The destination involves walking & climbing steps at the hotels & sightseeing places so people who are comfortable to walk can only opt for this destination.
The food menu in the tour (breakfast & dinner) at the hotels gets repeated on most of the days because of the limitations in the vegetation. Enroute lunch options are very limited, basic in terms of food & ambience & also the lunch time cannot be maintained. It might get delayed due to mountain road traveling.
