Quick intro, and let the journey begin.

tough

This trek is moderately difficult, you need to be somehow fit and be comfortable to walk up between 6 to 8 km a day, for at least 5h every day. I was impressed when I met the youngest boy, French 7-year-old, and the oldest, a 65-year-old Korean woman.

Heavy

Whether you decide to hire a porter or not, I believe you'll be carrying between 5 to 15 kg on your back, that's kind of heavy for anyone who's not used to it.

Dangerous

Every trek has some danger, I would say, you need to be careful and listen to your body, especially if you feel any symptoms of Altitude Sickness.

10 days

Yes, it's possible to do in 10 days, actually 8 days trekking. Would I do it again in 8 days? No.

GUIDE / Porter

We didn't have nor a guide, nor a porter. I missed the guide in some situations, like booking overnights and maybe showing us some hidden places.

Transportation

We arranged the whole transportation thanks to Royal Mountain Travel, which I had collaborated with before, see more details in the previous story, Kathmandu.
