Priyankaa's 6 days trip to Ladakh

While the staff at all the hotels were exceptionally helpful and courteous, the food served at the initial hotel was never freshly cooked it seemed. They should take care and avoid serving stale main course.

Bymanju's 6 days trip to Ladakh

Hotel served purpose without frills. Clean, hygienic and responsive staff. Food spread could be a little more better. May be value for money Cab was OK. Driver specs was not as requested even though he was good. Person in charge (Sushant) was good, but the lady communicating before start of tour was not taking call later. General comment: All tour operators demand 100% payment before even start of tour. In light of online spams, payment terms must be: 5%- to confirm tour 75%- At starting point of tour, on first day 20%- A day before conclusion of tour Else, most customers will shift to Spot Bookings, rather than booking packages

Rahul's 7 days trip to Ladakh

Shefali was very cooperative and super quick, all the hotels very excellent and specially Gyalson the Innova guy was super good. We had a wonderful family Srinagar, Leh & Ladakh trip with Tripita in July 2025.

Nikita's 7 days trip to Ladakh

We have chosen Travoguider for our 10 days trip to Ladakh. Trip was very well organised by Mr Santa Singh including offbeat locations of Ladakh. Staff of all the hotels are extremely helpful. Trip can not be more cheerful without our driver Mr Chambal Singh urff Bittuji. He took extreme care of my mom especially in khardung la and changla pas where she had breathing difficulties. I recommend Travoguider and Bittuji for Ladakh trips without second thought.

Yash's 7 days trip to Ladakh

Tripita organized our Ladakh Family Trip in May 2025, so brilliantly. The experience with Shefali has been nothing short of exceptional. Right from reading almost all of Tripita’s internet positive reviews to actually acting upon them, the trip has been so perfectly organized. She goes out of her way to resolve your all concerns. The 4-star properties recommended by Shefali at all places in Ladakh were beyond expectations with respect to ambience & food. The tour guide cum driver Mr. Gaylson was fantastic guy to converse with all throughout. The Ladakh tour package amount they charged is significantly lower than other players in market, if you compare which I did already. The three points I really appreciate about Shefali & Tripita: 1) After Indo-Pak conflict situation, Shefali was so transparent about every recourse we asked, right from minimizing probable trip cancellation charges or rescheduling. She gave us a hell lot of flexibility in paying subsequent installments due to uncertain situation & not at all sticking to agreed cancellation policy charges or payment schedules. She earned my trust, right there. Not at all looking for minting money unlike other travel agents, but to actually address concerns of her clients & provide excellent service 2) Our Delhi to Leh Flight could not land due to Bad weather, so we returned back to Delhi to catch up next day’s flight. We feared either our itinerary would change or we would incur additional charges for changes. Shefali was too quick to come to our rescue and conveniently rescheduled our entire plan without any hassle & charges. 3) As I questioned her about negative reviews about some property, she was ready to redress my grievances & be flexible enough to changes at every point of time to your level of satisfaction & be ready to upgrade that property. Had really bad experiences with travel agents in past especially for money & promises, but not here. Definitely recommending Tripita to everyone, hands down. I myself will book all my future plans with Tripita if I plan for any of the regions they serve. Cheers to their transparency, flexibility & focus on service over money✅ Tripita organized our Ladakh Family Trip in May 2025, so brilliantly

Yash Kotecha Nagpur

Sid's 9 days trip to Ladakh

I would say anyone can blindly trust Vivek from Travo Guider when planning a trip to Ladakh. Our entire trip was perfectly organized, smooth, and flexible from start to finish. The stays were really good and comfortable. When our flight got delayed by a day, Vivek didn’t hesitate for a second—he immediately rescheduled everything without us even asking. That kind of support is rare! A big shoutout to our driver, Sangay, who was incredibly humble, polite, and cooperative throughout the journey. He truly made our trip even more special. Highly recommended!
