The guys were great at setting up this trip for us. And picked a good day for us to go despite it being monsoon season. We got moderately wet on the way up but the weather cleared on arrival at the camp and the sunset was absolutely stunning. Sunrise the next morning was pretty special too. There were 3 guides to our group of 7 which meant everyone could go at their own pace. The hike is hugely popular and there are a lot of people at the campsite so its worth going higher to Snowline or beyond. The number of people at the camp does also mean its pretty muddy during the wet season. Madtrek provided walking poles and ponchos, plus all the camping gear, meals and water for the day so all we needed to take was a change of clothes and a warm jumper for the night. I highly recommend using Madtrek if you want to do this hike and had a been there longer I would have loved to do something with them a little more out in the wilds.
