    Siddharthapappala's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

    Turn on Vacation delivered an exceptional travel experience, turning potential disaster into an unforgettable Himachal adventure for our group from South India. Mr. Sandeep, our dedicated coordinator, went above and beyond when our May 2025 trip fell through due to Operation Sindhoor and war-relate
    d flight cancellations. He tirelessly negotiated hotel extensions until year-end, ensuring we didn’t lose our dream vacation—his persistence made all the difference. Despite multiple date changes on our end, Sandeep remained patient, consistent, and intuitive, crafting a flawless itinerary covering McLeodganj, Dharamkot, Dharamsala, Dalhousie, and beyond. He understood the challenges of North-South travel, securing amazing deals on comfortable stays, scenic routes, and hassle-free logistics that made everything feel effortless. The trip exceeded expectations with clean, scenic hotels, delicious local cuisine, reliable cabs, and well-timed visits to breathtaking spots like Solang Valley adventures. Sandeep’s attention to detail—from personalized recommendations to real-time support—created lasting memories we’ll cherish. Highly recommend Turn on Vacation for their professionalism, warmth, and commitment—5/5 stars! Book with confidence, especially with Sandeep leading the way.

    Prashanth's 5 days trip to Dharamshala

    We had an excellent family tour of North India, and the entire credit goes to our tour operator Mr. Sandeepji from turn on vacation, for his outstanding service and constant support throughout the trip. From the very first enquiry to the final airport drop, he was highly responsive, and patient in
    answering all our questions and customising the itinerary to suit our family’s needs. Every arrangement—excellent hotels, good transport, and sightseeing—was well planned and executed on time, which made the journey completely hassle free for us. Our driver was courteous and safe, and the vehicles were clean and comfortable, which was important as we were travelling with children and elders. What impressed us most was the personal care: regular check‑ins to ensure we were comfortable, flexibility whenever we wanted minor changes, and immediate help whenever we needed any clarification or support. Thanks to him, we could simply relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about anything. We would highly recommend TURN ON VACATION to any family looking for a reliable, honest, and professional partner for their holiday, and we look forward to planning our next trip with him. Thanks Mr Sandeep for your excellent coordination, support... Kudos to you
