What to know before booking a Rainbow Mountain Tour
Rainbow Mountain is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so it is important to ensure you choose the best tour operator.
There are many bad tour operators out there who often charge low prices but charge you extra for many things on the day, or often don’t have good safety equipment.
Some tips to ensure you book with a good Rainbow Mountain Tour Operator:
- Check if they have their own website and modern booking system
- Check reviews (google reviews, Tripadvisor)
- Check their social media pages – do they post regularly, have lots of followers
- Send them a WhatsApp message and see how quickly they reply
IMPORTANT: Do NOT book with GetYourGuide or Viator. These are NOT tour operators, but re-sellers who charge 40% commission to local operators and often do not verify the companies they work with.
All of the above will help you decide which operator to book your Rainbow Mountain Tour with, although if you choose any of the top 3 operators mentioned at the start of this article, you will be fine.
What to bring on a Rainbow Mountain Tour:
- Aluminum/reusable water bottle
- Snacks to replenish energy (granola bars, peanuts, chocolate, bananas, etc)
- Comfortable trekking shoes (or sneakers)
- Layers of clothing
- Sunscreen (UV rays are stronger at higher altitudes)
