BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Check the altitude before you book the flight
Leh is at 3,500 m and you arrive there by aeroplane in an hour from sea level, which is the fastest ascent most people will ever make. Two full days doing nothing on arrival is the standard advice and it is not optional because you are on holiday rather than a trek.
A holiday itinerary still has hard days in it
Pass crossings by road, long transfers and early starts are normal on these trips. Read the day plan rather than the brochure photograph.
Ask what the group size actually is
A group holiday is priced on filling a coach. It is a fair question and the answer changes the trip completely.
The places you pass through are lived in
Ask before photographing people and houses, take your shoes off where others do, and buy locally where you can. A holiday moves through more communities in a week than a trek does.

About The Long Stay Co.

We do two things: long stays for people working remotely, and offsites for companies who want the same houses out of season. Both are priced by the week. Every property has its upload speed on the listing because that is the question everybody asks first.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Good value for what's included.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.

Vietnam done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Worth every rupee.

Vietnam done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.
