As per recommendations of one of my friends I booked my tour plan with yatra. com to leh ladakh from 24 june to 29 june 2017 ex delhi. from online booking to leh airport everything was excellent and was very well supported by yatra.com tour manager Mr.Ankit Singh( 9871624820) from his gurgaon office. we were well attended by the taxi personals on the leh airport and were transferred to hotel kanishka where we were well attended by Mr. Mithun Gupta our tour Operator for Leh Ladakh.
Mr Mithun(9899512751) was found to be the best person appointed by yatra.com. He briefed everything to us about our tour plan of all 5 days by warning with suggestion of intake of water 7-8 liters per day to survive there. He was very cooperative, knowledgeable and punctual of time.
The location of this hotel was extreme worst. It was in very remote area from the market, no taxi or vehicle was available even in adverse conditions If some suffers with high altitude or O2 deficiency problem then it was the mercy of the hotel manager to call a taxi at very high rate with minimum Rs.200/- even for one km journey. No first aid kit was available in hotel. On demand for hot water for bathing they were very simple and cunning by saying that as there is no sun, no solar working panel and hence no hot water. some times we took bath with cold water at 9 degree centigrade. Neither breakfast, nor dinner was of good quality. Bed tea was not provided by the hotel and for that they charged Rs 30 per cup of tea per day.
taxi provided by yatra.com was good and drivers too but they were non cooperative if you need them for market medical shop or to the hospital.
All the spots mentioned in itienary were covered except camp at Pangong as all the roads to Pangong were blocked due to land slides
.
Tents provided in camp area of Nubra valley were also not very good, location of camp was also not good. One of the executives of Yatra.com should see all these arrangements of location and quality of tents etc before booking these for their customers.
On the way to pangong when the road was blocked, we spent one night in a hotel for which we were asked to pay, which was highly objectionable bcz it was the duty of yatra.com to provide lodging and boarding to the customers from ex delhi to delhi except lunch which was not mentioned in tour package.
one thing which was more positive from yatra.com was arrangement of official photographer for local and for Pangong.
All People like Mithun, Mayank and Gokul appointed by yatra.com in Leh were very help full for our entire group.
Over all with slight short comings we enjoyed our trip with a group of 6 people who met first time in leh only.
