Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Solid operator.

Karnataka 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. No hesitation recommending them.
