Did this over 9 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Worth every rupee.

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. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Solid operator.

Did this over 9 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. No hesitation recommending them.

Tasmania in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Solid operator.
