    Exactly what was promised

    Every transfer turned up early and the guide knew the history properly rather than reading a script. Nothing about the week felt rushed.

    Worth the flight

    We had gear and a safety briefing before anything started, which mattered more than I expected. The team stayed reachable the whole trip.

    Calm and uncomplicated

    No crowds and no pressure to rush through anything. Simple travel at our own pace, which is what we had asked for.

    Well paced

    Planning this felt overwhelming at first and turned out smooth. The itinerary left enough time to explore without feeling like a checklist.

Questions people ask

How fit do I need to be?
You need to be able to walk two kilometres slowly at altitude. It is not a trek.
Is there mobile signal?
Postpaid Indian SIMs only, and nothing at all past Nubra.
