Sandeep's 5 days trip to Shimla

Over all trip was very good. We enjoyed a lot in first 2 days at manali. In shimla hotel they provided during 1st day the room is very bad and the way to the hotel was also very Dangerous. The driver faced very difficult to ride because it is very narrow. The hotel at shimla which is given to us not recommended. If they travel with ALTO CAR then fine other vehicles can't go. Over all trip is good. Snow fall at atal tunnel is very good. Very best moment in our life

Ishani's 3 days trip to Shimla

The overall experience was average. The hotel was not up to the five-star standard as mentioned by the travel agent — the Wi-Fi was not working during our stay, which was inconvenient. However, the hotel manager’s polite and helpful attitude stood out and was much appreciated. The cab driver was punctual and maintained a polite and professional attitude throughout, which made our travel smoother. That said, I believe the travel agent should take more care in understanding the client’s needs and clearly communicating the reality of what’s being offered, rather than overselling. Transparency builds trust and is more valuable in the long run than just making a sale.

Manikanta's 8 days trip to Shimla

It was 10 days family trip with Travel Talkies, and it was one of the best travel experiences I've had. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the journey was filled with scenic beauty, adventure, spirituality, and culture. Special thanks to Manisha Raghuvanshi for coordinating throughout the trip and fixed issues immediately. Treated us like a family had close communication each day in WhatsApp and call. Travel Talkies covered Shimla, Kufri, Manali, Kullu, Kasol, Manikaran, Dharamshala, Dalhousie, Wagah Border, and Amritsar and it was absolutely amazing! From scenic view from Shimla and snow-capped mountains in Manali to the peaceful vibes of Manikaran and Dharamshala, the scenic beauty of Khajjiar, and the patriotic energy at Wagah Border, every stop had something unique to offer. The entire trip was smooth and well-organized comfortable cab, good hotels with mountain view (except small issues which handled well by Manisha), and a very friendly and skilled driver (Gian and Ravi Thakur made our journey smooth and intresting.
