This eternally snowbound pass puts up the snowy mountains of Kinnaur Kailash range on the no hern side while the Rupin valley in the south.

Diwan Chauhan I have known Reetu and Jamila for many years and have worked with them in the past. But this was the rst time I decided to travel with them as a pa icipant. When Reetu told me about exploring Spiti in winters I was completely on board. The itinerary sounded exciting and the pricing less. S my friend Manish and I immediately signed up for it. One of the best decisions I ever took. Spiti in winters in beautiful. The 7 days with the team was wonde ul. We spent our days driving around the valley and our evenings dancing to pahadi songs. The planning was pe ect with utmost care given in the choice of stay and comfo . Of course the highlight of the trip was spo ing a snow leopard. Overall it was an amazing trip and I am looking forward to join many more with The Great Escape
Shravan Kumar Poshe y Should I describe with “pe ect planning” / “meticulous coordination”/ “cordial organiser”...might be with all of it. Flawless execution is what makes them unique and organiser Reetu Yadav has let all of us experience it with her executional capabilities... Accommodation:-5/5 Coordination:-5/5 Welcome:-5/5 Clarity n ow of communication:-5/5 Accommodation cleanliness:-5/5 Food:-5/5 (delicious) Comfo in Mode of Travel:-5/5 Action in Emergency:- very swi 5/5 Team has proved that its not all about the commercial trip but also the cause which is concealed in their carryings. What we pay at Flemingo Reso at Dholavira goes to educate and for taking care of more than 400 students and their boarding facilities as well. Its not over yet, you will be pleased to meet the gi ed souls from remote villages who are manifested in their respective disciplines like Rogan A (Hon’le prime minister himself have gi ed one to Barack Obama), Wood A and Bell A , Textile etc. You will get to eat the delicious food made out of love from the local (A1 class food). O all, well planned itinerary and the execution is commendable. We RoK team who depa ed on 12th Dec’19 are truly happy with the onsite organiser Reetu Yadav and the o ine backbone Jamila Kapasi who took good care of each of us at every stretch. Their intact a rmative relation and proper delicacy in their execution makes then unique. My best friend is much impressed with their proceedings and that makes me much happier than ever. Last but not least, am fo unate to have rest 13 of the pa icipants as pa of my extended family. Again the credit goes to TGE. Kudos to the team and i look for fu her association with “THE GREAT ESCAPE” ( you have already give our team a great escape from the routine. Way to go TGE team!!!
Kumar Tarur Parameswaran Such great detailed planning at micro level and being open and upfront about the tour details impressed me at the very sta . They lived up to their promise in every which way. TGE’s expression of their solidarity towards the cause of the villagers by ge ing travellers to interact with them in a lively way and help the villagers in their livelihood was one of the primary reasons I chose to travel with TGE. TGE means immersive experiential travel and what you get in return and come away with are unforge able lifetime memories. Looking forward to many more tours with TGE. Reetu and Jamila pull your collars up. Way to go! You will go miles!
Roopal Nagaria The great escape recently took care of my 10 days family trip to Bhutan. We were 9 of us, including 2 kids and 2 elderlies. Each detail of the trip was so beautifully planned and coordinated. Jamila was personally in touch with drivers, hotels and homestay owners to ensure we ar ge ing the best of experience. We never even had to look for directions, call hotel or tell driver about anything. Everything was already taken care of and we were just the guests in very true sense. Such a wonde ul trip it was. Everything was so beautiful including all the places where we stayed. Much thanks to Jamila and the great escape team to make it work like magic for us! 100 stars!!
