Grand Yasmin , Leh

My name is Rajesh Rajanala. We did a winter trip in December month ( From 08.12.2024 to 14.12.2024 ) to Ladakh with Lazy Yatra, and it was the best decision. Mr. Akhil from Lazy Yatra helped me to plan the best possible itinerary, also helped me to customize my tour package. It was a six days trip, and I stayed in 2 different places in the entire trip. The stay at all the places were comfortable. The food at hotel Grand Yasmin, leh was really amazing. The hotel staffs all were very humble and helpful.
Lazy Yatra went above and beyond in ensuring our trip was smooth and enjoyable. From the moment we arrived, Akhil team took care of everything — transport, accommodation, permits, and even local experiences. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Ladakh’s history and culture, which made the trip even more enriching. They were attentive to every detail, ensuring we were comfortable, safe, and fully immersed in the region’s beauty. Once again, many thanks for making such a trip possible because I had a child age 9 years but in December , ladakh temperatures are ( -11 c to – 20 c ). The organisation, the effectiveness, the planning and on top the driver were just perfect. We felt so comfortable although being so far from home. Everything worked out in time and perfectly.
The cab driver (Mr. Karma Sonam) never had to look for either a hotel, guide, or any other sight seeing place. We felt very safe and were treated like royals. The car was always clean, washed and the fresh water that was placed every day at our seats was very much appreciated from our side. Our driver, Mr. Karma Sonam was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was not just a driver, but someone who genuinely cared about making our trip special.
His driving skills in the challenging terrain of Ladakh were exceptional. The roads, especially those leading to places like Pangong Lake and Nubra Valley, can be quite tough, but Mr. Karma Sonam handled them with great skill, making us feel safe and comfortable at all times. He drove smoothly and carefully, ensuring that we could enjoy the stunning views along the way without any concerns.
What really set him apart was his deep knowledge of Ladakh's history, culture, and natural beauty. He shared fascinating stories about the places we visited, from monasteries to remote villages, and gave us recommendations for local eateries and attractions that we would never have found on our own. His tips made our trip even more memorable.
Not only was he punctual and reliable, but his warm and friendly demeanor made us feel at home. He was always ready to help with anything, whether it was taking photos at scenic spots or answering our endless questions about Ladakhi traditions.
We would highly recommend Mr. Karma Sonam to anyone visiting Ladakh. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, safe, and friendly driver who will go above and beyond to make your trip special, look no further. Thank you so much , Mr. Karma Sonam for being such an integral part of our unforgettable Ladakh adventure!
In conclusion, my Ladakh trip with Lazy Yatra was an absolute delight. They took care of every detail, allowing me to fully relax and enjoy the beauty and adventure that Ladakh offers. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or simply a peaceful getaway, I highly recommend booking with Lazy Yatra. They truly understand how to craft a memorable journey, and I can’t wait for my next trip with them...

I recently booked an 8-day trip to Ladakh through Lazyatra via TravelTriangle, and it was an absolutely memorable experience! From the very beginning, Akhil at Lazyatra was incredibly attentive, customizing our itinerary exactly as we had discussed. The hotels he recommended were not only comfortable but also very hygienic, which added to the overall positive experience.

The trip itself was fantastic, with stunning landscapes and a well-planned schedule. We were particularly impressed by the food at Royal Foster in Pangong—it was delicious and far exceeded our expectations!

One of the highlights of our trip was the amazing support we received from our drivers, Ashraf Ali and Karma. Despite facing climate issues and even landslides during our journey, they made sure we were always comfortable and safe.

Overall, this trip was everything we hoped for and more. Thanks to Lazyatra, Akhil, and our wonderful drivers, we had an unforgettable adventure in Ladakh. Highly recommended!

I booked a 10 day trip to leh ladakh with Lazy Yatra. Everything was appropriately planned.. Right from the coordination, to stay, to facilities, the driver/guide. Nowhere we felt helpless or faced any challenge. Our Driver was Tempa and he was an excellent person … Stays were comfortable, food served was good… if you are planning for a trip first time to Ladakh.. Give them a try 👍👍

Overall experience was excellent. The support provided throughout the journey was top-notch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

From the initial booking to the end of the trip, everything was well-organized and handled professionally. The customer service team was responsive and helpful, addressing any questions or concerns promptly.

