my first trekking experience

This was my first trekking experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. The trail was challenging in the best way and the support from the guides was constant and kind. They paid attention to each member of the group and kept things fun, even when the terrain got tough. I finished the trip feeling stronger and incredibly inspired.
