Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Simple food, well made, and enough of it.

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

Julian Alps in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Solid operator.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Would book with them again.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Good value for what's included.
