It was an 9 day trip to shimla manali dharamsala and dalhousie. It was an amazin (Read More)g experience over-all everything happened very smoothly. The driver, Sumit bhaiya was very patient and respectful he was very punctual and felt safe to travel with. Our travel advisor, Swara was always available for us and made sure that nothing went wrong. It was an all girls trip so it was a safety concern but everything went really well. Hotels were posh and clean with an amazing balcony view the budget was also very reasonable. Everything was almost too perfect to be true!
We weren't informed about the kufri sightseeing charges that may add up and also (Read More) the condition of solang valley before the trip, it may have been very normal for the people there but we are not from that side of the country so we were expecting a full information handout before. But later on it was managed well by the driver and Swara ma'am. The hotel in dharamshala was not upto the mark, the staff over there was a little creepy and we had paid for a deluxe room with balcony for the view but the room was very small and the toilet was very dirty. Otherwise all hotels were nice and the ambience were also great. The food at jde mountain, dalhousie was not good at all we literally ate domino's for those 2 days
