As described the tour is full on but its so worth it to see so much. This tour really throws you into Indian history and witnessing day-to-day life was fascinating. You cover a lot of ground with some very long travel days but the sites around Rajasthan make up for it with stops always providing interest.
The hotels were great with a good mix between heritage properties and the modern facilities. Gajner Palace hotel was a particular highlight and the setting is incredible.

A wonderful trip up into the Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountain ranges of Pakistan. If you are after 5* luxury, this is not the trip for you, but if you have a sense of adventure, love travelling in open topped jeeps along dusty, bumpy, rocky and narrow tracks to remote villages, book it. I really enjoyed Explore’s Pakistan’s Karakoram Highway trip, one of the best organised trips I have been on. 15 like-minded people had an opportunity to talk to the local villagers and see what life is like in remote villages in the mountains. Yes, there a fair number of squat toilets at the regular toilet breaks, but almost all the accommodation has regular toilets.
Everyone on my trip had travelled extensively before. I do not think the trip would be suitable for nervous first-time travellers, but for everyone else who likes getting out in nature, it is a brilliant experience.
