The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. The village nights were the part I'd tell people about. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Good value for what's included.

Uttarakhand in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The village nights were the part I'd tell people about.

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

Did this over 5 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Simple rooms, but the hosts could not have been kinder. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Good value for what's included.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.
