A wonderful tour of the most important Buddhist sites in McLeod Ganj, starting with the Dalai Lama Temple and continuing on to the Norbulinka Institute, monasteries, and Tibetan market. Most importantly, all of this was accompanied by expert and in-depth commentary from my guide. I saw a lot and learned a lot. If you value expert knowledge and efficient navigation between attractions (we had a comfortable car and an experienced driver), I highly recommend this tour.
Had an another amazing day today, touring upper and lower Dharamshala. Mr. Onkar and Abishek were great. Could not fault their attention to our needs. Had some great laughs, and enjoyed sharing stories. Truly a memorable experience. Can't wait for our tour to Kangra Forte and Rock Temple on Saturday. Thanks for everything Raj and for organizing our tour.
It was a good day for excursion. Onkar, the local guide has shown all highlights of the city to complete my visit in Dharamshala.
my tour guide and driver went above and beyond despite rainy weather it was a wonderful experience. Ashish is very knowledgeable. The service was professional yet friendly. I got some recommendations for my trip ahead and I will definitely recommend this tour and it’s providers to anyone!
Excellent service provided by Raj, Abhishek and Onkar.
We had an excellent time on this private tour, thanks to our guide Vikram. He was genuinely knowledgeable about every spot we visited and shared great context along the way, which made the history and culture come alive. What really made the day special was that Vikram didn’t stick rigidly to the standard itinerary—he took us to a couple of extra places that weren’t on the planned list, and they ended up being some of our favourite moments. Having tea with a tribal family, the cricket stadium was a fantastic surprise, and visiting the stupa of the Dalai Lama’s second teacher was a meaningful, memorable highlight. The pacing was comfortable, we never felt rushed, and Vikram was happy to answer questions and tailor the experience to what we were curious about. Highly recommended for anyone wanting more than a “tick-the-box” sightseeing tour.
We had a very comprehensive tour of Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj with our guide Onka. He was very knowledgeable and keen to ensure that we got the most out of our tour. He was sensitive to our requests and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our stay. Our driver Surjeet ensured that our day ran smoothly and safely. Altogether a highly recommended tour.
Great trip in terms of the history around the Tibetan people, the Dalai Lama, Buddhism and the British influence in the region. Mr Onka and our driver Mr Kapoor did an excellent job despite the challenges of extreme traffic congestion due to local tourists in the region to experience the snowfall plus the Republic Day holidays. This meant we had to walk some of the way as the traffic wasn't moving and as a result we missed out one of the stops. This was obviously out of their control and not a usual situation. As a extra stop we were pleased to be able to visit the Dharamsala cricket ground and see the amazing architecture and spectacular surroundings.
The guide was excellent very knowledgeable and took his time to explain, would recommend without hesitation , His English was very good and clear to understand. His focus was with us did not use his mobile once over the seven hour trip
There was so much to see about the Tibetan experience in Dharamshala. My guide was excellent and very responsive. I highly recommend this tour.
