The tour was great.I was able to hike and see the different kinds of landscape. The guide is knowledgeable with the area and they are taking me to some beautiful spots of the destination itself and show me around where to get the best view. I came in a not so good weather condition, knowing the unusual terrain it becomes doubly hard to navigate those rough roads with frozen ice but the driver's skills is very good and it made one of those memorable adventure.
