Observations
  • This is not an easy technical trekking and it also has some long and great height gain journeys. It’s necessary a very good physical condition and familiarity with walking in rocky terrains to face the trekking with guarantees
  • Accommodation in small hotels, huts with half board service during the trekking. Sleeping sac or sheet for nights spent in hut
  • You cannot reserve huts in advance, you have to do it in the moment you get there, so it’s necessary to bring tents with us, just in case there would not be place in the huts
  • Packed lunch (brought from home or bought in loco)
  • Request detailed documentation and equipment list at Mountain Kingdom
