Big thanks to Fida and Padma who always personally make sure we are well taken care of! We were also in the good hands of experienced driver, Stanzin, who made travel on the demanding routes so comfortable! I highly recommend this great team who made our trip so safe and memorable!Written 12 September 2024
- _gabi582020 contributionsOutstandingFida the manager, is a walking encyclopaedia! He has a Ph.D. on historical anthropology !! I took a tour in ancient city and learnt a lot from him knowledge. Therefore I decided to accept his offer for two days tour to Turtuk and Nubra valley. Well tailored for my interests. Amazing experience. Warmly recommended.Written 10 September 2024
- camisamu980 contributionsHighly recommendedWe are a group of friends that visited Ladakh and thanks to the Ladakh Ladakh Backpackers we had an amazing experience. They were professional and open to customize the itinerary. The way they managed the visits, transports and hotel was excellent. Highly recommended!Written 9 September 2024
- vaishaliverma20210 contributionsOutstanding memory of LadakhOur experience with Fida and team of Ladakh backpackers were superb . It was one of our most memorable trip . They got everything right from providing a very seasoned driver , very clean car , best hotels and planning the days . We were in Ladakh for 7 days and visited Nubra and Pangong too . They curated a beautiful cycling tour which I would definitely recommend followed by a walk in the old Leh town . This was a highlight of our trip .Written 7 September 2024
- 886bigc0 contributionsPerfect vacation in Kashmir and LadakhLadakh Backpackers is the best travel agency that my wife and I encountered so far and we travel a lot. They made a tailored trip for us, that included beautiful places in Kashmir and Ladakh. Everything was perfect from one end to another of our trip. The locations, the restaurants that our two drivers chose on the way, the special activities that we took part in, all this made our vacation a perfect one. The owner of the travel agency, Fida, is a really great guy, the interaction with him was very pleasant, he really knows how to take good care of his guests. One of the interesting experiences we had was watching a polo match in his home village, followed by a very beautiful show with Ladakhi music and dances. Worth mentioning is also Padma, who showed us beautiful stupas in Leh, and last but not least, Shakeel, a great guy, who was our driver and tour executive in Kashmir and Abdul, who drove us through the mountains of Ladakh. i highly recommend this kind hearted team who made our vacation absolutely perfect.Written 7 September 2024
- 175sudipm0 contributionsAmazing Ladakh - An awe inspiring tripWe had an amazing trip to Ladakh thanks to the Ladakh Backpackers. Their highly professional job with the pre-travel guidance, very well curated customised itinerary and excellent arrangement throughout the trip was commendable. I was touched by the personal touch and the eye for details of Ms Fida and Mr. Padma. The hotels booked through them were comfortable. The travel on demanding routes was made comfortable by a good SUV in the hands of an experienced driver, Ghulam. Ghulam's helpful attitude throughout the journey was outstanding. The camel ride on the sand dunes in Nubra Valley was surreal. The Pangong Pso at 14K ft surrounded by mountains has to be in the bucket list of everyone. The experience was an awe inspiring testimony to the 50Mn year history of formation of the Himalayas through the collision of Indian subcontinent plate with the Eurasia plate. If I were to plan the itinerary again I would keep 3 clears days in Leh for acclimatisation to the altitude. There is enough in Leh to help one explore in a leisurely place. Thank you, Ladakh Backpackers team!Written 3 September 2024

