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 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Would send friends their way.

Muscat & the Hajar done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Would send friends their way.

Muscat & the Hajar done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. No hesitation recommending them.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Muscat & the Hajar done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Worth every rupee.

Questions people ask

Nesting happens every night of the year at Ras al Jinz, though numbers peak from June to September. Visits are guided and capped and there is no flash photography — those rules exist because the lights disorient hatchlings.
