Awesome adventure, special people
We had a universally excellent experience with the whole team at Dreamland and we cannot recommend them highly enough. They were efficient, friendly, cheerful, informative, and responsive and everything went exactly according to plan - which has not been our experience with other operators in India. We booked our trek from Australia and via email exchanges were able to work out the best plan for our family (we have 2 boys aged 9 and 10 years old). All of the team were great from the guys who picked us up at the airport to Javeed, the owner. We did a 4-day trek including a 4,900m pass (Stok La) and the team (guide, cook, assistant cook, pony guy) were very cool, from the 6am wake-up cup of tea delivered to our tent, to the delicious meals each night. They were particularly generous to the kids, making sure that they had suitable food, playing cards with them, chatting and joking, as well as pointing out things of interest along the way.
Back in Leh, after the trek, one of our boys got a stomach bug he couldn't shake easily, and needed to see a doctor. Although we were no longer their responsibility, both Javeed and our guide (Achuk) came with us and helped negotiate our way to a doctor who spoke English. They were genuinely concerned and keen to ensure that Matt got the attention he needed.
We all had a fabulous, memorable experience in a spectacular part of the world, mostly as a result of the cheerful attention, professionalism and local knowledge of the Dreamland team. We would recommend them to anyone and many operators in more developed parts of the world could learn from their example.

Unforgettable Family Holiday Trekking with Dreamland Trek & Tour
"Nous vous conseillons vivement l'agence "dream ladakh" qui nous ont organisé la totalité de notre voyage familial (2 parents et 4 enfants (de 15 à 22 ans) en Inde (depuis notre arrivée à l'aéroport de New Dehli avec visite de Agra Tasj Mahal et alentours en 2 jours jusqu'à notre retour à l'aéroport de New Dehli) et au Ladakh (15 jours). Ce fut un voyage extra-ordinaire! L'agence est très compétente, ouverte à toute proposition, réactive et rassurante. Avant d'entamer notre trekking Lamarayu-Chilling (1 jour de repos)-Chansumdo (11 jours), nous nous sommes acclimatés 3 jours à Leh. Les 3 jours pleins d'acclimatisation sont essentiels (Leh est à 3.500m d'altitude - prévoir granules COCA en homéopathie, somnifères pour les premières nuits et diamox si nécessaire). Les 3 premiers jours nous avons visité Leh, les monastères aux alentours et avons emprunté le 3ième jour la route la plus haute du monde (point culminant 5.600 m) en voiture (en très bon état) avec d'adorables chauffeurs. Si vous souhaitez de plus amples explications sur les monastères et le boudhisme il peut être intéressant de demander un guide spécifique pour les visites des monastères les explications des moines sur place étant laconiques. Nous avons logé à l'hôtel proposé par dream ladakh qui était très bien (bonne literie) et qui avait l'avantage d'être situé à côté de l'agence (le seul ennui c'est les chiens qui aboient pendant la nuit dans cette partie là de Leh).
Le trekking s'est très bien déroulé pour nous 6 grâce au guide et son assistante (charmants et très compétents). L'excellent cuisinier et son assistant nous ont fait de délicieux repas très sains et variés et fourni tous les jours de la bonne eau de montagne (bouillie pendant plus d'une minute pour tuer toute bactérie).
Les tentes étaient très confortables et le staff très aidant. Des petits chevaux portaient nos bagages et le matériel et étaient menés par de très gentils meneurs ladakhis. Nous avons fait l'ensemble du trekking en 11 jours mais si vous avez un peu plus de temps, nous vous conseillons de le faire en 13 jours afin d'être plus relax et de mieux répartir les heures de marche. Nous avions également demandé qu'un cheval nous accompagne, ce qui a permis à la maman qui manquait de souffle de faire les ascensions à cheval et aux enfants d'être portés lors d'une foulure ou maladie passagère. En bref, ce voyage aventureux nous a permis de voir un pays où vivent des ladakhis charmants et authentiques, ou la nature est intacte et les paysages à couper le souffle. Ce pays nous a tous émerveillé et transformé."
Dreamland was just beyond expectation!
Jaap de Graaf Recommends January 1, 2013
Last summer I went with two families (4 adults, 4 children) to Ladakh in India and did a trekking in the Markha Valley (9 days). The trekking organisation we took was Dreamland Trek & Tour in Leh. This organisation was excellent in every aspect. The information on the site and through email was clear, quick and to the point. The organisation of the trekking was 100%. Good staff, new gear, lovely food, strong and healthy horses, friendly guides and a ecological approach. They just finished a garbage cleaning trek in the valley so that everything is cleaned up.

Our typical day of trekking is based on an average level of client physical fitness coupled with the nature of our weather and terrain. This could include very warm days during summer, high passes, and the need to move between campsites which ensure adequate grazing for the ponies.
- 06:00 Bed tea is served to your tent. A great way to warm up before packing up your gear.
- 06:30 Hot water is provided for your morning wash.
- 07:00 Breakfast is served
- 08:00 Your personal packing is complete and your trail lunch is available to place in your day pack. Your guide will go over the day’s travel plans highlighting those areas along the route you will want to visit.
- 08:15 Off on the trail with your guide, or with instructions as to the route and where he will meet you if he needs to assist with pony packing (dependant on party size).
- 12:00 Lunch along the route, often in a meadow or beside a stream. A typical lunch might consist of a sandwich, juice box, cheese, boiled egg, boiled potato, apple, cookies or chocolate bar.
- 17:00 In camp with a pot of tea after a great day of sights and trekking. The tent is up and you are making notes in your journal and taking photos of the picturesque landscape.
- 18:30 Supper is served. Time for more tea and, perhaps, an early bed.
Expect to have rather lengthy days of travel with plenty of time to take photos and look at the scenery, visit tea tents or local villages as you pass through. You will have plenty of time in camp each evening to meet with other travelers, compare notes, read a bit, take photographs or visit surrounding villages or sites either before or after your supper is served. By starting early you will have made substantial progress in the cooler part of the day, and will be able to take your time ascending the passes which can be up to 17,000 feet (5,180 M) on some routes, arriving at your next camp with some reserves of energy for the evening.
