- Alexander· September 6th, 2025I have traveled a lot around the world, but this tour was the best in my life. Everything went exactly on schedule, like a Swiss watch. The contrast of cultures and religions of Ladakh and Kashmir gave the tour an educational and special charm. Mountain roads and high-altitude lakes gave the tour a spice and made the heart beat faster. I returned home full of impressions, enchanted by the indescribable beauty of Ladakh and Kashmir.Show more
- Oliver· July 30th, 2025We did a customised, shortened, version of this tour as a day trip in New Delhi. Manish and his team were sensational, really the best guides I have had in many years of travelling, looking to enrich and explain every detail of Humayun’s Tomb and the India Gate, followed by a lovely dinner recommendation. We really cannot recommend MTA enough, we will for sure come back for more!Show more
