How is the trip to the mountains
At the appointed time (usually in the morning) the whole group gathers at the foot of the mountain. At the camp, they will have breakfast and a meeting with the guide. Then the whole group goes along the route in an organized manner and arrives at a predetermined collection point. If the tour is two days or longer, this agreed point will be a campground where an overnight stay will be organized.
