Do not use this company for this tour
Pick up and drop off not at the hotel as advertised. Complete chaos at the Pawia pick up point, guide doesn’t announce names or tour companies even when you ask and so had to run between different buses with no information and almost missed the bus. The tour was cut short and we were died through both camps with little consideration for people who could not walk/run at thst died. It felt dusted also to the environment

Driver was super friendly & outgoing and our guide was super informative and knowledgable. The length of the visit was just right. The whole experience is definitely something everybody should do at least once.
