BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Check the altitude before you book the flight
Leh is at 3,500 m and you arrive there by aeroplane in an hour from sea level, which is the fastest ascent most people will ever make. Two full days doing nothing on arrival is the standard advice and it is not optional because you are on holiday rather than a trek.
A holiday itinerary still has hard days in it
Pass crossings by road, long transfers and early starts are normal on these trips. Read the day plan rather than the brochure photograph.
Ask what the group size actually is
A group holiday is priced on filling a coach. It is a fair question and the answer changes the trip completely.
The places you pass through are lived in
Ask before photographing people and houses, take your shoes off where others do, and buy locally where you can. A holiday moves through more communities in a week than a trek does.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Worth every rupee.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Rooms were basic in the best way — dry, warm, and right where we needed them. Worth every rupee.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.

Reply from Cypress & Stone

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Recommended.

Bohemia to the Danube done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy.

Questions people ask

One. Czechia, Austria and Hungary are all in Schengen, so a single visa covers the whole route. Apply at the consulate of the country you spend the most nights in — here that is Czechia or Austria depending on the departure.
