I was 15 when I had my first trip thanks to meraki diaries. It was one of the most magical experience in my life and I am so glad I had Meraki by my side. I felt safe and excited to know more about the places which was thoroughly enjoyable. I loved every bit of thr trip and felt more than just welcomed by Meraki. From the hotel room to sightseeing, Meraki deserves 12 on 10 stars. Every tiny bit was planned before and it felt even more mesmerizing to follow exactly what was given in the schedule. Meraki has helped me develop my love for travelling and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Worry-free adventure travel!!!
My first trip with Meraki Diaries to Leh Ladakh did not disappoint! Journey with Arunima ( AK) was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She took us through a well-prepared itinerary over the course of the week. I liked the balance of group activities and time on your own. The pre-trip communication was also excellent and provided a full picture of what to expect while you were away. The entire experience was fabulous, from learning about other cultures and to the accommodations to the quality and quantity of food.
Active Adventures puts on a first class trip and I can’t wait to go on another with them. Highly recommend!
AK and her team made sure that the trip is well curated for women traveler. Amazing experience to witness some real gem places. Travelling with MERAKI is a gift I gave to myself. I think everyone of us deserve such travel gifts.
It was a wonderful experience so was the coordination. Kashmir is heaven. It was an adventurous experience. When we came down after the 10 km sledging the Meraki representative was standing right there. We didn’t have to wait or search for him, he took us in a car and we left for another location. The detailing of every arrangement was awesome. The entire group was amazing & friendly, and very courageous people I met during this trip. Arunima thank you for this amazing trip.
I have so many wonderful experiences that I never thought I would have. Everyone in the group was very helpful and nice. Even the guides, drivers, and Meraki representative were so nice and hospitable. The group treated me like family. I got to experience something that I have never done before and I am so grateful to Arunima mam for organizing this, It couldn’t have been possible without her. She is so meticulous and so good at improvising under circumstances. She took care of us so much. I big thanks to her.
This was the kind of trip that amazed you with everything, it’s like you don’t have to be strict on the same schedule. Your request is been honored and respected in every way, everything is well taken care of. I was traveling alone for the very first time and I was very worried but Arunima went to a great extent to make sure that everything was in place and I felt very safe and comfortable. The tour guides and the drivers, everyone was great throughout. It was a great experience for me. I am looking forward to doing more trips with Meraki Diaries.
I was an introverted person before I came on this trip with Meraki but when it's finishing I have started expressing myself more freely, and have become kind. Thank you, Meraki for giving me this opportunity to see the place with so much simplicity.
