Just remember guys, this is not a luxury tour at all. It is filled with adventure. We will hike, walk, climb and do lots of “awara gardi” in beautiful valleys and will crack bad jokes. The tour is perfect for photography enthusiasts who want some unique images in their collection. The above plan is just a plan….when we will actually be on the land, we can modify the plan according to our mutual consent but of course which will not exceed the budget mentioned above. All the valuable suggestions are highly welcome. So there is no hard and fast rule….main purpose is to live the moment, enjoy the photography and each other company and to make new buddies.
