I trusted Triumph Expeditions with the 1st ever solo trip of my life and I don't think anybody else could've given me a better experience.
Even though there was a last minute client cancellation in my batch - leaving me as the sole participant of the 22nd Jan 2021 Ladakh Winter Expedition, the organiser Suresh Anna ensured all proper arrangements for an absolute zero compromise on the quality of my trip.
Right from guiding me to prepare for the harsh winters before the trip to calling and checking-in on me everyday to ensure I'm healthy and enjoying the trip, Suresh Anna was a gem of an organiser.
I was lucky to witness the beauty of Leh-Ladakh in a white & brown color and the scarcity of tourists due to winters made the place even more surreal and peaceful. I got to see the Pangong Lake in all its frozen glory, took pictures with the men from The Mighty Indian Army on the world's highest motor-able pass - Khardung La at 18,000 ft , did Ice-Skating on the frozen paddy fields of Leh, visited the magical Hemis Monastery hidden away in the lap of snow-capped mountains.
All of the above while being chauffeured around by Stanzin bhaiya, the most resourceful yet humble person driving me around in a neat and cozy Innova Crysta. Since it was winters and there was snow on the roads, the care taken by Triumph Expeditions in providing a snow experienced driver and a really well-maintained car was much appreciated. Having a skilled driver to ride with really gave a sense of security and mental piece so that I could focus on the breathtaking views.
After each eventful day, I came back to the comfort of the Guest House arranged as my accommodation. It was a homestay where the lovely family of Mr. Nawang served me local, delicious home-cooked meals and also took care of me when I had a mild sickness. It felt like a home away from home where the room was super neat, radiator heated and hot water was always available. It was this place where I met Zaikat, the family's cute Pomeranian with whom I had tons of fun while relaxing.
The people of Ladakh made my trip even more special and memorable. All in all it was a better than 5 Star experience with Triumph Expedition and I'm looking forward to explore more such...

Read moreIndia is a great country and we have too many states with too many things or monuments to explore, if taken a decision I would have messed up the entire trip with my family.
It's like starting from how many days, hotels, food, transport, flights, the local language, and much more to look into.
YES we did it in just 15Days.
Thanks to team Triumph for organizing such a wonderful road trip covering the entire Gods Own Country (Kerala) in one go.
We started this new year (January 1st 2021) from Calicut, covering Wayanad, Munar, Vagamon, Alleppy Boat House, cochin, Trivandrum in an excellent climatic condition. The team offered us a pickup from our boarding city with the flight tickets.
That's Cool right!
The entire trip was totally covered up with all paid in each and every segment starting from Food to entry tickets in boats, children's club activities, and nothing to spend from your pocket. My family enjoyed the local curry in every district of Kerala especially (Puttu & Kadalakari), and as the climatic conditions were well informed to us well in advance we got prepared for the same.
The only thing as per my view is taking 2 days in a boathouse is not recommended as we would be totally isolated for 48 hours instead we can take one day in the boathouse and the other day in any resort.
I would suggest Mr.Suresh to look into the recommendation.
Apart from this, the trip was truly amazing, I would recommend it to everyone who looks to explore an entire state in one trip.
We will catch up in May Month for Karnataka Road...
