    Poonam's 6 days trip to Ladakh

    Hi Team, Thank you for arranging the trip. Overall, the experience was good, but I’d like to share two points of feedback: 1. The food arrangements could have been better. 2. As a solo female traveler, being placed in a backup vehicle was not very comfortable. It would have been more convenient and reassuring if a proper vehicle arrangement had been made. Hope this helps improve the experience for future travelers.

    Anmol's 7 days trip to Ladakh

    We booked our Ladakh trip with Travo Guider and it turned out to be an amazing experience. Even though it was an impromptu plan, Vivek was extremely patient and proactive in arranging everything smoothly at such short notice. There was a small issue with the standard of one of the hotels, but Vivek handled it very gracefully and managed to arrange a better hotel for us within 30 minutes, which was truly impressive. A big thanks to our driver, Mr. Dorjay. Not only was he very experienced, but also a kind and wonderful person who made our journey even more memorable. Overall, the support and dedication of Vivek and team made our Ladakh trip hassle-free and truly enjoyable. We are very happy with their service and would definitely recommend them. Wishing the team lots of success ahead! with Travo Guider and it turned out to be an amazing experience.

    Ateesh's 8 days trip to Ladakh

    Overall good experience. Though a 7 day plan must always include Hemis Monastry which was missing in our plan. Also, in Nubra Valley stay should be in Hunder and not Sumoor which is far away. Very helpful driver which made the whole trip comfortable.
