Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Recommended.

Svalbard was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable.

Svalbard was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Recommended.
