The Markha Valley Trek Traveller Reviews

Employing only local people ensured a genuine experience of India and Ladakh. The trek is not only beautiful but dynamic in its scenery, and so colourful. It's hard to take a bad photograph! The guides on the trek were professional and outstanding in terms of their mountaineering experience, you really felt in good hands and were looked after like kings. Indeed, the team who accompany you on the trek ensure your needs are attended to at every turn, what a cheerful, industrious group of individuals, all contributing to a comfortable and inspiring experience.

The reception at the beginning of the trip could have been better, with more information on India and the trip itself. More information on India, health and the environmental impact of tourism would have been appreciated. However, the welcome from staff once in Leh was beyond reproach. What a team! Kind, friendly, helpful people (our team leader was a real beacon of industriousness and efficiency) we were in such good hands. Employing only locals is a major boon, and properly qualified locals at that. KE have clearly built strong local contacts and sought out some of the best qualified people the region has to offer, staff who care and love their home place and want to share it.