Overall, I had a great experience with Lazyatra and would highly recommend them for anyone planning a trip. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart.

A. Hotels:
1. Shaolin Hotel, Leh - The hotel didn't have heaters for all rooms. In the winter season they need to have heaters in all rooms. There were hardly any rooms that were occupied, but they still couldn't give us a heater. The food was not cooked properly. Poor experience and service
2. Tsewang Nurboo Homestay, Nubra Valley - Excellent experience. The hosts were wonderful and very welcoming. They have given very good service and we're very sweet people.
3. Alpine Cottages, Pangong Lake - Average experience. There was no water in the bathrooms. The service provided was good and the food was tasty. Overall decent experience.
4. Grand Yasmin Hotel, Leh - Good experience and good food provided

B. Driver didn't recommend good local places to eat food. He was adamant and not flexible at all. Overall average experience.

C. Travel consultant - we had asked him to give us a young driver who would be flexible and know the local cafes, but that was not provided to us. He didn't give latest/updated information despite having connections with the drivers and hotels. Overall he was average.

We had a fun trip as we had done our research on local food and cafes. The weather was lovely and we experienced snowfall as well.

Akhil from Lazy Yatra is a great and knowledgeable person who surely understands his trait.
He helped me plan my family trip to Ladakh and was always very helpful.
His suggestions did helped me and entire trip covering Leh, Nubra, Turtuk and Pangong were immaculately planned including the vehicle provided.

Highly recommended Lazy Yatra and Akhil for your travels and also look forward to booking more packages with your team.
Thanks a ton for the memories. Good luck Akhil.God bless!!

Stay/ Hotels:
Our first day stay was at Grand Yasmin which was not at all a good experience. They gave us room which was on third floor, not accessible through lift and was not even well furnished. Though they have given us a better room on our last day stay and experience was good. The food was quite great though.
On our 2nd and 3rd day we stayed at Sanghalay palace and the experience was amazing. The food and staff was very disciplined.
On 4th day at Nubra, we had a 2 day stay at Organic boutique inn. The room was average but the service was quite impressive. The food tastes like home and mouth watering.
On our 6th day we had a stay at Native hut in Pangong.. The room was pretty fine and food was okay.though we were not expecting much from Pangong, tso Moririri and Hanle we were not expecting much.
7th day we stayed in T Pajlor homestay in Hanle and i must say the service and the room was quite amazing as it was very remote area and the uncle and his daughters were very sweet to us. I would personally recommend that homestay to everyone.
On our second last day at Tso Moriri we had stay at lake view hotel, from where there is no view of lake😂. The room was very untidy and had a bad odour. We ordered maggie and it tastes yukkk so even the food was not eatable. It was the worst among all the stays we had.

Driver and Vehicle:
Our driver name was Tsering and he was quite active, he even took us to those places which are out of our reach. He briefed about the spots very well. The car xylo was also clean and comfortable.

Our travel consulatant Rinki... coordinated the trip well and was helpful.

Ladhak:
Finally, on the sightseeing and places visited, Ladhak in all have breath taking views, deserts mountains and rivers all at once, lot of scenic views, military camps, war memorials, border on India Pakistan and China. Overall a must visit place.

Thank You Lazy Yatra for the amazing family trip!!
The entire trip was well planned, both the hotel stays in Leh and the Camp stays in Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake were good! Camps stay at Nubra (De Nubra Camp) was awesome. However, given the low temperatures at night and senior citizens, a cottage stay would have been preferable at Pangong. The Driver 'Dawa' was very professional, sincere and responsible and made sure all the sightseeing's & entire road travel was safely covered. While the Travel Consultant changed for me twice, Vishal Jain was very good with his timely communications.
Would love to travel with Lazy Yatra again!!
