Did this over 7 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Would send friends their way.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day.

Reply from Sleeper Class Co.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would book with them again.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Worth every rupee.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived.
