Onkar was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. I enjoyed the Hindu temple and its beautiful art and his explanation of its meaning. I don’t usually like zoos, but this one has the Himalayan vulture, a very funny looking bird I wanted to see, and the bigger animals have space like outdoors, not in cages. My favorite thing was very lucky, we did the tea tasting at the tea coop with the factory manager and I learned so much from him. I highly recommend this tour. I might add that we had a great and patient driver as well.

Palampur is offbeat place and having separate charm as compare to other hill station. Love tea tasting session,boatride ,zoo and other attractions. Try this tour with @himachal By locals Team

Had a great time with our tour guide in McLeod and Dharamshala. Our guide Ashish is a very experienced professional who knows well the history and culture of the area. We visited a number of temples including Dalai Lama's temple, the largest monastery in the area, went to the waterfall, enjoyed our time at the market and tasted a delicious Tibetan cuisine. Ashish is a great person and professional who will make sure that you will have a wonderful experience.

The guide who accompanied was well versed with the areas and was very open to communications, knew in and out about the place. The highlight was the bagsu falls, he said it before hand that the climb is demotivating but once you immerse your feet in the cold water you will be rejuvenated. The guide showed us every nook and corners of the city with such immense sense of joy and pride as such showing his own house to a newcomer.
