    · August 5th, 2025
    I recently booked a trip to Ladakh with Alkof Holidays, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. As a solo female traveler, safety and reliability were my top priorities — and Alkof delivered on both. The entire journey was handled with great efficiency and professionalism. Every detail was well-organized, and I felt completely at ease throughout the trip. A special shout-out to my driver, Feroz, who was incredibly kind, helpful, and trustworthy. He ensured I was comfortable and safe at all times, and his local knowledge really enhanced the experience. If you’re a solo female traveler considering a trip to Ladakh or anywhere else in India, I highly recommend Alkof Holidays. Their attention to detail, excellent support, and warm hospitality truly made my journey unforgettable.

    We had a fantastic experience in Kanha National Park. We visited the park in June, while attending an event. In total we saw 7 tigers in two different safaris at Kanha. Absolutetly fantastic!
