The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Simple food, well made, and enough of it.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. No hesitation recommending them.

Did this over 3 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived.

Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it.

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. Recommended.

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

Reply from Stonefoot Trails

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.

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