Customer Reviews

Hotels where we stayed were very average in Portblair and Mr. Chirag whom we first contacted was very good and helped us decide on things we can do and places we can stay. However, Ms. Sweety who was our contact person once we reached Port Blair, though helped us throughout the trip, she sounded like she is half sleepy or not at all interested and let this job get done kind of sounding.

The trip itinerary was well planned by Vishal for the days we needed. Hotels options were OK, but the option in Agra could have been a better one (breakfast was poor, constant issues apparently created to demand solution and tipping) . The driver Suresh assigned to us was very professional and friendly, giving us hints and advice for the places we would go. In general, we missed more planning from the agency in relation to local guides, for example in which places guides are highly advised or not for foreigners - perhaps they could include tour guides as part of the plan so that extra costs are foreseen. On the first day when we would visit temples on the way to Agra, we were surprised by most of them being closed during the day. Also, there's a lot of pestering in such places - perhaps having a guide just to help going through the right places and understand the temples rituals would be helpful for a better experience. Anyways, overall, we had a good experience in India.

Dear Lazy Yatra

I wanted to share some feedback regarding our recent experience with your services.

Firstly, I want to commend the driver for being very polite and providing excellent driving throughout our trip. However, we did encounter a small communication issue with the driver.

I also want to express my appreciation for the service provided by Click Sunburry. They were very friendly and offered great assistance during our stay.

For future reference, it would be helpful if Yatra could provide information on activity rates for each season and additional details for foreigners. This would help avoid the high local rates we encountered during negotiations.

Thank you for your service and support.

Best regards,

I recently traveled to Leh-Ladakh with Lazy Yatra, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment I contacted them, the team was very responsive and helpful in customizing the itinerary to my preferences. The hotels they arranged for us were fantastic: Shaolin Ladakh Hotel in Leh, Organic Boutique Inn in Nubra Valley, Pangong Boutique House in Pangong, and Padma Homestay in Hanle – all were clean, comfortable, and had very friendly staff. The driver, Mingur, was a gem – knowledgeable about the local areas and very cautious on the roads. Despite the cold weather, especially in Pangong, the accommodations were warm and cozy. I highly recommend Lazy Yatra for anyone planning a trip to Leh-Ladakh. Their attention to detail and excellent service made my trip truly memorable. Special thanks to Dinesh & Shipra for their constant support and for making the trip hassle-free.

Good evening Mr vishal . I have booked the holiday package of bali and our representive assigned was mr dinesh dhiman.As this was my 2nd booking with lazy yatra I had good expectations.Mr Dinesh was exceptionally well in organising the holidays.The stay were very good.The problem we faced was there was no single point of contact at bali to whom I can tell my problem everytime I had to give a call to dinesh.The problem that I face in bali trip is first no local representative there ,the drivers were asking me the inteinary every time ,during the trip and local sight seeing the driver used to carrry cash and buy the tickets after arriving the point and then handing over the tickets to me.We missed the taman aayun temple due to mismanagement of time.Then on the last day due to the mismanagement I have to do the ticket of garuda wishnu center for all and which was a excess of 3k from my pocket and then we missed the Padang Padang beach .Overall I had a loss of 4k which I have reflected to mr dinesh but no response from him.Firstly I my expectations were good and very high as it was 1st international trip for my wife and kid but at last after all these things I hope this things does not happen to other customers.I was planning for the azerbeijan trip with lazy yatra but after this I think it won't be feasible .I will be reviewing with google also .
Thank you.

LAZY YATRA REVIEW

We booked our Ladakh trip from 28 Sep 2024 to 3rd Oct 2024 through Lazy Yatra.
Dinesh and his team provided their utmost support in making this trip a memorable one.
We kept changing our plan and places to visit and Dinesh was very helpful in sharing the details as per our requirement.

29 & 29 Sep - Leh - Hotel Shaolin
30 Sep & 1 Oct - Nubra - Hotel Nubra Residency
2nd Oct - Pangong - Pangong Boutique House
3rd Oct - Leh - Hotel Shaolin

All of the properties where we were checked in by Lazy Yatra were amazing places to stay with staff being very helpful.
Though Pangong was the coldest locations of all at 3 degrees, the room at Pangong Boutique House was the warmest.

Our car was 2024 model brand new Ertiga and was driven by Stanzin, an amazing person who was just 24 years old but had very good experience of the roads and local places to see. He was very accommodating to help us see the places where ever we wanted him to stop and very a very cautious and a careful driver.

