  I just had a trip in north sikkim with thus agency. The owner is highly professional and amicable. We had an excellent service of hotels and cars. The only concerning issue was the food. The arrangement of food was not satisfactory and it should be upgraded. So if you can arrange your own food ( specially lunch and dinner) , the other offered services are excellent.
