The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Worth every rupee.

Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Recommended.

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