Planning Kashmir tour in the coming months and will definitely approach Lazy Yatra and Dinesh to help is plan our itinerary.

I wish Dinesh and his team at Lazy Yatra all the best.

I have booked our Andaman trip with Lazy Yatra and they have provided the best services. There were timely updates and guidance from our tour co-ordinator Sweety in Port Blair. The hotels booked were very good and also the food available was very tasty. Airport / Jetty Pickup and Drop were accurate on time and we didn't had to wait. Overall with the help of Lazy Yatra, we enjoyed our Andaman trip with much ease and comfort.

We had an amazing experience with Lazy Yatra. I had some medical issue during our trip but Lazy Yatra team and hotel staff helped us a lot , they were in constant touch with us. Our trip was well planned and well executed .
Special thanks to Shipra & Praduman for their support and the driver Mr. Tanpa is very nice as well as very polite person and guide us through the entire journey. Highly recommended Lazy Yatra for further travels. :)

5/5 Stars - Exceptional Experience with Lazy Yatra!

We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Leh and J&K with Lazy Yatra, and Our driver, Karma ( Leh ) , and Irsad (J&k ), were absolute rockstars. They went above and beyond to ensure our group's comfort and enjoyment throughout the journey.

The accommodations arranged by Lazy Yatra were top-notch - from cozy hotels to comfortable tents and cottages, and even a stunning boat stay. Every aspect of our trip was meticulously planned and executed.

Karma and Irsad's expertise, knowledge, and warm hospitality made our experience truly special. They were always available to answer questions, provide insights, and make adjustments to our itinerary as needed.

If you're planning a trip to Leh and J&K, look no further than Lazy Yatra. Their exceptional service, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them the perfect choice.

Highlights:

Excellent driver & services (Karma and Irsad)
Superb accommodations (hotels, tents, cottages, boat stay)
Seamless itinerary planning and execution
Knowledgeable and friendly staff

Recommendation: Don't hesitate to book with Lazy Yatra for an unforgettable experience in Leh and J&K!

We had a trip of Ladakh for 14 days. We covered every aspect of Ladakh from Kargil to Hanle and from Siachen to Tso Moriri. Our driver Mr. Ashraf Ali was very professional and he had thorough knowledge of terrain and roads. We went to Umling La and at the time snow was falling but he navigated well.
The stays were good apart from Ruthpa Homestay in Hanle which was bad and Tso Moriri which was average. We had fun on our trip and our overall experience was very good.
We recommended Lazyatra for Ladakh exploration.

Stay at bodhisattva tree in leh was very good. The staff were courteous and accommodation. The catering people provided good food . Keep up the standard.
Driver was very sincere and patient. Took us around.
Travel consultant Akil made sincere attempt to provide us with oxygen cylinder at higher altitude.

Ladakh journey of 5N/6D was really Nice. The driver Sonam was very good, friendly, cooperative & informative, made the difficult journey easy. And stay in leh & nubra was good but the pangyong stay mentsel cottage was not good, the staffs were good but there was no hot water available all time n washroom were not good & current was not available from night 10 till morning 8. Overall the journey was good.

A lot of thanks to Lazy Yatra team.
We had an awesome trip (except for a few incidents that could have been managed in a better way)
A special note of thanks to @⁨Praduman LazyYatra⁩ , whenever we faced an issue he was our point of contact and he did try his best to solve that. Twice we expressed our displeasure and promptly managed it.
And @⁨Mingur Leh Driver⁩Mingur bhaiya is the best. He is the reason we could enjoy our trip so peacefully,even on difficult roads he drove so well and was always there for us no matter what. The best part about him is his patience and kindness.He is really the best man we met in Ladakh.
We only have two complaints
1) Our first night at Henle was horrible, we were refused from Padma homestay and had to stay at Amma Homestay where the room was made up of plywood , the night was extremely cold and uncomfortable, also next day the behaviour of the people at Padma homestay wasn’t very welcoming.
2) At Leh we stayed at Northern Sigge we were promised a mountain view room but both the times we got similar rooms on the back side , although @⁨Praduman LazyYatra⁩ managed it and we were moved to a different room
Overall our trip was great thanks to everyone for making it that way
We shall definitely be recommending our friends and will look forward to plan our next trip with you guys

We had an awesome experience with Lazy Yatra in our Ladakh trip. The stays they arranged were so good as well as the staffs of hotels were so welcoming and the best part was our driver bhaiya Mr. Tampa, he is the best, helped throughout our journey, we earned a new friend. We got assistance throughout our trip from Lazy Yatra. Would definitely recommend Lazy Yatra.

