The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Sikkim & Darjeeling in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would send friends their way.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it.
