What people love about touring Kashmir solo
- Leh Ladakh Tour - 8 Days
Wonderful experience of Leh cultural of Leh and Sham Valley and Lamayuru was a highlight. The guides was friendly and informative. The hotels were basic but comfortable. Our driver was a lovely person. Overall, a well-organized trip with beautiful landscapes and different history.
- Leh Ladakh Tour
Ladakh is spectacular & highly recommended as a destination. The guide and driver were excellent, but the itinerary was impractical with little or no local advice sought as to the route taken, leading to long days of driving & duplicated routes. Be aware also that in the remote parts of the tour the accommodation is very basic, power is limited to 6:30pm-11:00pm daily and heating is sporadic. In April temperatures were as low as 15 degrees C below zero at night in some of the remote places. The resulting snow and ice were amazing, but ensure you pack accordingly!
- Leh & Ladakh Tour
This trip was well organized and the scenic views were unmatched. The roads were tough at times, but the driver experience kept us comfortable. The history and culture of Ladakh were explained clearly by the guide, and the hotels were clean and comfortable.
