Summary: - Poor arrangements. Late lunch at 3pm and had to hike with an empty stomach - The guide blamed an innocent slow hiker for the late lunch - On-pace speed was considered slow. The guide kept pushing and was very aggressive. Felt like a race. Could not enjoy the hike. - Uneven arrangements. Rest at easy parts, and get pushed hard at the difficult parts. - Dinner was ready but wouldn’t be served until 7pm, given that the next day would need to get up at 3am. - Artificially-made tough life situations. Not enough sleep. Food was always ready but held. Always starving. Guide kept pushing. - No time for digestions after meals - Was asked to race to the Sun Gate (the finish line), but there was no point of racing because the weather was not clear and the Sun Gate was not even visible - Sounds like the hike is not for amateur nature lovers
