NOTE:
-----
1) The above schedule & budget is not final. Depending on the
response, we will adjust the itinerary & budget accordingly.
2) This trip is NOT a simple trek in Macritchie. You really need to
be fit and able to carry uphill & downhill at least 30kg of weight
in your backpack. You must also be prepared to sleep (or rather not
sleep) in a wet tent, in case it rains at nite.
3) We need team players & not individualistic Indian chiefs.
4) This is not a package tour so everything will be a DIY and do-
everything-together event.
5) For those really interested, please drop me an email & I'll get
back to you again. It will be on a first-cum-first-slurp basis. In
case you dont know my email, it's
