This was my third Ladakh trip but first to Tso Moriri. Why did I wait so long? It's even better than Pangong!
Honeymoon trip that exceeded all expectations! The lakeside camp at Pangong was so romantic - we even saw shooting stars at night. The planning was perfect and we didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you for making our first trip as a couple so special.
The interaction with young monks at Hemis was heartwarming. Their simple life is so inspiring. Life-changing experience.
Comfortable trip for seniors. Ground floor rooms were helpful. Food was soft and easy to digest. Minor suggestion - more rest stops.
Photography heaven from start to finish! The changing landscapes kept my camera busy throughout. Must-do road trip.
The most Instagram-worthy destination in India! Every frame looks like a painting. Cannot recommend this package enough.
We even got to see a snow leopard from a distance! The wildlife experience at Tso Moriri was unexpected bonus.
From landscapes to portraits of locals - got incredible variety. The hidden spots known only to the guide were gems!
Excellent luxury experience. Private guide, premium vehicle, top hotels. Only minor issue was one hotel below expected standards.
Spotted blue sheep and marmots! The wildlife in this region is amazing. Trek plus safari rolled into one.
