  This was our 2nd trip using Bout India Tours within the past 12 months. My wife and I have had a very memorable experience during our last trip to Kerala with Bout India. Since we had such an amazing experience, we decided to book our trip to Leh-Ladakh with them once again. Overall, the trip was amazing. Bout India is very good at making certain that their employees are consummate professionals! Our driver Mr. Wangil and our tour guide whose name also happens to be Mr. Wangil were exceptional throughout. We felt comfortable and were looked after throughout our journey. When we met with an unexpected challenge due to Leh airport being close in light of the abrupt conflict between India and Pakistan, the General Manager Mr. Gaurav was very quick to lend his assistance in finding us an alternative option so that we could get home safely. He managed a taxi for us to get a safe passage from Leh to Manali and then off to Delhi, so that we could catch a flight back home. I would not hesitate to book another trip with Bout India again. The customer service is exceptional, the guides and drivers are very professional, you will feel safe throughout your trip for you are looked after very well every step of the way.

  Our tour was in Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla and Tirthan Valley. The guides were excellent, the drivers were very professional. All accommodation was very good. Of particular note, our driver for several days, Deepak, was always prompt and courteous and an excellent driver on the narrow Tirthan valley roads. Our guide in Tirthan valley, Yogesh, was very helpful. He adapted to the change of plan (from a hike to a day of fishing) and arranged for a swim in the river and a superb traditional lunch in the village.

  Bout India was amazing in helping to plan a very last minute trip to the amazing Spiti valley! Initially Nitesh and Kunal were able to put together a super itinerary based on our preference, and we’re able to make their recommendations accordingly. They were able to put us at ease as we were a little apprehensive about it as we had not worked with Bout before, especially given that we had to make the entire payment upfront because of the timeframe. They were able to put us in touch with the local agent in Manali. Geet took over the communication before we reached, and was checking with us constantly throughout the trip. She was able to incorporate places that were not initially planned in the trip, and worked with Rajat, our super helpful and amazing guide along with our superhero driver Mr. Kumar for an amazing experience overall. We had a great trip thanks to Bout, and would love to get their super efficient planning skills for our future trips as well! The only thing I would like to share in terms of planning for Spiti is that from Manali, going into Spiti can be a challenging drive. Clients should be informed of the same so that they can make some informed decisions. Even though Bout was prepared for any height related issues such as carrying portable oxygen cylinders etc, it was a bit much to travel from Delhi, and then leave directly for Spiti, which is a tough drive for almost 10 plus hours on a very tricky road. But overall, a super experience with Bout, and especially during our trip with Kumar Saab, Rajat, and Geet! Kudos to the entire team!

  I was at Ladakh from 11 to 21 Jul and it was one of the most fulfilling and beautiful experiences I ever had. The people and ever changing landscapes were so amazing, I did not sleep during any of my car rides! Laised with Bout India's Himanshu on my customized itinerary, as I wanted both sightseeing and trekking. Himanshu was so quick in all his responses to my questions and was very assuring. As a solo traveller, the way he handled the whole itinerary planning was superb, with confidence and professionalism, yet with care and concern. I did not think twice to book with Bout India, for my trip to Ladakh. Even the hotels and homestays at the trekking villages (selected by my guide) selected were great, and I had no complains. I really enjoyed every bit of my itinerary. In fact, I deeply regretted not being able to stay longer, to visit Hanle and Zanskar Range! I will definitely visit again and choose Bout India again! At Ladakh, I met my guide, Tundup Wangial and my driver, Dorjay Namjial. The moment I saw them, I felt home and at ease. Tundup was one of the most experienced guides I ever came across, with his deep expertise and knowledge on Ladakh, her people, culture, festivals and especially on Buddhism. He always knew the answer to my queries and took the time and patience to explain everything clearly. He was also very quick to come up with alternate plans, if I could not do something. We had wonderful conversions on life and philosophy. He was really great. Dorjay, with his superb driving skills up to the narrow winding roads of the mountains, was so kind and caring, always helping me carry my heavy bag to the hotels/homestays. Geet, from Bout India, was my laison officer. She messaged and called me every alternate day to check in on me, if I'm doing great and if there were any issues. She really showed care and concern, and even checked in with my guide to see how I was doing. She was very kind with her words and it was great connecting with her on my experience at Ladakh, while being there. I was very happy to have chosen Bout India for my trip to Ladakh, who took care of every of my concern and need, and blessed to have wonderful guide and driver to take care of me while being there. Thank you Bout India, Geet, Tundup Wangial and Dorjay Namjial, from the bottom of my hear. Ladakh and her beautiful and kind people were something I really needed, for my soul and mind.

  Bout India Tours is a first class tour operators . Akansha Jadon and members of Bout India Tours provided excellent and very attentive service. Each place we stayed at was exceptional. Transfers between airport and hotels were seamless. Ms. Jadon did a fantastic job pulling together an itinerary on short notice . We were thrilled with the experience in Sikkim and the program she put together really suited our interests. Bout India is an outstanding tour operators who I would certainly recommend highly.

  I was the only person booked for this tour so it was agreed that I would travel with a driver only, however Himanshu Maru of Bout India was in Leh and much to my delight he joined me for the first five days. He did everything possible to make it a memorable time and make me feel special. The driver, Nunu was a most careful, safe and considerate driver who added to the feeling of well-being. All the accommodation was excellent but I must single out Adu's Eternal Comfort where Disket's care and concern made me feel one of the family. I would thoroughly recommend Bout India for anyone considering a break in Ladakh or any of the many destinations they cover. Michael Symmons
