It was my first multi-day through hike ever, and I was extremely fortunate that I chose Cairn Trekking’s 7-day TMB, and more importantly, I was more than grateful for our guide, Matthieu, who taught me many trekking techniques that helped me pull through the journey. He also led us to hike a few unusual variations, which, if unguided, were impossible for me to even know. The mule also was a big blessing to help me finish the trip, as I did have to carry some extra things due to special health issues. Although Cairn was pretty unknown in the US and I took a leap of faith when I booked the TMB trip a few months ago, I was so happy that I met many wonderful people, who showed me a totally new experience. Oh BTW, I found that the trip cost I paid directly to Cairn, was much lower than what I would have paid if I booked essentially the identical trip that was offered by another tour company but was actually led by Cairn (as the outsourced tour provider).
