Genuinely well organised. The trip leader had a plan for everything and still left us enough free time. Kashmir Great Lakes Trek was even better than the photos.

Third trip with Backpackers India and the standard has not dropped. Stays were clean, food was good and the group was fun. Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is a must do.

Travelled solo and never felt out of place. Only note is that one drive was longer than expected, but Kashmir Great Lakes Trek made up for it completely.