- NorthStar064478354270 contributionsI highly recommend Ladakh Backpackers for anyone planning a trip to this beautiful region.My sister and myself recently embarked on a 16 day customized tour to Kashmir - Ladakh with Ladhakh Backpackers. From the well organised tours to top notch accommodations, the entire experience was outstanding. The itinerary was well planned, covering all the major attractions. The tours were seamless and highly enjoyable. Our driver Ghulam was exceptional - professional, skilled and knowledgeable about the local routes. His driving made us feel safe and he was always punctual and courteous. His photography skills were next level exceptional! The homestays arranged as part of the Tour were a highlight. They offered a unique and authentic experience, allowing us to interact with local families and gain insights into Ladakhi culture, providing cultural immersion and local hospitality. Fida and Padma's attention to detail, exceptional service and quality accommodations truly make them a top choice for Travellers seeking to travel in this region.Written 5 August 2024
- danielsK5057GP0 contributionsIncredible experience!Wonderful experience with Ladakh Backpackers! They were able to customize a tour to our specifications as we wanted to include a trip to a festival at a monastery. Very flexible with the tour planning. Overall, the tour had a lot of great activities and we were able to see a lot. The accommodations chosen were very comfortable and suited us perfectly. Food was excellent and well-prepared at each place. The driver was incredibly safe, patient and accommodating as well. Useful tip if you're visiting Turtuk (and you should). Go for two nights. We only did one and felt it wasn't enough. Thanks again Ladakh Backpackers. It was an incredible time!Written 4 August 2024
- manaswita0 contributionsOne stop destination for an amazing tripLadakh Backpackers were highly responsive right from the time of queries. I would specilly like to mention the support of Mr padma and fida who were thoroughly available during our trip for any kind of support. They made our trip a highly memorable one. Thanks to Ladakh BackpackersWritten 31 July 2024
- heidikM1699TB0 contributionsCustomized family tripWe did a customized tour with Ladakh Backpackers, being a family group including two children (8 and 11). Ladakh backpackers planned an itinerary according to our ideas, booked accommodation and arranged for a vehicle cum driver and a guide. It was a great experience – though we would have wished for the guide to provide more insight into the special aspects of art and history (one point of in the rating for that), he was great in finding nice stops for the kids (and us) – at a river or with sheep or yaks. We appreciated that very much. My personal highlights were the Domkhar rock art, the cave temples at Saspol and the drive through the Shayok valley.Written 30 July 2024
- Excursion277247032910 contributionsAwesome experienceWe were family of 6 - went for 10 day trip from Chennai. I was worried that my father who is near 70 and mother near 65 can go through the trip- esp khardungla pass where oxygen is less, pangong tso where oxygen drops fast at night and chang la pass. No issues whatsoever we had. It was perfectly planned and executed including oxygen cylinders best innova and drivers who knew the area like back of the hand. Ladakh backpackers made it happen. From the airport pickup in srinagar to boat house to monasteries to leh to turtuk to dunes to camel ride to snowy mountains - the best tour we ever had. Would recommend ladakh backpackers to be safe and enjoy.Written 30 July 2024
- Paradise117039045200 contributionsAwesome Ladakh Tour with Ladakh BackpackersThank you team Ladakh Backpackers for the wonderful experience. A very well organized tour with great places to visit. All the hotels provided had excellent facilities. As Ladakh is a high altitude region the tour design with time for acclimatisation to high altitude helps a lot. We always had a Oxygen Cylinder in the tour vehicle in case of emergency, but did not require it. Fida and Padma met us twice to see if everything was going fine. A big shoutout to Zahoor Bhai our vehicle driver for his calm and safe driving throughout our time in Ladakh and answering our questions. All in all the Ladakh Backpackers Rock.Written 30 July 2024

The tour agency is hospitable and accommodating. Before we even decided to book the tour, we contacted Fida via WhatsApp and he willingly answered our queries through a phone call. His replies have always been prompt. We also managed to request to add a one day trek to the tour package.
On our first day in Ladakh, fida took the time to drop by at the hotel and speak to us. As we told him our issue of not getting data roaming in Ladakh (even though we already purchased the StarHub data roaming plan back in Singapore), he willingly lent us his Jio SIM card which has 2gb/day. Phone signal wasn't so readily available at most part of our journey between places i.e. mountainous areas.
Throughout our tour here, we were accompanied by our driver, Tariq, who is a skillful driver; even though the roads outside of leh are generally steep and winding, we felt safe with his driving. He is also helpful as he would also take the time to stop at places that we would find interesting like the wild life e.g. marmut, wild horses, yaks and cows, and places like the changla pass, and helped us take photos. Furthermore, he helped us when ordering food especially since we were unfamiliar with the cuisine there. He is able to speak basic English, but only if we could speak hindhi/ladakhi, the tour would be even better :)

