Fast packing is the only way to complete the full TMB in a week, rather than the usual 10 days, without trail running it. You fast pack
every step of the TMB, staying in mountain
huts each night of the trek. This week will appeal to fast packers and quick walkers, or even slow runners,
who want to complete the tour in a week. It's
the connoisseurs choice, and will really appeal
to those who believe in the ethics of completing
every inch of the tour, but at a quick pace, so don't underestimate that this is a challenging but rewarding trip.
