So on behalf of everyone in that tour group, let me thank you and your counterpart at Sikkim NH 10, Mr.Dheeraj Jaiswal for organizing this pilgrimage that was rewarding and worth every money we paid.

kolkataI recently concluded a fantastic 8-night trip across North, East, and West Sikkim, and I recommend NH10 Tour and Travels. A special shout-out to Dheeraj, who is an incredibly nice person and a true professional. He managed the entire tour seamlessly, ensuring that everything from the itinerary to the logistics was handled with care. Traveling through the diverse terrains of Sikkim can be a challenge, but Dheeraj’s management made the whole experience smooth and stress-free for my family. The coordination was top-notch, and the personal touch he brought to the service really stood out. If you are planning a visit to Sikkim and want a well-managed, reliable team, definitely go with NH10. Only Cons - He need to groom his drive Bala for little more.

GUJRATThe service provided by Mr. Dhiraj was incredible. From picking up my guests from Bagdogra airport, Nathula - Changu lake the next day was very memorable. The local sight seeing next day was equally very good. The tea garden en-route to Darjeeling was beyond words. The driver was very punctual through out the trip and was very soft spoken. I wish them all success.
