Reply to comment by gustav316 in TIL Porters bringing tourists up 5,895m high Mt Kilimanjaro experience health issues caused by high altitude sickness. Their wages are fixed at $10 a day (some paid $6), while carrying 20 kilograms of baggage and camping gearing on the head by Ok_Copy5217

Similar to ours when we ran the Inca trail. Legally they had to have full provisions for the 4 day trek. But it was a single day race barring injury or illness. And they also had to do it in a single day fully loaded. Although they started a camp ahead and two hours earlier...effing wow. Had a huge party in AG afterwards and we tipped a lot
