5.00Great trip. Thupstan was a very knowledgeable and honest guy. He talked about all the fascinating details of the monasteries and the Ladakhi culture in general. He arranged for a nice lunch as well. The driver Lobzang was also a good guy and drove us around safely. Would highly recommend this to family and friends
