We did the customized tour for our vacation (~10 days) and worked with Raj to plan everything. He was amazing- he was incredibly receptive and we were able to communicate with him throughout the whole trip whenever we had any questions or wanted to make any changes. He organized all of our lodging and transportation and tour guides- we basically didn’t need to do anything other than tell him where we wanted to go!

This was a great day tour that started with the breathtaking Gyuto Monastery and follwed by the Norbilinka Institute where our guide Hemraj of Himachal by Locals explained us a lot about the Tibetan culture, we visited a beautiful tea plantation and had the opportunity to taste the yea of our choice, we were then taken to Naddi View Point with a grandiose view of nearby Himalaya range, before a lunch in typical tibetan restaurant we had a short stop at the Church St. John of the Wilderness, after lunch there was a hike to the beautiful Baghsu Waterfall and last not least the Dalai Lama Temple was a must. All in all this tour was fully worth the money spent and we can recommend to go for it. You certainly won't regret it and will take beautiful memories of your stay in Dharamshala and Mc Leod Ganj

My daughter and I had an amazing time pick up from our accommodation and drop back in the afternoon was great. Our driver was exceptional on the roads around Dharamshala and Mcleodganj.

An amazing trip that I highly recommend if you want to experience lots of beautiful sites, learn and laugh along the way.

Mr Raj arranged a private car and guide for our 3 days In Dharamshala/Mcleodganj. He provided excellent service and communicated often to make are everything was going well. Our guide, Mr Onkar, is friendly and informative and met all of us ur needs. Our driver, Mr Kunar, was always prompt and courteous. This is an outstanding way to see all of the beauty and spiritual aspects of this place.

Our guide Mr Onkar is excellent. Friendly and informative. This hike is beautiful and spiritual. It is somewhat strenuous but not too difficult for most.

Mr Raj arranged a driver and a guide for our 2 days in the area. He provides excellent service and communication so I highly recommend using his service while visiting this beautiful area.

This was a great tour. The guide was someone who grew up in Kangra, so it was great to learn about how he grew up and not just the historical aspects of where we went.

The guide was great. He made sure that I was alright the whole time. He took his time to make sure I didn't slip or fall at any time during the snowy parts of the trek. I would go with them again.

We took the Shimla tour and our guide Khem ji Verma was brilliant! He was accomodating of health restrictions, tapered itinerary on the go as per our interests and was quite knowledgeable about not just the history of the place but the cultural losses, impact of natural forces and the rapid urbanization of the area. Definitely recommend their guided tours for that extra insight that only locals can provide.

With only a 3 day stay in Dharmasala, I signed up for the one day trek to Triund, where I would get a taste of the majestic Himalayas. The hike completely surpassed my expectations, filling me with a sense of wonder and awe. The exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable guide pointed out the names of trees and birds. He was attentive to my needs and safety the entire day and guided me through the more challenging, rockier parts. The view of the Himalayas from Triund filled me with reverence. The tiny cafe had savory, delicious food, which replenished my energy. I felt completely safe and satisfied with every aspect of this beautiful one day trek.

This trip covered all the highlights we needed to do cover for short visit to Dharamshala. Very personalized tour. Brought us to the Tibetan Medicine museum as well—since both of us are in healthcare business and dal lake was dry and not worth seeing. The guide, Mr. Vikram was knowledgeable and spoke excellent (American) English. Driver Kunal was a seasoned mountain driver we felt safe. If you want to touch every highlight in a brief visit, book them! You would not regret booking this outstanding private tour.

Started the day with a short drive to a stunning viewpoint and a walk ( or, in my case, a clamber) to an even higher point. Anyone who watched ' The Far Pavilions' will be able to picture what I saw. We went onto a Temple, a Monastery and a Covent all of which were far more interesting than it sounds. Onto the Norbulingka Institute to see the amazing skills of Tibetan craftspeople, engaged in traditional crafts such as metal and woodwork. The setting was absolutely beautiful in gardens with bougainvillea blossom and water features. Once again, an informative and highly enjoyable time. Recommended, and as a solo female, felt totally safe.

We had such a nice time! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of our questions. He even got a monk to bless us. This was a highlight of our trip to India.

My family and I did the Triund Trek, and whilst it certainly can be quite challenging in places, the views are incredible and well worth the effort. Himachal By Locals were an extremely professional tour operator and their communication leading up to the trek was first class. They even arranged transport for us to the starting point for a very small additional fee. Finally, if you book this tour I would strongly recommend requesting Mr Ranjit. A local to the area, he answered every question we had and assisted the members of our group through the trickier parts of the trail! Overall, an amazing experience!
