Genuinely well organised. The trip leader had a plan for everything and still left us enough free time. Manali → Leh → Srinagar 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. Manali → Leh → Srinagar is a must do.

Travelled solo and never felt out of place. Only note is that one drive was longer than expected, but Manali → Leh → Srinagar made up for it completely.
