I am very glad I took the chance and booked this trip. Sumda Chung is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. A small, very old monastery, tucked away in the remote mountains, everything was covered in snow and ice when I visited, but the skies were clear and sunny and the atmosphere completely still and pure. The journey there alone was worth it - past the frozen Zanskar and Indus rivers, surrounded by the most incredible mountain beauty. Mountain Homestays were also really organised and helpful. They replied quickly to all messages and made every effort to ensure everything ran smoothly. This isn't always the case in Leh (!) so I'm very glad they were so kind and thoughtful. They are also a social enterprise, so the proceeds go towards improving conditions for rural families. All in all, I can completely recommend both this tour and Mountain Homestays. If I visit Leh again, then I will be sure to do more with them as they really stood out as being so helpful. Can't recommend it enough!
