Are the sections where it is a long way down on stable ground and a decent amount of width on the trail? I'm terribly afraid of heights, but as long as I know I'm on stable ground and there is a minimum of 6 feet of width on the path I'll be fine. Also, can you estimate how long that section is with the long drop?

Hi Katy
The drop-offs on this section are not the worst however there are some sections where there is a long way down!
Unless you have extreme vertigo, I believe you will be able to power through. Most of the guides also have years of experience getting fearful trekkers through any tricky bits. It is so worth it!

I have quite a fear of heights so I don’t want to start the trek and find I can’t continue.
Many thanks
