Hello,
We are two families; each is 2 parents and 3 children. We are traveling to the Kacker area on 8-22 August. We would like to do some trekking for 3-4 days. We are looking for some really easy trek; I guess it should be no more than 4 hours of walking per day. Is there something that you can offer? If there is an option to join us a monkey that can help with the youngest children, this is an option for us.
We’ll be happy to get some quotation from you.
Thanks a lot and have a nice summer,
Gadi.
