Rajesh Sharma & Family
Traveled: June 2024
5.0Perfect Family Adventure!
We traveled as a family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) in June 2024. The 9-day itinerary was perfect - the extra acclimatization day really helped. Our driver Sonam was excellent - knowledgeable and caring. Tso Moriri was breathtaking and less crowded than Pangong. Camel safari was a unique experience. Accommodations were comfortable considering remote locations. The team handled altitude sickness concerns professionally. Highly recommended for families!
Priya Mehta (Solo Traveler)
Traveled: September 2024
5.0Best Solo Trip Ever!
As a solo female traveler, I was apprehensive but the team made me feel completely safe. The 9-day duration was perfect - not too rushed. Tso Moriri was absolutely magical at sunrise. The guide was very informative about Buddhist culture. Food was simple but good. I appreciated the medical support - I had mild headache at Khardung La and they immediately provided oxygen. Will definitely recommend to fellow solo travelers!