I had a wonderful experience planning my Ladakh trip with Lazy Yatra between August 15-20, based on a recommendation from a friend who also had a positive experience. The Lazy Yatra team was highly supportive throughout the process, from planning itineraries to booking accommodations, cabs, and flights. They ensured a comfortable trip, with a well-planned itinerary that covered all the key tourist spots.

Key Highlights:
1. Itinerary Planning: I was guided by Rinki and later Shipra from the Lazy Yatra team. Shipra consistently kept us updated and regularly checked in on any issues. The creation of a WhatsApp group with our tour managers, local associate made coordination seamless.
2. Flight Assistance: When our Delhi-Leh flight was canceled, Dinesh from Lazy Yatra promptly informed us and quickly booked alternative flights, making the process smooth and hassle-free.
3. Travel Guidelines: Lazy Yatra’s travel guidelines were extremely helpful, preparing us for challenges like potential health issues (shortness of breath), pass-tolls and re-routing fees. I highly recommend reading these guidelines thoroughly.
4. Hotels:
In Leh - "Hotel Ladakh Inn": This was my favorite stay. The rooms were clean, the staff, especially the Manager, Rishi, was extremely polite and responsive. Their support when I was unwell was exceptional—Rishi immediately arranged for medication late at night. The hotel offers 24x7 warm water, great hygiene, and tasty food. Highly recommend!
In Nubra - "Organic Boutique Inn": While beautifully located, the hygiene and food quality here were disappointing. The rooms were old and dirty. However, new cottages are being built, which may address the hygiene issue. The food lacked variety and taste.
In Pangong - "Mentsel Cottage": Expect basic amenities at Pangong, and for an overnight stay, it was fine. The food was excellent, but be aware that there’s no warm water, no heaters, and no power after 10:30 pm in Pinging. Ensure you charge your devices beforehand.
5. Driver/Local Assistant: Nawang ji, our driver and local assistant, was the highlight of the trip. He was extremely helpful, jolly, and supportive, making our journey more enjoyable. He told us about local food, shops, informed us about the highest ATV place and go-karting place (which are on the way to Nubra valley; excluded from the itinerary though - you can do it if you want at extra cost from your end).

Areas for Improvement:
1. Oxygen Cylinder Communication: When I experienced shortness of breath and informed Lazy Yatra, the team did not communicate that an oxygen cylinder was available in the cab. My husband only discovered it later (we had not shared breath-shortness problem with driver), and this lack of communication from Lazy yatra team could have been avoided.
2. Re-routing Updates: On our way to Pangong, the police suggested re-routing due to rising water levels in Shayok Valley. While our driver made the right decision, Lazy Yatra did not inform us in advance about the need to re-route. Only after I called to confirm did they provide this update.
3. Flight Refund Delays: Our flight from Leh to Delhi was canceled, and we were told the refund would be processed within a week. I understand the refund had to come to them from Airline, the only pain point for me is that while refund took 18 days, we had to follow up multiple times with Lazy Yatra for updates. We were expecting transparency and updates coming from their end, instead of us chasing them. However, team was still supportive - I would not put much emphasis on this issue. Additionally, we requested Lazy Yatra to adjust the pending 10k of the tour against the airline refund of 11.3k, but the Accounts team didn’t accommodate this request. Maybe Lazy yatra's account team needs to change their processes, if possible and right.

Final Thoughts:
Lazy yatra is an amazing travel-partner! I must recommend it if you are planning your trip! The team is super amazing! Loved knowing them! While there were a few hiccups, the overall experience with Lazy Yatra was great, and I would still recommend them for their excellent support, well-planned itinerary, and reliable team. Many thanks, Lazy yatra team, for your support throughout! You guys are awesome!

Overall experience of our Ladakh trip was good. All the arrangements were well managed with good cooperative driver.
Lazy yatra coordinators were responsive and easily available over a call, though there was not much need for contacting them as everything was planned well.
All our stays were comfortable, just to add leh stay could have been more better.
Thank you lazy yatra team for arranging this trip!

I recently booked an 8-day trip to Ladakh through Lazyatra via TravelTriangle, and it was an absolutely memorable experience! From the very beginning, Akhil at Lazyatra was incredibly attentive, customizing our itinerary exactly as we had discussed. The hotels he recommended were not only comfortable but also very hygienic, which added to the overall positive experience.

