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

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. No hesitation recommending them.
