It is about a Trek without notable technical difficulty. in fact, it is necessary to be in a good physical condition and to be able to walk for 5 to 6 hours each day, with a quiet rhythm. There is always a light back bag where you can take the minimum (gourd, food of race, camera...) All the luggage and food are transported by the mules. if a medical problem (distortion for example)is to happen, it is always possible to call upon a mule. However, it should be known that the ground is not flat. That is to say, it is sometimes necessary to go up to climb a pass,and that you will find certain stages a little long... In short, it is certain that you will have physical feelings so it is important to have the desire and the spirit of hiking and walking.
The itinerary indicated will be able to undergo modifications imposed by the mean level of the group, or by the climatic conditions.

A sleeping bag, a large bag for clothing, a small back bag for the day, walking shoes, crates, sandals for the bivouac, Kwe, polar, personal drugs, a gourd (1 litter or 2 litters), pastilles of water purification, sun lotion, a pair of sunglasses, cap, camera, a torch (frontal), spare batteries, toilet bag and other personal effects.
