In July we passed two groups coming the other way each with more than 100 in it: 3 porters for every trekker and way over the top.

No wonder people get pissed off when 100 people trample through their village in a few hours.

We got pissed off too, as groups that large need more than one campsite most nights.

We estimated that there would now be 1000+ trekkers on the track every day in the dry season moving north and south.
