Top 10 Cultural Tours in Leh, Jammu and Kashmir

September 28, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

The Ladakh capital city of Leh lies near the eastern parts of Jammu and Kashmir, on the crossroads of the historic "Silk Route" from Sinkiang to West Asia and to the plains of India. The humbling monasteries of Shey, Hemis, Alchi, Thikse and Lamayuru will nurture your spiritual needs, and the landscape of Leh provides for a number of adventure activities including mountaineering, white-water rafting and trekking along the Markha Valley.

Weather was awesome and the green beauty of jungle is a treat to watch, but the enjoyment at @Tiger lagoon resort property is something that can’t be forgotten, the food, the atmosphere and the service was worth paying.#TigerLagoonResort

The tour that was planned was amazing. They took care of our needs from the start till the end of the tour. We had a great time trekking and camping, our trek guide and the caretaker were very hospitable and made us feel comfortable throughout the trek and stay. The trek was during autumn, which had a different feel to itself, with yellow and red shades of the forests, even though it was a bit chilly in November. The way to moridugh was not that difficult, however be prepared to be spellbound by the views it has to offer. The campsite was amidst the forests with a view of snowcapped mountains. The tents and other facilities provided in the camp kept us warm and comfy during the wintry weather. Trek to Bhrigu lake was a bit steep. Even if you do not reach Bhrigu lake, make sure to atleast trek till the meadow area also known as the lonely tree, the view is totally mesmerizing! My overall experience with Himalayan Frontiers was top notch! Could not have asked for a better tour and hospitality! Highly recommended!!

I booked a domestic, international Meet and Assist transit service with your company for the first time. To say that I am very pleased with the service is to say nothing. I was met with a name placard just at the aircraft, taken by cart to a luggage pick-up area, and stayed at an arrival lounge for several hours to wait for my international flight check-in. Your customer service representative, Ajay, was extremely professional and attentive, really took great care of me as a solo female traveler with a few big suitcases, it was important to me to get an assist and feel safe during my transit time. When the time for my check-in came, another employee, Beny, with her colleague, accompanied me to the check-in counters and helped me go through all the procedures, taking me straight to my boarding gates. It was the best airport experience I had in India. Definitely worth every penny. Highly recommended!
