The company's communication was amazing! The tour guide on the bus was really funny! The tour guides on the hike were lovely and super understanding and supportive. At about 3km I realised I would not make it to the top due to a medical condition, so I discussed it with a Guide and agreed a camel would be a good choice. It cost me 650 EP for the journey, best camel I have ever ridden. I arrived to the 750 steps early due to the camel, which ment i could take my time. Again the guides were super lovely and supportive. After about an hour and a half at the summet, we started the descent. The descent was alot easier and I was able to do it without a camel. When we got back to the monastery, I was too tired to go in, I just sat outside with a few others. Although the ones that went in were rushed so we would make it to the bus intime for the police to escort the buses back to sharlm.
Whole journey was very well organised, from start till the end, all transportations were comfortable starting with little bus we were transported to the big bus, I have to say that tour guidies were very professinal and full of knowledge, they were very precise about everthing. Hiking was really exhausting but worth of it! All in all, I would recommend anyone OcesnAir Travel for this trip!
