Definitive Cultural Tour of Ladakh reviews
Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
A trip of a lifetime to Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh! The itinerary was superb with varied excursions led by kind, thoughtful and informative tour leaders, Geeta and Tinlay. The road trip from Manali to Leh was spectacular and taking this slow route to Ladakh allowed time for acclimatisation. Mr Suresh was a careful driver on this challenging road. Our hotels were comfortable and the meals were excellent. This lesser-known part of India is a fascinating destination. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough.
Wonderful trip. A beautiful and wild region. Very few foreign tourists and rich Tibetan Buddhist culture. High altitude caused minor problems for me so take time to acclimatise!
Not so much a holiday as an adventure, with stunning scenery and a few heart-stopping roads. Endlessly fascinating with mostly comfortable hotels and many lovely people. The sort of trip where you come back with stories to share, as well as photos.
The drive up from Shimla to Leh was breathtaking in many ways - not only the amazing scenery but travelling along roads which were challenging after the monsoon rains had caused havoc with landslides and road surfaces washed away. Fortunately we had a brilliant driver in Suresh. Often our small group were the only people staying in hotels en route which made the tour seem very pioneering and adventurous. Being in a small group also allowed us to set our own pace and follow up on interests.
Mountain Kingdoms provided a 'cushion' to us less experienced in the adventurous way of travel, through excellent preparation, full information and a great tour leader. There was a fair mix of experiences.
What I really enjoyed about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was the smooth organisation, the variety of accommodation and the fantastic road journey to reach Leh.
