I couldn't have organized a trip like this myself. Usually I was someone who organized the logistics for her own travel but using G Adventures meant that I didn't have to worry about booking hostels or figuring out public transportation. It was easy, our CEO was great and the other people on the tour were kind and fun.

Our tour leader Radvan Moldovan was well organised, thorough, considerate and humorous. He provided an interesting and well-informed background to the area and the culture. The guest house and hut staff were also very helpful and the accommodation was good. The first two days of the walk provided a warm up to days 3 and 4 which were challenging, but satisfying, for me. The ridge walk was somewhat strenuous but absolutely spectacular- making all the other efforts more than worthwhile. I can thoroughly recommend this trip for anyone who is physically fairly fit and without knee or ankle problems (there is a lot of steep downhill). I had not used walking poles before but found them very helpful on this trip.

This was a tough but thoroughly enjoyable trip in a very beautiful part of the world. The challenging grade is about right; be prepared for a lot of rocky steep ascent and descent including a fair amount of scrambling and using fixed cables/chains. Some parts (particularly the ascent to La Om on Day 4 and the ridge along the top) are pretty exposed. There is a good mix of tougher and somewhat easier days to break things up with some nice forest and meadow sections. The reward is some amazing scenery in a relatively unspoilt part of the world. The whole trip was very well organised and accommodation at Villa Hermani was very clean and comfortable, with friendly hosts and great food. The mountain huts were a good experience but be prepared for very basic toilet and sanitary facilities.