The trip itself was fantastic, with stunning landscapes and a well-planned schedule. We were particularly impressed by the food at Royal Foster in Pangong—it was delicious and far exceeded our expectations!

One of the highlights of our trip was the amazing support we received from our drivers, Ashraf Ali and Karma. Despite facing climate issues and even landslides during our journey, they made sure we were always comfortable and safe.

Overall, this trip was everything we hoped for and more. Thanks to Lazyatra, Akhil, and our wonderful drivers, we had an unforgettable adventure in Ladakh. Highly recommended!

This is my first experience with the travel agency and it was soooo good.i find them by a YouTube.
We recently visited to Leh ladakh, We contact with lazy Yatra one day before the trip. And they made my trip awesome. The entire trip was well planned and coordinated. All the arrangements were done in a professional way.
The stays at Shaolin Ladakh in Leh and Himalayan wooden cottage at pangong were excellent, and stay at pika camp at Nubra valley was average, but I must say food was delicious and fresh at all 3 stays.
The driver Mr Tsering was very good, kind, and helpful he's a very nice person. We had an overall excellent experience although faced some health issues due to high altitude of Ladakh.
Thank you so much Team Lazy Yatra

I booked a 10 day trip to leh ladakh with Lazy Yatra. Everything was appropriately planned.. Right from the coordination, to stay, to facilities, the driver/guide. Nowhere we felt helpless or faced any challenge. Our Driver was Tempa and he was an excellent person … Stays were comfortable, food served was good… if you are planning for a trip first time to Ladakh.. Give them a try 👍👍

1. We choose package for a seamless and hassle-free vacation. Although in between there were some upsets and we wanted to change one leg of the itinerary, but no positive response was given by representative. Even though at time of booking i informed to make that leg of the journey optional but still representative showed no positive response. Either book or no book was the choice.

Other than that everything was seamless.

Not to mention but the Driver was excellent!

Overall experience was excellent. The support provided throughout the journey was top-notch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

From the initial booking to the end of the trip, everything was well-organized and handled professionally. The customer service team was responsive and helpful, addressing any questions or concerns promptly.

Overall, I had a great experience with Lazyatra and would highly recommend them for anyone planning a trip. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart.

I contacted Lazyatra Team for my Ladakh trip, and I must say it was one of the best decisions I made. They arranged everything perfectly according to my requirements, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout the trip. The team was in continuous touch with us during our visit and stay in Ladakh, providing excellent support and assistance. The driver they arranged for us was exceptionally good, making our journey comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Lazyatra Team for their outstanding service and meticulous planning.

I contacted the team of lazyyatra seeing a youtube blogger taking their service. After which I found the team was very professional and did an awesome job to customise my itinerary according to my choices. When I reached ladakh the driver assigned to me Mingur ji was very nice and knowledgeable about the places I wanted to visit. He was very accommodating too. I stayed 4 nights in ladakh. 2 at the start and 2 at the end of my 9 days trip. I found the 2nd hotel ladakh inn a lot better location, service and amenities wise than teh first hotel that I stayed. The rest of the hotels I found very good specially Pika camp in nubra valley and the himayalan wooden cottage in merak near pangong tso.

Overall I would recommend lazyyatra and will take their services in future.

Our choice for a Leh Ladakh tour package was Lazy Yatra. Our stays—aside from our time in Tso Moriri—were to be rated as nice. Nonetheless, it is quite commendable how graciously the workers behaved given their meager means. Additionally, the property is very close to the lake. Mr. Mingur, our driver for Leh-Ladakh, is a wonderful man. He also gave one of our friends an oxygen cylinder and periodically checked on him. He led us in every location and circumstance in addition to adhering to the schedule in its entirety. We also want to thank Ms. Mayuri and Shipra from Lazyatra. They planned our vacations beautifully, led us on our trip, and were always reachable. Regards, Lazyatra.

