The hike
The pictures below show the approximate distance in kilometers and the elevation from the starting point to our base camp. We’ll be hiking with our backpacks and full gear, which will be an exciting challenge! The hike will be at a steady pace with a few breaks along the way, ensuring you can enjoy the journey. Please sign up only if you feel confident in your fitness level, as the hike will be challenging but rewarding. This is an unforgettable experience you won’t want to miss. We’ll be there to support each other every step of the way!
Once we reach the base camp, you’ll have the chance to leave the majority of the gear in the tent while we go on our hike to a peak and strategic location to watch for wildlife. Each participant will need to bring and carry their own backpack on these hikes as well, including warm clothing, water to drink and snacks. The daily hikes are not very long, 1 km round trip with an elevation gain of about 40 meters from basecamp.
