Guest feedbacks / testimonials : -
The views along the way are breathtaking and the unusual encounters are memorable. Through talking to the other trekkers on my way up, I realized that my package is one of the better one, Ammar is very committed to make sure we're happy with the trip, he let you interview and change the guide (I heard with the other agents, you'll need to pay extra if you want to change guide) and readily compensate for the part that you're less satisfied with, I'm impressed with the service provided by him.
Highly recommended !
