“The sunrise was spectacular but we found this activity to be quite poorly planned overall. We were picked up from hour hotel at 9:30 pm and driven to the start of the hike, where we met our guide, who spoke no English. We were given a very basic breakfast for the following morning. Despite having asked in advance for vegan food, the only vegan elements were 2 bananas. We were told we should bring our own food. The hike up was smooth until we stopped at around 2600m and waited for two hours in the cold, to avoid reaching the summit way before sunrise. We found this nonsensical as there…”
