“This is my first formal testimonial ever. So please excuse me for any mistakes. My testimonial is based on our personal experience during our May-June 2007 tour.

Let me start with how the thought of going for Kailash Manasarovar Yatra came to my mind. Every time I discussed about visiting any religious places, my mother always showed her intent towards doing Kailash Manasarovar Yatra at least once in her lifetime. I always had this at back of my mind and wanted her dream to come true, especially when she could physically and mentally enjoy the yatra.

As a part of my hobby, I love to travel to various places and study about various tourist destinations. So every year I visit Travel and tourism fair and collect brochures offered by tour operators and tourism boards.

In my mind I had decided to send my mother for this yatra in 2007, but she would not go alone. Either I had to convince my father or I had to accompany her for the tour. My father was little reluctant to go on this tour due to his perception of various risks involved in this yatra. So my first step was to convince my father that this tour is safe and could be done by anyone with basic level of physical fitness. I also asked my parents to go and meet the tour operator who was very famous among Gujarati community. After meeting the tour operator, my parents seemed more confident about the tour, so much so that they even reserved their seats by paying very nominal advance amount.

I wanted to make sure that they are not in the wrong hands. So I started researching more about the tour operator. I also started going through various pamphlets which I had collected over years. I browsed various web sites and blogs to understand factual information about the place and what was offered by various tour operators and how the tour was conducted.

In the process, I decided to meet few tour operators personally, including the one with whom my parents had finalized. Of all the tour operators, I found Namraj Joshi to be the best. He created very strong first impact in my mind by answering all queries patiently and discussing all factual information in depth. He discussed what preparation needs to be done before going for the yatra. The best part was that, he looked extremely confident and assertive and was very transparent in discussing various risks and uncertainties associated with this yatra. I found this to be missing in other tour operators. Other tour operators made tall claims which I found to be unrealistic. I believe it is extremely important to be mentally prepared to face any uncertainties that may come up during the trip as many such things are beyond any tour operator’s control. Any false claims can lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction amongst the yatris if they are not mentally prepared for the same.

After our first meeting I was almost sure I would want my parents to join Namraj’s group for their Kailash yatra. I even asked Namraj to come and meet my parents personally to build confidence in their mind and discuss the tour details with them. Finally, I and my parents finalized our tour with Namraj.

I feel proud to say that it was our right decision to join Namraj’s group. Namraj is an expert in Kailash Manasarovar yatra. He is conducting this yatra for many years and he knows how to deal with any uncertainties that come up during the yatra. I have seen many tour operators finding excuses when it comes to taking yatris for Kailash parikrama. They create fear in the minds of yatris stating uncertain weather conditions. This creates panic among the yatris who later decide against going for the parikrama.

Namraj ensures that each yatri is aware of the potential risks and uncertainties they could face during the parikrama. He acts a motivator for yatris and tries his best to do parikrama every time he takes a group to Kailash. He wants his group members to get the best out of their tour.

I must say, he maintains excellent relationship with his support team of Sherpa. It is impossible to complete this yatra without active support of Sherpas. Job of Sherpa is so tough, still you will find them to be ever smiling and being very friendly with each yatris.

Each and every aspect of the tour including food, accommodation, travel, support staff, etc is very minutely looked into for making each trip successful. After our Kailash experience, I can confidently say, “If some one wants to do Kailash yatra, it must be done with Namraj Joshi and team”.

testimonial2“I went to meet Namraj ji after following his facebook page on his regular Kailas yatras. In the first meeting I came to know that this man is passionate about Kailas and it’s not just his business taking yatris there. I wanted to visit in July 17 but he advised me to come in Sept 17 and till date I am so happy that I could do this Kailash Manasarovar Yatra and parikrama with Namrajji. Throughout the journey he was constantly looking after comfort of yatris and though at times he was very strict with us but we realized that it was for our safety and in best interest of all yatris. He kept strict vigil on our health throughout. He treated all equal and always motivated all of us from day one that we all can do parikrama without problem and need not worry. And actually we all completed yatra and parikrama without much difficulty. He is great human being and perfect partner for this very difficult Kailas yatra. Apart from Namraji has best support team throughout . Although he has not very marketed himself. Take my word if you are going with Namraj ji to Kailas you will complete yatra , parikrama without much difficulty. And one more thing his sixth sense is very accurate , so just blindly follow whatever Namraj ji says during parikrama as he considers all yatris as his own responsibility. Remember Kailas yatra is a place where money doesn’t matter what matters is your health , luck and off course your tour operator as you tour operator is next to God throughout this yatra , because whether God helps or doesn’t help that we don’t know but your tour operator always helps without fail.

