BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Grades do not transfer between crags
A 5.8 in one place is a 5.10 in another. Ask what the routes actually are rather than what they are graded.
Bring your own shoes if you have them
Rental shoes are sized for durability, not for edging. If you climb at all, yours will make the day better.
Belaying is a licence, not a favour
If you have not been checked out on a belay device, you do not hold the rope. The instructor will.
Rock quality changes after rain
Sandstone in particular is weaker wet and stays weak for a day or two after. Operators move venue for this.

Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would book with them again.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. 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. Would book with them again.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Karnataka done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Worth every rupee.

Reply from The Monsoon Ledger

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

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Worth every rupee.

Questions people ask

No. There are enough easy bolted routes at Badami to learn on, and the guide belays. If you have climbed indoors you will be comfortable within an hour.
