The guide's read on altitude and pace was spot on — never felt pushed too hard, but still a genuine workout.
A 3-hour trek through the surrounding hills, with pace and route calibrated to the group's altitude acclimatization.
Rather than a fixed route, the lodge's guides adjust distance and elevation gain daily based on how the current group is acclimatizing, prioritizing safety over covering set ground.
A guided hike with regular acclimatization checks, moving at a pace suited to the slowest member of the group.
Guests with moderate fitness comfortable with several hours of walking at altitude.
