Testimonials

So it all started to plan a an amazing trip to mesmerizing Leh, and we got to know about FootLooseGypsy through a friend. I think that was the second best decision I took for this trip, first was to go on this trip . For the much awaited Trip with my siblings and hubby. Amish, the one man army for, has nurtured his relations with everyone whom you will meet in the trips he plans. An extra care and more smiles will come across you. Leh is so beautiful in its own self, but with Amish's plan, it has a Cherry on top. The home stays are awesome, food is simple local fresh and delicious. When we headed to Turtuk, the nothern most village of India, i felt that this place Made my trip, esp the waterfall trek.
Would love to plan more trips with you Amish. I have heard so much about you from everyone there, would love to meet you !!
You are welcome to Bangalore anytime !!
Wish you many more to come in your future endeavours.

I happened to check my Facebook for updates and saw Amish's post on his trip to West Bengal and Sikkim. Within few minutes I called him and confirmed my trip with him to this heavenly and not so explored place of Sikkim and West Bengal, I would rather say Gorkhaland.

This was my first trek, had it not been to the motivation and support given to me by Amish and Naveenda our friend from the hills, I would not have made it till the end. We had a most wonderful guide, whose knowledge of the woods and sense of humor along with the taste in music made the journey a sweet memory that I will cherish all my life.

Raw nature, amazing people, meals simple but delicious and the whole journey was like a dream come true. Every place that Amish had planned surprised me and I must say this that I have know him for years now but I really had no idea of his kind of travel, now I feel blessed to get a chance to visit such beautiful treasures of my country.

Each home stay that we stayed was unique, driver for Gnathang Mr. Namgyal was great.

I am not too good with words but I would say if you love nature, culture and food, do visit Sikkim and if you love to trek Sandakphu -Sangalila trek is most amazing..

For all the arrangements contact one and only Amish Shah. Thank you Amish

What a holiday! It was truely a great experience
The anxieties of visiting a new place like the North East for the first time were put to rest as soon as me and my husband landed in Guwahati and headed off to our first destination Cherrapunjee. The driver already had a copy of our itinerary so there was perfect coordination. Amish drew up a good itinerary that gave us ample time to explore the places and also to rest.
The guest houses that he booked for us in Cherrapunjee, Shillong and Kaziranga were amazing! Rather than staying in typical hotels, we prefer local guest houses or home stays with a history and a good story that help us connect with the locals. We got just that! Gracious hosts, yummy local delicacies, comfortable interiors with amazing views....just the way we like!
Amish ensured we were on track and enjoyed the specialities of each place by being in touch throughout the trip. Thank you Footloose Gypsy for a wonderful experience and will look forward to many more!

Footloose Gypsy! Where do I begin? Penning down a ‘few’ experiences won’t quite do it, so here goes …

It was the 12th of August, at midnight, when my husband, surprised me with the news of a holiday; a pre-planned holiday coordinated by none other than, Amish, the only Footloose Gypsy I know Since it was the first time I wasn’t involved in planning our holiday, anxiety did get the better of me. But, as unexpected as it was, this was, without doubt, some of the most memorable and most exhilarating 11 days of my life!

To start off, Amish had prepared us very thoroughly for what was in store—he gave us complete information and ensured that our expectations of the weather, the stay and the adventure were spot on. He thoughtfully picked out round-trip flights that were well-connected, economical and reliable.

We reached the Leh airport only to bump into a bunch of friends (I kid you not! Amish had thoughtfully coordinated this trip among a group of friends who had lost contact over the years) and a warm welcome by the Footloose Gypsy team, replete with local tradition, a friendly and informative cab ride, welcoming Uttariyas and Ladakhi nashta (breakfast).

Footloose Gypsy funneled down our holiday with the most breathtaking sights and the perfect blend of adventure and comfort!

Over, the next 11 days we saw the quaintest of monasteries (Thiksey & Deskit), visited the humblest and most colourful palaces (Leh & Shey Palace), admired some massive Buddha statues (well… does a 49-foot statue do it for you?), presided over two of the highest motorable passes in the world (Khardungla & Changla), explored some very interesting monuments, ruins & attractions (Shanti Stupa, Druk Padma School, Magnetic Hill, Gurudwara Pathar Saheb, Hall of Fame Museum), swam and rafted across the coldest waters (River Zanskar), witnessed the bluest waters (Pangong lake), got the closest we’ll ever get to Pakistan (we lived in a little village, Turtuk, a stone’s throw from the Indo-Pak border), explored the Nubra valley on Bactrian camels … (catch your breath) … I mean, seriously, have you really run through a field of flowers (as Bollywood as that sounds)? Eaten the sweetest apricots and apples off roadside trees? Lived in tents at -1°C? Witnessed the majestic K2 peak in the early morning? Rolled down sand dunes? Touched snow in an oxygen-deprived mountainous area? …

Dearest Footloose Gypsy, just writing this testimonial makes me nostalgic and forces me to relive the crazy adventure you took us on. It still seems unreal… almost like the magic carpet ride from Alladin! You’ve touched our lives and given us memories that we’ll cling to forever! Nobody could’ve ever built half the holiday you created for us! Right from the friends we made and the brilliant cab drivers we were accompanied by … to the blue waters of Pangong, the snow-covered peaks and the crazy mountain treks, everything was just flawless!

I’d recommend you any day for the whole experience - the accommodation, the adventure and tour, the food, the hospitality, the company, and importantly, the price!

11 on 10 to you, Footloose Gypsy! I can’t wait to plan our next adventure with you!

All the best! May the sky be your limit!
