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.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Rooms were basic in the best way — dry, warm, and right where we needed them. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would book with them again.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Recommended.

Questions people ask

Bhutan charges a per-person per-night fee on top of all trip costs — currently USD 100 a night for most nationalities, with a lower rate for Indian passport holders. It is included here and it is a large part of why Bhutan costs what it does.
