Feedback
This was my 2nd trip to India with Trinetra Tours, but this trip was more enjoyable than my previous one. We were in a group of five people, we never faced any difficulty in transportation and accommodation. Our tour guide Brijesh was simply outstanding, he guided us very well all through our trip. In fact, we cannot imagine a trip better than this.


Wonderful trip, 14 days of our trip were full of adventure and lots of excitement. We really enjoyed the jeep rides and treks across the mountains of Ladakh. Monasteries of Ladakh also fascinated us. Thanks Trinetra for an exciting tour.


Great tour, I had an fantastic experience with Trinetra Tours. I think my trip would have been not much interesting if I had done it alone. I will suggest all to visit India with Trinetra Tours.
