I can't find any reference to them on the Bales website. Having done the Salkantay Lodge to Lodge Trek last year, we are very keen to do something similar. Many thanks, Sally Hi Paul,

You have my email so could you send me a quote based on the above departing October 2010. Excited now...

With flying time and days both ends in Kathmandu you should allow around 18/19 days for the trip. In terms of how hard it is, hard to say really as don't know your fitness levels but you reach lower altitudes on this trek as Kili is trekking higher. In terms of the paths they are fairly straight forward and not too demanding. The best time for this is October to December when it is slightly cooler but this means less cloud cover and great views. Best regards Paul Dear Mr Easton,

How much more (other than the obvious altitude difference) demanding is this in comparison to Kili which I did this year?
