Lasting Impressions:
Dear Ranjana, Our tour to Leh and Ladakh in June 2009, turned out to be our dream tour and The Caravan arranged this programme very nicely. Our staying arrangement in “THE KAAL” Hotel was very nice and comfortable. Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley and Khardungla Pass were really fantastic. The night stay at the tent in Nubra valley was remarkable. The last but not the least your local representative, Mr Sonam and others were very good and well behaved. With thanks ~ Bidyut Bhattacharyya and his family Keya and Somrita, Kolkata. |
