“All in all the experience was nice, love the trekking to hilly terrain and muddy trek, the guide was also nice. They could actually provide bottle water to each participant at least to anticipate hidration. Thankfully i brought my own. From the beginning we were followed by mong ladies which wasnt part of their trip but yah... It happened. Nothing bad or super negative but they can be chatty.”
