What to expect
Expect a proper hill walk—not a casual stroll. The pace is steady and the terrain demands decent leg fitness and cardiovascular health. Summer hikes (July–August) don't run. Spring and autumn see variable weather; winter months bring rain and cold requiring layered gear. Summer days stay around 22–26°C, perfect for a t-shirt, though long sleeves protect from sun. Guides will check your footwear before departure—proper trekking shoes with grip are mandatory. Weather can shift plans; routes may change or reschedule if conditions turn unsafe.
Good to know
Minimum age 8 years. Bring proper trekking shoes—guides inspect them. April–September needs light layers; October–March requires waterproof jackets and warm clothing. Summer tours pause July–August. Lunch may swap to a packed option depending on logistics that week.
