Overall the 3 day hike was a good experience. The landscapes were most beautiful on the first day, afterswards it was a little monotonous especially because on the last day we just walked the same route back because there was some problem with the other path.
The food was really amazing, freshly prepared and delicious.
We expected to stay in a shared dormitory so having our own room and bathroom was amazing.
Our guide Mustafa was really caring and tried to meet our needs. However after our group became smaller on the second day he walked a little too fast for me and did not take enough water breaks. Also he could be a little pushy, he insisted I wasn't smiling enough and asked if I was happy at least 15 times a day (I just had a neutral face because hiking can be exhausting).
Mustafa always timed the walks perfectly, we always arrived right before it started raining. He was always open for us to awnser our questions, taught us about the different vallies and even played cards with us. We are happy to have done this hike and get a feel of life in the valley that would have not been possible from a day trip.
