I gave 5-stars to support our guide who was amazing and extremely accommodating. That being said, I do not feel that this tour was listed accurately as a beginner tour with the expectation of climbing up multiple mountains and over three hours of ascent. That being said there were Nepali elderly and children on our trek so I understand why there might have been confusion. This tour, coming from someone who is newer to hiking and lives at sea-level, was advanced and as such, we had to end our trip a full day early as we physically could not proceed further in a reasonably safe manner. Our guide was extremely helpful in helping us return to Pokhara due to these limitations a day ahead of schedule.
