The trip was absolutely incredible! It was filled with unforgettable moments. We went with a private tour because we knew we couldn’t handle the high altitudes, and it was such a smart decision. Our tour guide and driver were total rockstars, providing us with attentive care and hospitality throughout the entire journey. Even when I experienced altitude sickness during the climb, our guide's unwavering enthusiasm and support kept us going.
