Kriti – India

Was very beautiful and mesmerising experience. Its a short flight. But the staff on board take their time to explain the peaks

Amber – United States

We had our original flight cancelled due to visibility, but Himalayan Social Journey made the re-booking process completely painless. A couple texts later and we were re-booked for the next day. It was around a 1 hour flight and each passenger had a window seat. Amazing views and very easy process, would absolutely considering going again.
