Thank you Memorymakers vacation(kailash)for making our sikkim tour awesome and memorable . Package was very economical with good hotel and cars.
Overall the trip to North Sikkim with memorymakers vacation was good enough. Package cost was nearly appropriate. Without a good car and experienced driver any hilly terrain tour is not a pleasant one (Read More), but here they provided very friendly and well-behaved driver to us. In other services, the hotels (in Lachung they should change the hotel 'Sewaro Inn" for hotel owner's poor service) provided by them and hassle-free response with them in any doudts ir issues really made us happy with Memory Makers Vacation....
