Children from age 6 are welcome; a moderate level of fitness is needed.Is it for me?Book this trek if you have a weekend free and want to climb to a real mountain peak without taking time off work—the 2-day frame and the return to your starting point mean you leave Friday evening and are back by Sunday evening. The moderate fitness requirement and the full-day hike on day two make this suited to someone who hikes regularly, not a casual stroll; if you prefer shorter days or easier terrain, look for a different trek in the region.Free cancellationKids −15%fromUS$ 64View ›
