Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Recommended.

Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Worth every rupee.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. No hesitation recommending them.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
