We were picked up at 430 am in a big bus (all the other tours we did we were picked up in a van fitting less than a dozen passengers). Because of the higher number of passengers, we made a lot more stops to pick up in the morning and continued to pick up other travelers for another 2-2.5 hours. We then traveled for about 3 hours and had breakfast consisting of bread and jam ( I wish we could have skipped and kept going) and then drove for another hour. The hike itself is grueling but obviously the tour company doesn’t have control over this. However, once we got back to the bus after our hike, we had to wait for another 2 hours for everyone to come back and then drive another 5 hours (stopping for lunch at the same place as breakfast). I would recommend going with another company and ensuring that it’s a small group so you don’t have to go through the same pain of picking people up for 2 hours and then waiting for everyone to get back to the bus for another 2 hours
Not every ones cup of tea. Road is very dangerous with possibility of landslides. Had couple people pass out due to lack of oxygen @ 5000 m altitude. Once you are there its heavenly!
