Rivel, Jul 2024

Pros: -Karen, the tour provider, was fantastic and very responsive with chats. -Sandro, the tour guide, was amazing and really made the trip enjoyable. - On time pick up OK/Average: -The breakfast and lunch were alright, but drinks were not included. -Humantay Lake was alright. If you've been to Banff National Park, Banff is probably better. Cons/Can be improved: - If you have motion sickness, probably consider not taking this tour. The road is very narrow and has a lot of turns. - It's a bit long to get there. - There's a lot of horse manure on the hiking track, so be careful. - Altitude sickness: Please be aware and bring your oxygen. - Drop off isn't in the hotel. Instead, in the city hall.

Rewarding, difficult hike. Totally worth it.

Christian our guide was great!! Super happy we chose to do this instead of rainbow mountain! Hike itself was tougher than expected because of the high altitude, especially on the last portion which was about 65 degrees incline. Total hike about 4 hours round trip, coming back down was relatively easy. The view once you get to the top is amazing and rewarding. Keep in mind there is a chance fog could damper the view significantly so try to plan around the weather if possible but it’s unpredictable. Also, the reservation told us 9AM pickup at our hotel but we got a text at 2AM to prepare for a 4AM pickup which thankfully woke us up in time. So confirm with them in WhatsApp prior. Overall, totally recommend this tour!!
