It is hard to decide on one thing that was the 'most memorable' - We loved the entire trip! What stood out for us was Ngima and Lakpa's unwavering commitment to our entire team having the best experience we could possibly have. We listened to endless stories about the mountains, the place and other travel groups. We had all our curious questions answered. We stayed in nice and comfortable tea houses each night, with great hospitality where our guide was friends with everyone.... (more)Jennifer Ziegner

The Roykans and the scenery were amazing. Beautiful walk.
Tips?
Probably book with another operator. The information on the walk was totally inadequate. If we had not photographed the walk instructions from some people we met who were booked with another company we would have been totally lost on the last day. The major part of the last day walk has no sign posts for Nakasendo Way and we were provided with no map or instructions apart from a couple of lines. We might... (more)Trevor Marriott

Every day was so different, but the first day trekking in Torres del Paine to the base of the towers was a great first day. You really do get 4 seasons in one day,
we had sunshine and snow! Our tour guide Tomas really made the whole trip amazing, his passion for Patagonia and trekking, his knowledge and general
banter (he really doesn't stop talking!) made the trip really memorable. We also had fantastic trekking guides for the 4 days in Torres del Paine.

Tips?
Go now. It's a really good trip. We had a nice group of very different personalities but we worked really well together.

I hate this question! The whole week was wonderful, and when the group was asked which walk they had enjoyed the most, everyone had the same trouble picking one! This was a walking trip geared towards fit experienced mountain walkers (warning for anyone thinking it is easy hiking in these Bulgarian mountains, read the blurb with care!), so the days were hard with steep climbs and long descents. The rewards were huge, amazing views, great biodiversity and a country that values... (more)Olive O

Reaching the summit of Mt Toubkal after leaving the base camp in the dark. By the top the sun was shining, the sky was blue with the snow glistening. The views and sense of achievement made the hard climb well worth it!
