Was there anything you should have known and were not told?     (X) NO     (   ) YES Please give more details to explain your response What could we do to improve this ride? None How would you rate the difficulty of this ride out of 10 where 1 is very easy and 10 is very advanced? 8 Please explain why you scored it as you did The ride was at a steady pace at walk due to the difficult terrain. Altitude could be an issue Would you recommend Unicorn Trails to your friends?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Please give more details to explain your response May we use you as a reference for other people wishing to go on this ride?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Any other comments Ladakh is known to be called " Little Tibet ". However in our view we found what we wanted to see of Tibet in Ladakh and not in our Tibet Trail. So full marks for Ladakh ! Unicorn comments
