Can you join a guided hike as a solo traveller?

Yes — most guided departures are small mixed groups and solo walkers are the most common booking. Look for trips with a stated minimum group size that has already been met, and check whether hut or hotel nights carry a single supplement.

What to check as a solo booker

The stated fitness level, so the group moves at a pace you will enjoy.

A private guide gives you the route and pace you want at the full day rate. Joining an existing small group splits that cost and is usually the better value, at the price of some flexibility.
