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.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Would send friends their way.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would send friends their way.

Well paced over 10 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Worth every rupee.

Eastern Himalaya done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Good value for what's included.

Questions people ask

Bhutan charges a Sustainable Development Fee per person per night on top of all costs, and requires every visitor to travel with a licensed guide, driver and pre-arranged itinerary. Four nights in Bhutan cost more than six in Nepal.
