For me traveling is as essential as water is for plants (not that water isn’t important, it definitely is, but I’m hoping you got the reference.) It’s something that helps me learn & grow, I love doing, and enjoy utmost. It’s been a lot of years since I have been traveling, mostly in the Himalayas, and I can’t imagine my life without it. So now, when both my wife and I had to escape for a refreshing break, the Northeast seemed like the perfect holiday destination to us.
It was while we were listing down the things to do on a Northeast holiday, my friend recommended TravelTriangle to us. Their smooth booking process and unique holiday planning came in handy and ensured that we had a kick-ass time together!
