Afoot specialises in designing treks in conjunction with each party and accordingly the trips above are suggestions only and a number of alternatives are available. Do call us to discuss any plans you may have or just to design a trip as you wish. Endless opportunities exist in these areas.

 

If you unsure of your fitness levels treks can easily be planned with alternative routes . In fact, due to unforeseen weather, often best-laid plans need to be altered anyway!
