outside that, conditions on the route make it either unsafe or not worth the money. We can run private departures on any dates inside that window.
4 – 12 people. Smaller and private groups are available and often cost less per head than you would expect — ask us for a quote on your own dates.
Because the honest number depends on group size, dates, hotel standard and how much of the route you cover. We quote one all-in figure for your actual group rather than a headline price that grows later.
