“Jeg havde en virkelig god oplevelse med denne aktivitet. Pga. antallet af dage, var det med meget passende distancer hver dag. Distancer og terræn varierede nærmest fra dag til dag, hvilket jeg synes var positivt. Vi gik mellem 3-6 timer om dagen, men dette er også fleksibelt, alt efter hvordan kroppen har det. Jeg var meget tryg ved min guide. Han havde fuldkommen styr på overnatning i guesthouses, ruterne og var tilpas opmærksom på hvordan du havde det. Samtidig var han også god til hver dag at give information om planen for næste dag. Bikram var virkelig sød og behagelig at have som guide.”
