What to Expect

This itinerary is a combination of cultural touring and active expedition. Each day will include a lot of walking over un-even surfaces in the towns that are visited. 


Accommodations throughout the region are not high-end, but are locally run guest houses and home-stays. We work with the local operators to ensure clean accommodations, but not all locations offer full amenities. 


The hiking and multi-day trekking portions of this itinerary are moderate to difficult. They do not require any technical skills but the altitude in the region is high. Destinations average between 2800m  and 4200m above sea level (9200ft - 13,800ft).
