HOW IT WORKS:
Upon purchase, schedule your consultation based on a time convenient to you/your hiking group.
You will be sent a Google Meet invite for you/your hiking buddies to join the video call.
During the call, we will use our planning platform to visualise the trail and answer your questions.
After the call, you can access the recording for your future reference.
30 Min Q&A
Schedule a quick chat to discuss questions such as choosing between different routes, specific accommodation availability challenges, what to pack, early season conditions, how to get to/from the trail, etc.
60 Min deep dive
Schedule a detailed discussion to review your planned itinerary, including route, transport (if any) and accommodation, or discuss which trail is right for you/your group. Session can be recorded upon request.
Note: We only design custom itineraries in our “Expert Access” packages, not in our general consults.
