What Our Adventurers Say

Real experiences from real travelers who explored the Himalayas with us

"Many thanks to Lobsang for making my stay at Zanskar unforgettable! It was an exceptional experience: breathtaking scenery, new encounters, relaxed atmosphere, experienced drivers... With Zanskar Kanishka Expeditions, you’ll only have nice surprises!"

β€” MJ V,

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Everyone knows that Ladakh is an amazing land… but what truly makes a journey unique are the people who travel with you β€” the ones who make you fall in love with their land, who make you feel safe at all times, and who play with you along the way.” We found all of this on our journey with Zanskar Expedition… thank you!” Rita & friends"

β€” Rita G, Delhi, India

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Travelled through Ladakh with three other dharma friends for 7 days with a local guide and driver (from Zanskar Kanishka Expeditions). Both the guide and driver were able to communicate fluently in English, and share a lot about the history and culture of the area. Since our group was interested in mainly visiting the monasteries, they were able to cater the itinerary towards visiting authentic and sometimes remote monasteries and mediation caves in the Ladakh region."

β€” Sandy

"It was the best moments of my life having travelled with the agency. The agency should be your stop for sure if you're looking forward to do trek, tour and hike."
