What people love about touring Kashmir solo
- Leh Ladakh Holiday
Entire trip was a wonderful experience. Leh’s history, especially at Alchi, was incredibly enriching. I loved the landscapes at Pangong Lake and Tso Moriri. The guides were very informative, and I really appreciated their insights into the culture and history of Ladakh. The hotels were basic, but they were enough to rest after a long day of exploration.
- 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.
Namaste!!! I would like to thank you and your company for the excellently organized tour “Land of Lamas”. Your constant attention to us throughout the trip justifies the name “TourRADAR”. I would like to say a special thank you for visiting the Akshardham Temple in New Delhi and the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort in Agra, which were not included in the program. Your guides deserve special attention. I would like to note their attentiveness, care and erudition. Thank you very much again. This trip will remain in our memory for the rest of our lives and will strengthen our former love for India (Bharat), its culture and history. Sincerely, Alexander
Land of the Lamas
