Hi all,

We are looking for a trek/Hike to do with our two daughters.
we need a good weather on october and a maximum altitude of 3000meters (10000 feet).
In addition a possibility to have a Porter is an advantage. Europe is a good destination but also Asia / US/ Central America is a possibility.

Thanks,

Edited by pardo

Finding a porter in Europe would be difficult and expensive. A better bet would be to hire a donkey. This is quite popular in France and October in the South would be OK. Google "donkey walk france" or see, for example:

There are also baggage carrying services that use vehicles to drop your stuff off at your next stop. For example:

As you have mentioned almost the rest of the world as a possibility in your post, I think that you need to do some weather research to narrow things down a bit!

In Nepal you see babies being and young children carried on the back of porters, that's not unusual. Even much higher than 3000 metres (as long as you acclimatize progressively). Besides October is a good season.
