Maharashtra was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. No hesitation recommending them.

Maharashtra was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Solid operator.
