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.
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!
Spotted blue sheep and marmots! The wildlife in this region is amazing. Trek plus safari rolled into one.
Best trip of 2025! The 3 Idiots point at Pangong was obviously a must-visit but honestly every single spot on this itinerary was Instagram-worthy. The monasteries were so peaceful. Already planning to come back for Tso Moriri next year.
Good experience overall. Riding gear quality was decent. Roads were challenging but manageable for intermediate riders.
Left my comfort zone and conquered Khardung La! The supportive all-women environment made it possible. Life achievement unlocked!
