The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Solid operator.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would send friends their way.

Uttarakhand in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. No hesitation recommending them.

Uttarakhand in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Worth every rupee.
