The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would book with them again.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Would book with them again.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would send friends their way.

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