Clement L2024-10-20 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 D2024-09-08 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!

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.

Dreamer497832538212023-06-30 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. Vebhu Bhatnagar2022-06-22 Wonder Experience Our trip to Leh & beyond was well planned & executed by Rigzin Agndu Mountain Adventure.The stay & food was good.They also had good support for medical services. Akansha M2021-06-27 Nice experience Organize ur trip with mountain intelligence the guide is so good nd the ladak trip give us best experience of my life James I2019-08-28 Stok Kangri Rigzin and his team were fantastic on our trip. We arrived in Leh and he arranged everything for us, a nice hotel, taxi rides and a visit around all of the fantastic sites before attempting Stok Kangri. He also helped us get all the gear we needed to climb. The actual expedition was everything we had hoped and very well run. Safety was paramount and the guides carried oxygen and ensured we were okay at all times. Food was lovely and all water very hygienic. Unfortunately we didn't quite summit because of challenging weather conditions and altitude sickness but we will be back and using the same company because Rigzin and his team were fantastic!
