Our family of five recently enjoyed a fantastic holiday to Mussoorie, Tehri, and Rishikesh from the 18th June 2026 to the 24th June 2026 and we are extremely grateful to Three Sixty Holidays, Dehradun (Read More), for making it such a memorable experience. Our special word of appreciation for Dear Harish Rawat, whose personal involvement, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident throughout the trip. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand our requirements and curated an itinerary that perfectly balanced sightseeing, relaxation, and family time with slow pace. The hotel selections were excellent and every aspect of the journey was managed with professionalism and care. Our driver was kept in contact to make our travel comfortable, enjoyable & free of traffic jams. From witnessing the scenic beauty of Mussoorie and the tranquil surroundings of Tehri Lake & Dam to experiencing the spiritual charm of Rishikesh, every destination exceeded our expectations. What made the difference, however, was the peace of mind that came from knowing that Three Sixty Holidays was always available to assist whenever needed. We sincerely thank Harish Rawat and the entire team at Three Sixty Holidays for their outstanding hospitality and impeccable service. We would highly recommend them to anyone planning a holiday in Uttarakhand and look forward to travelling with them again in the future. Warm regards, Rajiv Saxena & Family Agra
