Did this over 7 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. No hesitation recommending them.

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. Solid operator.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Recommended.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Good value for what's included.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day.

Uttarakhand & Himachal in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water.

Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard.