Our "Wonders of Ladakh" 5 nights tour with Ladakh Backpackers was an experience of a lifetime. From start to finish, the highly efficient team consisting of Fida, Padma, Rinchen, and our skilled driver Abdul, ensured that every aspect of our journey was seamless and memorable.
Fida, with his incredibly knowledgeable of the region, meticulously planned our itinerary, taking into consideration our preferences and ensuring that we didn't miss out on any of Ladakh's wonders. His passion for the region was evident in the way he shared fascinating stories and historical insights, making our journey all the more enriching.
Rinchen and Padma, our Tour Managers, were the backbone of our trip. With their impeccable organizational skills and warm demeanor, they ensured that everything ran smoothly. From coordinating accommodations to guiding us through the breathtaking landscapes of Ladakh, their attention to detail and commitment to providing an exceptional experience were truly commendable.
Our driver, Abdul, was a true gem. His expertise in navigating the winding mountain roads and his deep knowledge of the region made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Together, this incredible team created an unforgettable experience. We explored the rugged beauty of Nubra Valley, witnessed the surreal Pangong Lake, and soaked in the spiritual aura of monasteries like Hemis and Thiksey. The accommodations selected by Ladakh Backpackers were comfortable and offered stunning views of the surrounding landscapes.
I cannot recommend Ladakh Backpackers and their team enough. Their dedication, professionalism, and passion for showcasing the wonders of Ladakh truly made our tour exceptional.

Always better to go with the local travel company, and Ladakh Backpackers were truly the best local travel agent in Ladakh. After shortlisting few local travel companies we approached Ladakh Backpackers for our tour. They were highly responsive and the itinerary was well drafted keeping in view our comfort. Since we had a couple of senior senior citizens travelling with us, they made sure we were traveling in good health. Briefing about aclimatisation was provided at the starting of the tour. Also an oxygen cylinder was provided in the car for our safety.

As they said
" Happiness is… breathing fresh air atop hill.”
Long time back, few friends suggested to go to Thiksay Monastery in Ladakh owing to its hierarchical twelve-storey structure. Well, I thought I won't be getting the chance to fulfill this wish before I leave this country.
But guess what?!
I got another tick on my wish list!!!
We packed our luggage and then.. Ready! Set! Fly!
As soon as we landed, our adventures started and one of the desirable destination was Thiksay Monastery.
As we reached inside the premises of the temple, I got the chance to capture with my camera the magnificent beauty of it's interior design - which is of no less importance!
I was super excited as we were approaching the top, p.s. for that you got to set your body's battery on the saver mode due to the outer pressure, but believe me it was worth all the efforts!
The view was beyond description!
As we reached, I took a deep breath and tried to feel the wind rippling through my clothes.It was one of the best places I've ever liked. My thank goes to the " ladakhbackpackers " to make my trip unforgettable.

Working with Ladakh Backpackers was an incredible experience.
Fida was the first person we had contact with via email. He was always attentive and willing to answer the many questions we had. We had only a few days to take the tour, yet Fida customized a tour for us (5 days, 4 nights). In addition, when we told him that we wanted a hotel with a view of the mountains, he knew exactly which hotel had the best view.
Once we selected the package, we were assigned a Tour manager (Rinchen). She was in constant contact with us, sharing information about the driver, our tour executive (Mr Padma), the hotels, the expected weather, the suggestion of clothes and much more before our arrival to Leh/Ladakh. We didn't worry about anything as she resolved everything for us.
Mr Padma met us at the Hotel the day we arrived, and explained in detail what we would do every day during our stay in Leh/Ladakh.
The assigned driver- Mr. Ghulam- was incredible. He was extremely polite, willing to take us wherever we wanted, very careful when driving, knew the roads and had amazing driving skills for mountainous terrain. Also, he took us to the best places to eat and resolved everything related to the delivery of tourism permits. Likewise, we were informed that the van we travelled in always had an oxygen tank in case we needed it.
On the 4th day, my father got sick, and our Tour executive (Mr. Padma) bought the medicines and brought them to the hotel. Something for which we will always be grateful.
Our experience in Leh/Ladakh was incredible, thanks to Ladakh Backpackers. We will come back in the future, and without thinking twice we will use the services of Ladakh Backpackers again. From the website, Fida, Ms Rinchen, Mr Padma, and Ghulam, the quality of service was incredible. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Ladakh Backpackers.

