The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Solid operator.

Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard.

Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Worth every rupee.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Good value for what's included.
