Kashmir Tours for Seniors
The name Kashmir sounds rich and layered, and it is. You could visit Gurudwara Pathar Sahib and Magnetic Hills, ride a camel in the Nubra Valley sand dunes, or explore Leh Palace, Shanti Stupa, and local markets. Check out Diskit Monastery and Pangong Lake, which is high up in the mountains. Also, check out Shey Palace and the Thiksey Monastery complex. Ladakh is beautiful, and the whole Kashmir area is worth exploring.

- Beautiful Ladakh
Well managed trip with excellent service I loved how this tour was . Hotels and the efficient drivers, everything was handled with professionalism. The guide really made the trip, providing interesting facts about the region and explaining the history of the monasteries.

I am very impressed with Varanasi excursion Pvt. Ltd.They helped a lot in planning our perfect trip to India.It was well organised with a good driver and guides that helped me round every city and the extended leg into Pushkar and Udairpur was the best element which is missed from many of the advertised trips.My whole tour was very entertaining.Elephant ride at Amber in Jaipur was an unforgettable experience. Once again i would like to thanks to the whole team of Varanasi Excursion Pvt. Ltd. for making lots of effort to make our trip unforgettable. Samuel Johnson
