Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum age for this package?▼
This package is designed for travelers 55 years and above. However, we assess fitness individually. Some 60-year-olds are fitter than 45-year-olds!
Is medical support available throughout the trip?▼
Our vehicles carry oxygen cylinders and basic medical kit. A doctor is available on-call in Leh. For seniors with conditions, we recommend travel with medical reports.
Why do we stay only in Leh and not at high altitude camps?▼
High altitude camps at Pangong (14,270 ft) and Nubra can be challenging for seniors. We do day trips to these places but return to Leh (11,500 ft) for comfortable sleep at lower altitude.
Can wheelchair users join this trip?▼
Limited accessibility exists in Ladakh. Some sites have stairs. Please contact us with specific needs - we design custom accessible itineraries where possible.
Is travel insurance mandatory for seniors?▼
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering high altitude travel. We can suggest providers experienced with senior Ladakh travel.
What about dietary restrictions and medication schedules?▼
Share your diet requirements and medication schedule in advance. We ensure meals align with restrictions and remind you of medication timings.

Comfortable trip for seniors. Ground floor rooms were helpful. Food was soft and easy to digest. Minor suggestion - more rest stops.
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.
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.
Started our married life with the most incredible trip! Ladakh is magical for couples. Highly recommend this package.
