BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Check the altitude before you book the flight
Leh is at 3,500 m and you arrive there by aeroplane in an hour from sea level, which is the fastest ascent most people will ever make. Two full days doing nothing on arrival is the standard advice and it is not optional because you are on holiday rather than a trek.
A holiday itinerary still has hard days in it
Pass crossings by road, long transfers and early starts are normal on these trips. Read the day plan rather than the brochure photograph.
Ask what the group size actually is
A group holiday is priced on filling a coach. It is a fair question and the answer changes the trip completely.
The places you pass through are lived in
Ask before photographing people and houses, take your shoes off where others do, and buy locally where you can. A holiday moves through more communities in a week than a trek does.

Arunachal Pradesh done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. No hesitation recommending them.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found.

Arunachal Pradesh done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.

Arunachal Pradesh done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Simple food, well made, and enough of it.

Questions people ask

Yes to Tawang with a Protected Area Permit — which needs a group of at least two and more lead time — but not to Bum La, which is closed to foreign passport holders entirely.
