Challenging trekking holidays
This is taking strenuous hiking to new heights. So, you thought summiting Toubkal was tough? Try doing it in winter. Patagonia is out of this world, but trekking across its Ice Cap is another planet. And Kilimanjaro is what it is. These very challenging trekking holidays require serious fitness, stamina and a desire to just keep going for 7-9 hours a day, sometimes for up to 14 days, always under the guidance of expert mountain leaders.