Ladakh backpackers were one of the only agencies who were responsive to my queries. They were also extremely accommodating to my last minute changes of number of pax etc.
Fida who we correspond in email before the trip was responsive and answered all our enquires.
Padme who took care of us during the trip would always ensure we had a good time and had everything we needed. He even lent us his spare SIM card as we didn’t have time to get one.
Overall they are the best agent to get when visiting Ladakh

We did a 5N/6D tour with Ladakh Backpackers of the beautiful Leh-Ladakh region. I had booked this tour from overseas and Fida provided all the information required to make the process as easy as possible. Prior to arrival, we were given adequate information to warn us on how to best manage altitude sickness - however in retrospect, I would suggest staying in Leh for an extra day or two until you are fully acclimitazed or making a slow ascent from Delhi to Leh prior to commencing the tour (as both my parents struggled a bit). We were personally greeted by Fida on our first day and had all questions answered.The accomodation that was booked as part of the tour were all incredible to stay at, with everyone being very friendly and accomodating. Our driver, Gulaam, was fantastic - very experienced and professional, regularly checking in on us to make sure we were comfortable and any needs met. Overall, we had a beautiful experience and would highly recommend Ladakh Backpackers for your travel in this region.

Hello,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! I’m delighted to hear that you had a beautiful experience on your 5N/6D tour of Leh-Ladakh with us. It was a pleasure to assist with your booking and provide the necessary information for a smooth process.
I appreciate your suggestion about acclimatization; staying an extra day or two in Leh is indeed a good idea for better adjustment to the altitude. I’m glad we could answer all your questions upon arrival and that the accommodations and our driver, Gulaam, contributed to a fantastic experience.
Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again on your future travels to Ladakh!
Best regards,

I must say choosing Ladakh Backpackers was one of the best travel decisions ever made especially for a first timer like us to Ladakh. Prior to the trip, it was easy communicating with Mr Fida and he was very accommodative to our needs and planned the trip flawlessly. While we were there, Mr. Padma would also occasionally dropped by at our hotel and meet us to ensure that we were comfortable and well taken care of. Our driver Mr. Imtiyaz was a very calm and composed person and had excellent driving skills navigating through the mountains and snowy roads. He was very observant and sensitive in a way that he could tell from our facial expressions whether or not were suffering from altitude sickness. During the journey up the mountains, he could tell one of us was suffering from altitude sickness when he suddenly stopped the car and took out the oxygen canisters for us. Our comfort and well-being was his top priority. You could see that he really took pride in his job and duty as a driver. In a nutshell, Ladakh Backpackers was a great find and I highly recommend this tour operator especially if you are a first timer to Ladakh!

My family of 5 with 3 kids went on this exciting and adventurous vacation.
The organisers, Fida and Padma are amazing people. They were there to handle the emergency issues. My wife got sick and we had to make changes to the itinerary. Fida stepped and got an extension for a day even though there was a major event going on.
The quality of accommodation, food and driver was top notch. Our driver Namgil was a very skilled and experienced driver. Unlike in many parts of India, where driver tend to complain, Namgil was eager to show us many of the locations.
Few things to keep in mind:
1. If you are flying directly to Leh, take from day 1 the tablet Diamox. Take 1-2 days easy to get acclimatised
2. Don’t worry about food, all kinds of veg and non veg available. Tibetan Cafe is awesome
3. Roads are crappy, if you have bad backs etc think twice about going on this trip
4. If you are a non Indian citizen - you will need to get paperwork done. Backpackers take care of that. Don’t forget to get it done
5. Very important - make sure you have a postpaid SIM card. Prepaid just doesn’t work..
Whether hotel or camp in Pongong lake, backpackers manage or partner with the facilities. The quality is very high..
Thanks backpackers and Fida, Padma and Namgil for an amazing experience of Leh and Ladakh..

We did a tour for 8 nights. We were a large group of 20+ people including non-Indian citizens and children. For a place like Ladakh you need a tour company that is reliable, flexible and always available to tackle unforeseen events and changes. Ladakh Backpackers were all this and more. They arranged SUVs for local sight seeing and market visits when tempos were not allotted by the union. They gave great recommendations for restaurants and did bookings for us. They organized a private traditional Ladakhi music and dance show for the group which was superb
And all other arrangements were perfect. In short you must not think twice before choosing Ladakh Backpackers for your adventure or family trip
