Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would send friends their way.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Recommended.

Uttarakhand done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Worth every rupee.
