I did the treck in 2008 – saw 1 small snake – I just stopped and it slithered past – didn't take any notice of me – no problem.

I did the Trek in 2008 with another firm. Had way too many trekkers (27) in the group. By the time you add the porters it was nearly 70 in the group. It was too big. If I went again I would choose a company with smaller groups.I was 51 when I did the trek – had no problems.

I did the trek about 2 years ago & over half the trekkers in the group had Knee problems – mainly from going down the mountains. One of them had to be carried for the last 2 days.

I took two poles with me – they had trekking baskets on teh bottom to stop the poles from sinking into the mud too far. They went well – didn't have any issue with them. My porter made me a carved stick to bring home, but it got cracked in the luggage on the plane. I now have it mounted on my wall.
