5.00As a solo, female, English-only traveler, I am so glad that I booked I M Himalaya. I booked my own hotels but at the last minute, I decided to play it safe and book a tour since I was traveling alone. I reached out to one company and didn't hear back so then I reached out to IMH literally 24 hrs before my flight. The office responded immediately, contacted me everyday to make sure everything was going well and even made sure I got home safely. My guide, Deep, was friendly and easy to talk to and both of our drivers were great. I definitely recommend them and recommend reaching out directly if the packages online do not match what you're needing. They were very easy to work with and I will recommend them to my friends.
Perfect

5.00We had an amazing Sikkim–Darjeeling trip with I Am Himalaya and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The entire tour was very well organized, from hotel stays and transportation to sightseeing and local guidance. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. They explained the local culture, history, and places beautifully, which made the trip even more meaningful. All destinations were covered comfortably without any rush, and special care was taken to ensure our safety and convenience. Hotels were clean and comfortable, the vehicle was well-maintained, and the itinerary was perfectly planned. Thanks to I Am Himalaya, we were able to enjoy the natural beauty of Sikkim and Darjeeling stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone planning a memorable Himalayan trip! 🌄😊
