I know, I guess what I'm really looking for is a semi-sagged tour w/o all the luxury and expense. The hut-to-hut tour was an ideal set up. 2 panniers for clothes, toiletries and a sleeping bag liner were all we needed. We cooked our own food, were on our own for navigation, were on our own for repairs etc. They provided water, unprepared food, cooking gear and a hut.
