Dear Trip Factory

First of all let me thank Leena Kartha...Trip advisor ....for answering the silliest quarry made....Leh Ladakh trip with my wife and two kids....from Kochi to delhi- leh..... from 8-09-2016 t0 14-09-2016.
Our Driver + Guide Aashik Husain is gem of a person..... Cool charming guy.... enjoyed his work... No Hurry...on driving wheel....took keen interest to show us double hump camel farm, yak farm, etc which are out of literary....made us feel cool when we were traveling so remotely .... came with us for our small shopping...... took us to have variety of ladakh foods. showed us the land mine area during the India china war....
woke us up early morning 4.30 am to start our trip to panong lake to avoid the traffic block due to ladakh marathon on the way. always before time..... GREAT......Still we remember his words..." Why hurry, take your time... u have come to enjoy the nature.....let the speeding vehicle go".....
LADAKH COLD Desert ...... Most Beautiful place on earth.....only thing is the altitude sickness.......headache .. disturbed sleep....etc.....( It is all due to , we did int took the medicine...only carried oxygen cylinder...).but that wont coverup the beauty of nature......Hats off to the solders working in the extreme climate....tremendous job to support the travelers....
we climbed upto 17500 ft Changla pass.....But avoided Kardungala pass......18400 ft....( May be we shall try next time when kids grow up)...... It is all right if we take pills......First view of panong lake is heart throbbing....Where India has 1/3 of the water share along with China 2/3.......
Magnetic hill....... we really felt the wonder..... only an right guide can show the wonder.... to park the vehicle at the right place so as to see full power of magnetic hill....even our charming aashik proved by keeping his vehicle on revers position.... fantastic...hall of fame.... salute to indian solders... took time to know in depth of all wars....took about 600 Photos of mother nature......had good time in all Buddhist monasteries.....leh palace.......Had an insight of construction of 8 storied buildings... with bunch of sticks wrapped together to form the beam of buildings.. roof.... combination of woods clay and sand stones.....great architecture during the olden days still followed.... Sun too hot due to altitude.. but if under tree ...like in AC...... Nothing much to see in 3 Idiots school.....Make sure u have sun glass.... cold cream...thermal wear...medicine.....etc
Challenging trip in life......nothing to worry .... No tensed situation as in kashmire......
Enjoyed a lot.......Trip factory kept their words.....all as planned.....worth for the money.......

The hotel Mehay Retreat......I simply appreciate the attitude of the hotel staff....always help full.....B/F was packed for us by 4 .30 am on our panong lake trip.....up to mark........

Combination of nature along with blue sky with white clouds.....Mountains...rocks, sands....Ha......what to say......Simply "GREAT"............................ Thanks Trip Factory
