Review of Indian holiday Pvt Ltd

We had group trip to leh from Srinagar.

We had group trip to leh from Srinagar.
Actual tour coordinator were c tour. And these were just middlemen. There was no proper planning of trip. Our guide was always in hurry to show us places and take us to hotel.. (Although he was good person and he gave us our medications at leh as we were unable to climb stares up and down many times) And it was actually tiring to visit places with travelling. All hotels were somewhere far from main places. Srinagar stay (Hotel Ash Valle) was worst in terms of cleanliness of the rooms and basic amenities also far from main places and we were told we will get stay in houseboat. Leh stay (the kora leh) was not good in terms of it was too far from market place and 3 storied building without lift. We had to fight to get 1st floor rooms. And no wifi except near reception.
The tempo traveller arranged for pangong was horrible. Very congested seating and had some issue with engine. Gearbox used to create smoke when on third or fifth gear. It was scary.
Pangong stay we were expecting near to lake but it was on hill and almost 1.5 km from lake. We had to walk down and climb back to see sunrise as driver didn't come.

Giving Two stars only for the stay at Mulbek and Nubra which were awesome although at remote locations and no ameneties nearby.
And our detour from group to tso moriri went well just driver didn't know place very well so had to skip our lunch.
Also the river rafting experience which was not included in itinerary. But even that could have been at Zanskar river if properly planned.

The C tour person at Leh who was our local tour manager (Mr. Mutup) had no basic sense of talking. And had no solution to our problem than arguing. Very arrogant.

About food..There was fixed menu for breakfast and dinner through out the trip egg, bread and dry pohe, aloo paratha for breakfast and one paneer sabji, one aloo sabhi, roti, rice, dal and vermilicilli kheer as dessert. We had no choice than eating these all 10 days. And yeah.. for lunch for most of the days we had to stick to maggie. As either lunch used to get finished by the time we reach or the place where we stop happens to be unhygenic where we can't eat other things.

I won't recommend IHPL to anyone. We can have better arrangements at same cost and no headache for fighting.
