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.

Indochina done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Solid operator.

Indochina done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would send friends their way.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.

Well paced over 9 days with enough free time to not feel herded. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Good value for what's included.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found.

Questions people ask

Two. Vietnam and Cambodia each require their own e-visa, applied for separately before travel. Neither is difficult, but both take a few working days and the Cambodian one is checked on arrival at Siem Reap.