I had done two trips with lazy yatra in last 6 months. It was an amazing experience. The package they make ia totally customisable. The agent Chirag is really good. He made my trip awesome. I had a family trip to Andaman. All the stays we chose was 4 star categories, amazing, hygienic and value for money.
The second trip I had a couple trip to Kerala- Munnar and Allepey. We chose 5 star categories hotels and the whole itinerary were amazing. Everyone asked about the travel package and wanted me to share the itinerary. Worth experience. Thanks Lazy Yatra

1. Houseboat experience was horrible
2. Food was horrible, will never recommend anyone to opt it
3. People around tourist area were very weird and asking for tips constantly
4. Hotel in Pahalgham was very average and room services for kitchen was not available for tea arnd 7pm or in th morning 7am
5. Hotel in Tangmarg was the best hotel we had in our whole trip
6. Breakfast buffet at all these hotels were limited and not as per our expectation
7. Srinagar hotel was also good but again food was not
8. Cab driver was very polite and helpful
9. In Kashmir trip only the food at outside hotel was reasonable and tasty
10. We will remember Kashmir for its beauty and Kashmiris for their rude behaviour, this is our concluded feedback for Kashmir

I don't think we will plan again this place in near future any time soon, but never say never
Would love to see the gulmarg in snow

I have done 2 trips with Lazyyatra - Leh Ladakh in 2022 and Spiti Valley in 2024. It has been a great experience planning my travel with them. All their coordinators are very cooperative and were very patient with the multiple changes and customisations I made them do :) Their services are excellent and I surely recommend them if you are looking for someone to make your travel arrangements in an hassle free manner.

A.
I stayed in three locations during my trip. Leh was excellent. Nubra's accommodation was a bit unhygienic, but the staff was cooperative, so I had to address it. The staff at Pangong was very good, though the accommodation could have been better, and the electricity was limited there. (un-informed)

B.
Karma Sonam, the taxi driver who guided me through Ladakh, including Nubra and Pangong Tso, made my trip extraordinary. His impeccable driving ensured a safe and smooth journey across the stunning landscapes. Karma’s helpful nature and honesty were consistently evident, making every moment stress-free. His punctuality and dedication to his work were remarkable, always arriving on time and ready to assist with a smile. Karma’s knowledge and genuine care enhanced my experience, making it unforgettable. I wholeheartedly rate Karma 5 out of 5 for his exceptional service and recommend him to anyone visiting Ladakh.

C.
Mayuri's guidance was invaluable for our trip. It was our first time there, and she was very encouraging. While I already knew most of the details from my friends, she efficiently handled the reservations on time.

Thanks you Lazyatra for coordinating our recently concluded trip Kashmir Ladakh Himachal !
A. How was the stay in hotels?
Hotels were absolutely fantastic. Both the staff and the food were excellent.
B. How was the driver with sightseeing & Cordination?
Although the driver for Leh sightseeing was not upto our expectation, but when reported, @Akhil from Lazyatra, duly coordinated with the local operator and got the driver changed for the rest of the trip. Really appreciate such gesture.
C. How was the Travel Consultant? (It would be great if you can name her/him) in your review.
Akhil has been always in contact with us throughtout the trip and took care of our concerns with due priority. Excellent job Akhil !

As already mentioned earlier, we had a few minor initial hiccups mainly with the driver at Leh, but it was quickly sorted out so that we could have a seamless and memorable trip ahead. No complaints.

Drivers - Fida Hussain ( Srinagar ), Younis ( from Srinar to Leh ), Karma Tashi ( Leh - Jispa ) & Pankaj ( Jispa - Chandigarh ) were the true gems. We love drivers who can converse with us and prepare us what to expect upfront.

In short..... an excellent experience !

Our stay at Mehtab Palace is to be graded as average only as the property is deserved to be rated as 'budget category'. However, other hotels like Jojila Residency, Sangaylaya Palace, Hunder Residency( though changed in last moment from Organic Boutique Inn) and Mentsel Cottage were really excellent. Mentsel Cottage deserved to be given 10/10. The height of hospitality the staff showed with their limited resources is really appreciable. The property is very close to the lake, too.
Our driver for Kashmir ( Mr. Mansoor Hossain) is a good guy but during our whole trip he showed us only 1/4 of our scheduled itinerary. We missed Shalimar Bagh, Parimahal, Chasme Sahi and Sonamarg. He was always in hurry and persuaded us to shorten our trip. However, our driver at Ladakh is an awesome person. Mr. Tenzin not only followed the entire itinerary but also guided us in every place and situation.
Mr. Akhil of Lazyatra is also a gentleman of good heart. He was accessible always, guided our trip very nicely and arranged our holidays in a beautiful way.
Thanks Lazyatra.

This was our first trip to HP and also with Lazyatra. We had a very good time overall although the trip could have been better planned towards the end.
All the accommodations booked were quite comfortable. We had not asked for any luxurious rooms and accordingly, rooms were booked as per our budget.
The driver was very polite throughout our trip and the car was also quite comfortable and very well maintained.
Food at all the hotels was excellent.

