I think the attempt to reach the summit of Mont Blanc and in spite not having made it due to bad weather conditions it was still nice to have been to the Dome de Gouter. Other moments were the stunning landscapes. (more)The whole trip was wonderful.

It is an experience and if you like trekking it is absolutely fantastic....would love to do it again. (more)The scenery was majestic - most humbling. The warmth of the local people lifted your spirits during tricky times and the dynamic of the group was awesome... So hard, mentally and physically, but worth every single step.

"Those who have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro know that the porters are the heart and soul of your trek. Without their hard work and strength we would not be able to fully experience the magnificence of Kili. But the truth is porters are often impoverished Tanzanians who depend on this labor-intensive employment in order to feed themselves and their families." Find out how you can ensure better care for porters on Kilimanjaro, thanks to Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project. Take a look at this high altitude trekking article.
