About Us
Ours is an organization brought into existence in the year 1996 by a group of
young but professional entrepreneurs from Ladakh. Wisdom Adventures created
a platform for the curious travelers who are enchanted by the sheer attraction
of mighty Himalayas.
Wisdom extends their services to introduce them with the vast geography, beautiful
people, the rich culture and age old traditions of the Himalayas, thus creating
a positive image about Indias unity and its diversity.
Wisdom Adventures is dedicated in promoting Environmental-friendly tours specializing
in organized package tours for individuals and mass complimented with its quality
& quantity travel related services.
The aspect of cultural fusion by rich interaction between the local
inhabitants & visitors has been the prime motto & consideration of Wisdom
Adventures.
Being Ladakhi, Our in-depth understanding of its people and customs of the region
help us to formulate tours and treks that is positively sensitive to the area
and its people.
Thus the traveler can return home enriched by the experiences that go beyond
those of the ordinary tourist, which is the reward for our services.
Why Us
There are many tour operators who offer travel to the Himalayas. Why should
you book your trip with us?
First of all, we have over 18 years of personal experience in the tour business.
We are based in Ladakh and also maintain a state-of-the-art office in Delhi.
This second part is important for several reasons:
Many consumers may not be aware that the Himalayan states
only allow locals
to operate within their regions. This means that no matter what travel company
you come through, if you are booking a tour for the Himalayas,
we are the
last service provider.
1. Let us show you the normal flow of services that begins once you book a tour:
2. Since we are a local agent, but also have our own office in Delhi (available
24/7), we can help you eliminate two "middle men."
We always offer the same
high quality of service whether you come to
us through our valued overseas agents, Delhi agents, or directly. But if you
book directly with us, you can save some cost and minimize any potential communication
errors that can occur when too many people are involved in arranging a tour.
3. If you book through us, you will also
benefit the local Himalayan people
directly. All the services and manpower we use are strictly locally based.
That means local guides, horse men, porters, homes, hotels, village vegetable
vendors, provision vendors, and taxi drivers, to name a few. Your business then
directly and indirectly flows to all the local families of the people who are
involved in your tour. Ladakh's tourist season is dream-like short. The income
that is earned during this time is all that most villagers will have to sustain
them through the harsh 7-8 months of winter.
4. We give all of our valued customers as
transparent and clear a picture
as possible of the services that we will provide prior to contract. We ask that
you specify in detail the requirements and expectations you have for the tour.
We encourage open and frequent communication with us to clarify what you really
want. We then do our best to meet or exceed these expectations and also to rectify,
on-the-spot, any unforeseen problems should they occur.
In the unlikely event we are unable to provide any services that were agreed
upon in the contract, we make refunds
before your departure.
5. Last but not least, we emphasize that if you want to visit the Himalayas,
spend time with Himalayans. Deal with Himalayans. Work with Himalayans.
You will emerge from your trip with a deeper understanding and appreciation
of the area. Let us show you what we are taught by our culture:
"The
Guest is next to God!"
Who can show you the Himalayas better then a Himalayan?
Letter from the director
Dear friends in Adventures!
This is our first presence on the World Wide Web but ofcourse not in the
trade.
We feel proud to be in the family of Adventure lovers and share our experience
with you all. All our tour itineraries are specially formulated after observing
many facts and interest of the travelers and the uniqueness of the region.
Many tour operators sells tours that are too much of a schedule, visiting
in haste; one destination to the other, click! click! click! End of the tour
Our core motto at Wisdom Adventure is Meet and Share. Our experience
in the field and the region for the last 17 years compels us to give the best
of the region to our valued client.
One of the famous Guru quotes: When you are in Delhi your mind is in
Agra, when you reach Agra you are busy planning and thinking of Jaipur and
when you reach Jaipur you are worried and planning of your next destination;
Goa
You were never there where you have been because your mind was never
there
and at the end of the tour, all you have is a load of photographs,
and through them you try to memories your presence there
.
We say
Just be there
, feel and interact and leave your footprints
on the sands of time
Interaction is must! May it be with people, nature or your inner-self
In our tours your first interaction starts from Delhi international airport
where you will be met by our airport representative staff who expertise and
knows Delhi in and out. All our tour guides are native from the region itself,
they are young but serious on their job and we are sure that you will never
feel bore with them. They will take you to the villages, houses, deep in mountains,
no-mans-lands and will introduce you to local fames, head of the village,
princes, Kings, nomads, living oracles and high lamas.
It is normal when our tour guides will suddenly change the itinerary route if
he/she finds there is a marriage or local archery or even a funeral is going
on
. dont be surprise if you find yourself in the middle of one such
activity enjoying/experiencing and participating
just handover your camera
to our guide and Just be there he will do the clicks!
We are not a mega big tour operator but we are dedicated and efficient. Because
of our limited clientage we are able to give more details to our clients itinerary
with much of a personalized services.
Today our network expends from Ladakh, Himachal, Sikkim, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan,
Uttranchal, South of India. Of which our Delhi office being the nuclei of communication
and coordination of all the tours.
At last we would like to thank all our valued clients from all over the world
that we served and their lovely letters which we get time to time, encouraging
us to traverse through the unknowns and the mystery of mother Earth. We are
just the road that you walk-upon, experience is unique and yours!
Yours in Adventures,
