Kept in touch with us by direct calls or WA messages right through our trip. Ved (Read More)ic planned out the trip nicely. All drivers were instructed by Vedic on the trip details.
Everything was well planned out, so we do not have any reason to complain.
Even on 2nd October when most of the tourist vehicle drivers were off-road for their most important festival, Vedic managed to get a vehicle for us within a very reasonable time. No complaints from our side but only compliments!! Was supposed to provide a Swift but was provided Innova!

Specially I would love to appreciate about our last day. We left the hotel at 4 am. The homestay gladly packed our breakfast so early in the morning. All our family members were really delighted at such services.
Nothing much. the rooms provided for the last night at Mirik were smaller. It wo (Read More)uld have been better if similar standard is maintained at all places. There are many beautiful places at Mirik. I would have appreciated if we were provided a homestay near such beautiful places. (outskirt). Also it would be better if one driver is maintained for the whole trip. We had 3 different drivers for this 5 nights trip. We are lucky that all 3 turned out to be good.
Also there was a last minute issue on our last day when the driver was dropping us off at the airport. Someone called the driver and asked the driver to stop the car as he didn’t get money from agency. Then I had to call the agency and ask them to clear the payment as we had already cleared all the payment on the 1st day. The issue was quickly resolved by the agency but we were in tension for 5-10 minutes. So such incidence should be avoided.
