REVIEWS “Of course what made our trip in this beautiful but hostile topography a rocking success was the team of Incredible Spiti (Mr Vishesh Shourie). These guys know thier terrain inside out! Special mention to our driver who negotiated those tricky hairpin bends which elan and style ! At Kaza, I would recommend staying at Sakya Abode (Kunphen). While the facilities are basic, Mr. Tsering Bodh (owner) makes sure that all his guests are looked after and attended to. The added incentive is playing audience to him when he is narrating the local folklore :) “ “Normally I do like to plan my trip myself, but one day I stumbled over this website of Incredible spiti run by two fine persons Vishesh Shourie and Tsering Bodh and I decided to take their help to ensure a smooth trip and they didn’t prove us wrong , they not only helped in customizing our trip according to our wishes starting from the choice of stays, places to visit but also gave us an insight which only a local could have. “ “About Tsering & Vishesh from IncredibleSpiti(our tour organizers): These both are amazing people. They give flexibility to the clients on their selection of itinerary and hotels. At times when you wanted to change existing place from the itinerary, then they come with dynamic itinerary(Pretty Cool). This is a lot helpful for us during our trip. We had cancelled one hotel and shifted to the other. For this we were reimbursed the money for that hotel. Both are credible.” “While I was there, the Pin side had “Having availed of their services, I flooded away and my mountaineer friend group were headed that side. Incredible Spiti team informed them well in time - which was a huge relief as many people had washed away, and also they helped arranging things for my friends even though they were not using their services. A lot of travel agencies call themselves expert in Spiti - but this is the only team I saw at work while I was there. All the work even from Manali was outsourced to them” would not hesitate one bit to recommend the guys at ‘Incredible Spiti’ – customised travel and adventure solutions provider for the Spiti region. The success of my trip owes a great deal to Vishesh Shourie and his team's meticulous planning, good selection of vehicle and hotels and a continuous drive to ensure that we had a great time. It was also wonderful to see how they handled a last minute change in itinerary owing to the closure of Kunzum La. Without them we would have been probably stuck.” CONTACT US Email: Spiti@IncredibleSpiti.com Mobile: +91 9650675505 Whatsapp: +91 9650675505 Thank you!
