“The same Himalayan routes in dorm tents and shared transport”
The budget half of the same market. Dorm tents, shared jeeps and no porters unless you hire one — and the same leaders on the hill.
Did this over 4 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Recommended.
Did this over 4 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Would book with them again.
The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.
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. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Solid operator.
Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up.
Long transfer at both ends that isn't obvious from the listing. Budget a day either side. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Himachal Pradesh in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Worth every rupee.

A Swiss diplomat said something to that effect in 1992 and the tourism board has never let it go. It is a small saucer meadow ringed by deodar with a lake silting up in the middle — pleasant, and busy with day-trippers by eleven. Kalatop is the better morning.
