First hotel Ladakh Himalayan retreat was nice, food options were also great and airport pickup on day one also happened on time.
Second hotel was average as it was a camp only, there were plenty of hotels too there which we got to know after reaching there

I felt so much breathlessness as if I will die that night. Thankfully camp owner had oxygen cylinder so used for an hour that but I guess this recommendation should have come from travel planner itself so that we could have been better prepared.
Third hotel Utpala was great in terms of stay but very bad in terms of food as they server only one vegetable in dinner and only poha+sandwich in breakfast. Could have been much better like we got in first hotel.
Travel from leh to Kargil via road was a mistake as after reaching Kargil, we were told that we will have to leave by 6am next morning because of some road travel guidelines so we slept early rather than visiting things in the evening in Kargil and after we checked out in the morning, we were told to stop at 2 check post while on the way from Kargil to Srinagar and each time we had to stay for 2hr-2hr. Along with that, after traveling for around 100km from Kargil, somewhere in the mid, there was road construction work going on so we again had to stop there for 2hr again.
basically it became a 12 hour travel and that too on a pretty bad road. so we reached Srinagar late night and thus couldn't roam there too.
Ideally people should travel from leh to Srinagar via flight as it will be even cheaper option, time saving plus quite comfortable. Our last 3 days wasted mostly in lengthy travel.
In a summary, people should be told to carry oxygen cylinder in Pangong and they should be told about better travel route from leh to Srinagar (if they want to prefer a convenient option) because roads are soooo bad between Kargil to Srinagar
