EXCELLENT Based on 101 reviews Karan Ayachi2025-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was one of the best decisions we ever made, obviously second to deciding to go for a Ladakh bike trip! The experience was amazing, the whole Aquafire team was warm and welcoming and their marshals gave us a riding experience that we cannot ever forget. From stays to food to bikes, everything was awesome. At the end they also arranged for a small cultural event where we could experience local Ladakhi culture and get involved. If you are looking for a travel partner for your Ladakh trip, and want to have a smooth experience, look no further, Aquafire Adventure is your one stop solution. Cheers, JULLEY!

Thanka to all life time Memory Spiti Ride... ❤️💖😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Vishal Uppal2025-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just completed our Spiti trip with Aquafire Adventure, and it was an absolutely memorable experience! The entire journey was handled with perfection. The ground staff took care of us like family, making sure we were comfortable and supported throughout. From the very beginning, everything was well-organized. On the first day, we were picked up from Chandigarh, and when we reached Manali, we were pleasantly surprised to see each bike labeled with our names — a thoughtful touch, especially as we were a group of 15 coming all the way from Bangalore. Every day began with a detailed briefing, and our marshal was truly outstanding. He guided us through the entire circuit smoothly, including helping us navigate tricky water crossings. The stay arrangements, backup vehicle, and overall coordination were top-notch. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Aquafire Adventure for anyone planning a Leh or Spiti trip. Kudos to the entire team! Jobson Joseph2025-05-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