Overall, it was a good, relaxing, memorable trip with family.

Thank you team Lazyatra 😊

we have been in touch with Lazy Yatra and planned our wonderful and memorable vacations. Recently we had a trip to Munnar. From start to finish, they were attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. They curated an itinerary that perfectly matched our interests, ensuring every detail was taken care of. We told team to plan our trip kids friendly and it was well taken care. thanks to Vishal. The accommodation Team suggested were superb, offering breathtaking views, delicious dinner, various activities and comfort. Their recommendations for local activities (cultural kathakli dance, local food) and dining were spot on, enriching my overall experience. I highly recommend Lazy Yatra for your lifetime memories

The Kerala Package is well planned and is perfect covering the Misty Hills of Munnar with lots of activities including Safari to the Waterfalls, Scenic spots & cultural events of Kathakali and Kallari. The Dense jungle of Thekkady at the periyar forest, boat ride in the lake was awesome. You may book the boat tickets in advance through online booking. There are lot of activities conducted by Kerala tourism at the Thekkady including Night Trail in the Jungle was one of a kind of experience.The drive from the Munnar to Thekkady is breathtaking through the Misty clouds.Then the boathouse experience at Alleppey is equally captivating with the serene backwaters and enjoying the local delicacies. Both the house Boat staff was very hospitable and courteous and prepared additional sea food delicacies on our request. The last day was equally eventful at beaches of Alleppey and Marrari enjoying the making of sand castles. The end part was perfect with Fort Cochin visit and couple of tourist spots nearby. Overall, this package is highly recommended, as it gives complete experience of Mountains, Jungle, Beaches, Cultural entertainments and loads of shopping and adventure activities to do. The highlight was the Taxi service with excellent driver and knows best places to visit/shop/eat.

Well organised trip. The itinerary was shared and very well explained. Any modifications and changes that we requested for were accomodated well.
Just one area of improvement, the co-ordination of activities and intimation of details can be done well in advance and better explained.
But overall we had a great, hassle free experience and definitely look forward to our next trip!!!

Thanks to the organisers of our holiday Lazy Yatra, our trip to Kashmir and Ladak was seamless. The drivers appointed to cart us around were obliging, punctual and willing to go that extra mile to suggest shopping areas. Although Lazy Yatra had suggested buying a post paid connection for our mobile sets, we ignored the guidelines, assuming that connectivity will continued at least at Sringar airport but we were flummoxed that all our cells were inoperable and there was no way to contact the driver although numbers were provided. In a fix, we called Rinki ---the main coordinator of the trip --- from the airport phone, who offered us relief when she said the driver was waiting at the gate. To our relief, he was there indeed!

Another aspect we realised was that in some overnight stays, local manager would allocate an inadequate room. After informing the Lazy Yatra the situation was promptly corrected. It is therefore recommended that travellers check their schedule and insist with local hotel manager on the allocated live in space for the night.

At isolated stays we were denied a bath for the evening because the hotel provided hot water only in mornings. Therefore , had to manage with ice cold water for morning jobs, in the event it wan early morning move towards next destination. However, we were informed later that hotel would make some arrangement for the same.

Tent stays were fraught with a few manageable insects, but the environment was certainly cold below comfort level.

At Pangyong lake which was a climax of scenic splendour, it is strongly recommended that tour organisers ought to desist from stays at the lake, rather after an hour long sojourn luxuriating in the most beautiful natural spectacle return to the hotel in nearby village rather than pass on the evening at the tent. This is because the weather goes down to 5 degrees or - 2 at night, accompanied with breathlessness, as we had experienced due to altitude.

Travelliers ought to be prepared to travel long distances to get unprecedented sights, hihe mountains, curvecous roads, great valleys

and superb snow mountains, putting even the alphine mountains of the west in tough competition. All in all, it was an almost perfect and surely a memorable holiday

to cherish in years to co

Stay in hotels was comfortable and services were really up to the mark. Welcome Gulmarg, Zaryab and Royal Star houseboat received us well and provided everything single thing we needed time to time. Only Lidder hotel led our expectations down due to their behaviour, hospitality and food.

Experience with driver (Zahid) also went well throughout the journey. His suggestions helped us manage our trip in a very easy going manner.

Travel consultant Rinki was always available with her instant support throughout the journey. She tried her best to made sure we recieve best services and experience in our journey.
We really enjoyed our trip and had some splendid moments. Will visit again definitely in winters now.
