Mani C2025-01-29Verified Ice climbing It was a amazing experience, I was a beginner and rigzin helped me a lot to climb my first ever wall. They had all the gears and I always felt safe. Will do it again when I am in leh. Clement L2024-10-20Verified Incredible Experience in the Himalayas I had a truly unforgettable experience climbing all 6070m of UT Kangri with Rigzin, supported by his team from Mountain Intelligence. Rigzin provided incredible help in pushing me up the mountain despite the going getting tough for me, especially in the final 500m of elevation or so. My acclimitization was not the best (my fault) and so the altitude was a challenge. Nonetheless, Rigzin supported me every step of the way and helped when he was needed the most. On the descent, I accidentally fell into a river and suffered some cuts and abrasions. Rigzin and team went out the way to send me to a hospital and got me checked. It goes without saying that I could never have made it up and down safely without their help!I wish them all the best and definitely look forward to the next adventure with them! William Dickens D2024-09-08Verified An incredible time in the Himalayas We had an unforgettable experience touring Ladakh, all thanks to Rigzin and Mountain Intelligence. From the moment we first inquired, their team stood out for their quick, prompt responses and excellent value compared to other operators. Our entire trip was seamlessly planned, from airport pick-up to drop-off, with every detail in between—accommodation and the itinerary—carefully organized to suit our needs. Rigzin and his team made everything feel effortless, allowing us to fully enjoy the stunning landscapes and rich culture of Ladakh. We can’t recommend Mountain Intelligence highly enough for anyone looking to explore this beautiful region. Thank you Rigzin for an incredible trip! Alpine Trail2024-09-08Verified Amazing UT Kangri Expedition with an Excellent Team I just returned from an incredible UT Kangri expedition at 6070 meters with Mountain Intelligence Company and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The trip was perfectly organized, and everything went smoothly thanks to the fantastic team. Rigzin, our main guide was outstanding. He is a true expert in mountain climbing and made sure we were safe every step of the way. His experience and careful planning helped us reach the summit and get back to base camp without any issues.The whole organizing team did a great job with all the details from the gear we needed to the logistics. They made the whole process easy and stress-free.If you’re planning a high-altitude adventure, I strongly recommend Rigzin and his team. They made our climb an amazing experience and I’m grateful for their hard work and expertise. Thanks Rigzin and Mountain Intelligence for a fantastic adventure!

Jose MarÃa S2023-09-03Verified A memorable tour in Zanskar We just completed the "Ladakh Zanskar Expedition" by Mountain Intelligence.What a magnificent experience! Losal, our guide and driver, made of this a memorable trip. Being a Zanskari himself, his insights about everything we were seeing along the way were priceless. An excellent an calm driver, he safely drove us across Zanskar all the way to Srinagar in Kashmir.Zanskar is such a beautiful territory. We can only wonder how all the new roads and construction will transform this beautiful and still remote region. As for now, it preserves the beauty of nature in its most overwhelming and magnificent form.

Dreamer497832538212023-06-30Verified Unforgettable stay in Ladakh We spent 10 days in Ladakh and it was really great. The visits were well organized. The monasteries and landscapes are magnificent. We started the Markha trek but asked to change itinerary en route because of a health problem, and Rigzin proposed a great alternative route that allowed us to discover daily life in a Ladakhi village. We really enjoyed our stay in Ladakh with Mountains intelligence Treks.