All the best Namraj ji and Going with you to Kailas was my best decision”

Praful Naik, Mumbai

I wish to share something with you all. As some of our members of the Kailash Group of September 2017 are aware, my wife Alpa, my elder brother Maneshbhai and myself had planned for Kailash yatra in 2014 but due to pemit issues, the Yatra did not materialise . Maneshbhai went for the  yatra in August 2017 with another company just a month before our Yatra with Leisure Port. He wasn’t able to complete his Parikrama and had to return from Dirapuk. He was very disappointed  and wanted to go again to Kailash Manasarovar.  As per our experience with Namraj jee and his company Leisure Port in September 2017, I suggested him to join Namraj jee’s  this year (2018)  since Namraj jee always accompanies all his groups . He went with Namraj jee in July 2018 and with the guidance and support of Namraj jee and his hard working team he was able to complete  his parikrama.

Yatris who wish to travel to  Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in a religious qnd spiritual atmosphere, and complete the Parikrama,  then  Namraj jee is  the best choice. We can completely depend on him and he is so dedicated to BHOLE that all who desire to complete the Kailash Parikrama are able to achieve it with him.
I thank him for his support & encouragement to my elder brother during his Parikrama.

Once again a big thank you  to Namraj jee and his dedicated team. Wishing them all the best for his future tours.   May many pilgrims fulfil
their wish to perform the Manasarovar Darshan and Kailash Parikrama.

JAI BHOLE….”

testimonial4“NamRaj ji is truly “ God sent “ made for Bolenath Yatris. He made our dreams come true in 2023. He is very professional, caring and treated us as one of his family member. Everyone in his team from Sherpas to his counterpart in Tibet were extremely good and made our journey very comfortable. We had the best darshan of Bolenath and could not have done without these wonderful people. We would highly recommend him for any Yatra he offers. NamRaj ji, thank you for everything. 🙏🙏🙏🙏”

testimonial5“Visiting the holy land of Kailash Manasarovar was a truly divine and soul touching experience. I am glad to have done the trip with Namraj and his team. The yatra was planned with precision so that every yatri could have their moments with the holy land. Every minute detail of food, stay and the yatri’s health was taken care of very well. Namraj Joshi himself accompanied us on the trek to Ashtapada and the Kailash Parikrama. His undiluted passion for Bholenath and Kailash Mansarovar makes him an ideal choice for your yatra organizer .Thanks to you Namraj and to your warm team of Sherpas for making this the most unforgettable journey of my life. God bless.”

Dr. Urvi Sangharajka, Mumbai

“A blast from the past. Our overland Kailash Manasarovar Yatra group in July 2013 was an awesome experience. The picture below looks straight out of a Yash Chopra flick. One of the accompanying yatris Dr. Urvi had some kind words to express her feelings about the Holy Tour. This is what she had to say about her Yatra to Mount Kailash with www.leisureport.in and Namraj Joshi.

My visit to the Kailash Manasoravar in 2013 was one of the most spiritually uplifting experience of my life..
A zillion thanks to Mr Namraj Joshi and the Leisure Port team for making this yatra the most memorable one for me.
The facilities provided by them from pick up at Kathmandu to accommodation to darshans, medical facilities,smiling and helping Sherpas and staff 24 x 7 was incredible. Despite being the only Jain yatri (in a group of 15 pax), I had no issues of Jain meals even for a day !

Mr Joshi’s high regard and love for Mount Kailash surely made a great impact on me and all the others. It was only due to his loving care , confidence and faith that I could do the ASHTAPADA and KAILASH TREK despite unfavorable climate!. He was never hesitant to walk an extra mile or change his schedules to make his yatris comfortable and happy!

He and his team undoubtedly are the IDEAL CHOICE for this once in a lifetime journey.
THANKS A LOT.
God bless!!”

testimonial7My Kailash Yatra

Since long time I wished to do the Divine yatra of Kailash Mansarovar. In search of right travel company to do the soulful journey, I came across a Kailash Mansarovar Yatra on Facebook and Later on with Mr. Namraj Joshi of LEISURE PORT.

We booked our tour with Mr. Joshi in 2014 for the Guru Purnima but due to certain reasons the tour got cancelled. Mr. Joshi returned all the trip money deposited for our tour within next week of tour cancellation.

Later on I came to know that this Chinese year was special for Tibet people and they were there in large number due to these reason Chinese authorities stopped Indian yatris going via Nepal. Later on heard about the stories of Indian yatris waiting in Nepal for 2-3 weeks and then returning without doing Yatra.

At that time, I realized how important, timely and transparent was Mr. Joshi’s communication was and how it saved us from getting in trouble if we would have reached Nepal and suffered as other yatris who could not do the yatra.

At this point we decided in future whenever we get a chance to do the yatra, it will be with Mr. Joshi only.

With the grace of Lord Shiva, this year all things got in line for me to take this Journey, I contacted Mr. Joshi for the yatra at a very short notice (although going through the experience of other yatris It is always better to book early) and the tour was on for me. I booked for helicopter tour Ex Lucknow as road yatra through Nepal is stopped after earth quake.

We did not communicate more as at that time he was in Kailash with some other group but all the things are taken care.

His ability to communicate all the things which can go wrong and preparing us for the trip was excellent. We had our share of bottleneck during the yatra but nothing was surprising. I’d seen some people from other groups losing their cool at these interruptions as they were not prepared for this but we were mentally prepared for this.

After reaching Nepalganj, getting flight to Simikot, helicopter trip to Hilsa are all weather dependent and we got stuck in Nepalganj for two days but these things are beyond anyone’s control and Lord Shiva can only help us out. But after We leave Simikot everything was as smooth as it can and the whole experience is divine. No words can explain the yatra.

Although Mr. Joshi was not with us on the yatra since he was committed to another group, but he came till Nepalganj and coordinating with our guide on every day to ensure we have great experience of the yatra.

mandiraThis man is the face of Victory ✌️ Namraj Joshi….Bhole nath yet Rudra nath , Pashupatinath yet Gorakh nath….the mysteries continued throughout the divine expedition to Kailash…..he shepherded us all through all the obstacles high and low…..and revealed Mahadeva and Gauri in the parikrama ❤️🙏😍 thank you Namraj ji for all the mystical and adventurous experiences into the sacred land and all the lessons learnt along the way, and immense gratitude to this completely incredible bunch of humans who came together to walk the most divine trek on the planet shining through it all 🙏❤️

Ms. Purnima Pande, Mumbai

Namraj ji, we travelled with you to Kailash Mansarovar in 2017. Even today, every moment of that journey and the parikrama remains vivid in our memory. You and your team took such wonderful care of all of us that we almost forgot the exhaustion of the trek, the biting cold, and the challenges of the difficult terrain—and simply stayed in high spirits throughout.

In that extreme cold, the comfort of receiving hot khichdi and soup in our rooms brought a kind of relief that is hard to put into words. Your kindness, supportive nature, and confidence played a huge role in making the entire journey smooth, successful, and safe.

That is exactly why, whenever any friend, companion, or acquaintance talks about undertaking the Mansarovar Yatra, we instinctively recommend your name without a second thought.

Ms. Pushpa Raghavan Auckland , New Zealand

Memorable divine moments, in having you Namraj, my young little one, as a student in late nineteen seventies, playing your role as our ‘torchbearer’ on our pilgrimage to Kailash.

Ms. Vasanthi Srikanth, Telangana

Namraj Joshi – The one who had brought me here. The one who had made this entire divine journey possible. The one who helped me experience something far beyond a physical
pilgrimage.

He bent slightly to look through the cab window. There was a big, warm smile on his face. He didn’t say a word. He simply raised his hand and waved goodbye. In that silent moment, something within me felt complete.

For a brief second, I did not just see Namraj. I saw Lord Shiva in him. It felt like a father standing outside, smiling gently and waving to his daughter as she returned to her responsibilities in the world. A quiet blessing. A silent reassurance.

As the cab slowly drove away, I held that image in my heart. And I silently prayed that Namraj continues to give every yatri the same magical experience that I was blessed to witness.

Because some journeys are not just about reaching a destination. Some journeys are about meeting the divine along the way. And for me, the journey to Mount Kailash was exactly that. A journey where Shiva walked with me every step of the way.

Please send us your queries and we will get back to you.
