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

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed.

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

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. No hesitation recommending them.

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. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude.
