Sanjay's 8 days trip to Ladakh

Experience in one hotel, Tejas, Manali was very very bad. Rude staff. Rude, argumentative owner with a superiority complex though was not superior in any respect. All hotels other than manali were very good. Jispa, hunder, leh, pangong hotels were excellent. Excellent hotel rooms, excellent service, excellent food. Our thanks to Shefali (Tripita) who was available day n night for any queries/clarifications and suggested us a package as per our requirements. A very amazing and beautiful tour was organised by Shefali (Tripita). Thanks Ms. Shefali from all the members of the group

Niki's 7 days trip to Ladakh

I was Extremely happy to book Ladakh Holiday with Travoguider through Vivek. Right from the beginning till the very end, the itinerary was well curated to ensure comfortable, safe and hassle free experience. Vivek is pro in planning and organising the trip. Our driver Dorji bhaiya was very good and professional. He was a localite, so was having good knowledge on all sightseeing places. He never said no to any of our requests during the ongoing trip. I would definitely recommend Travoguider for anyone planning their holidays.

Koushik's 9 days trip to Ladakh

We booked Leh Ladakh trip from travel triangle and Leh Ladakh journey is the agency. Overall trip was wonderful. Every place mentioned in iternary was covered. Our driver Joldan was friendly, he was on time for anything. He suggested many view points which are less crowded and beautiful. I strongly recommend him for any Ladakh trip as he knows every corner of Ladakh. Hotels : Leh - Hotel Ladakh place — we highly recommend this place to stay in Leh. Food is good and hospitality, rooms are excellent. Hunder - Dowa resort — stay is ok ok and food is average Pangong - High lake retreat pangong - This is most beautiful stay in the trip. Amazing view of pangong lake . Food and hospitality is excellent in such remote place. Highly recommend this for pangong stay Hanle - The Hor hotel — this stay is not good and food is very bad. This is only bad thing in overall trip. Never stay in Hanle more than a day nothing much to see. Observatory is not much useful. We can cover umlingla and return to Leh in a day. We did same it saves a day We had an amazing trip Thanks to travel triangle and Leh Ladakh journey for providing amazing experience with reasonable budget. Pangong lake and the stay in pangong lake
