    Easy go vacation is an ideal choice and they gave best suited itinerary for the duration I preferred. Be it the booking agent Aman or drivers who accompanied, they executed the tour without any communication gap and on schedule. Snow games at Hamta pass, jakku temple visit and kufri are worth eve

    Nasi's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

    Our family vacation from Chennai to Manali was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to Travel Vichar. They organized everything seamlessly, ensuring we had the best of everything. The luxury resort they booked for us was nothing short of amazing, offering an eye-catching view that made every morn
    ing special. Special mention to our driver, Ankush, who was incredibly friendly and professional. He took us to all the must-see spots and patiently waited for us to fully enjoy the sightseeing. His punctuality was commendable as he was on time every single day. Ankush also recommended some delightful local foods and good restaurants that added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. Overall, Travel Vichar made our vacation truly memorable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

    Shri's 7 days trip to Dharamshala

    We had initially contacted Sandeep(who was our travel agent). We were convinced immediately once we talked to him, we asked him for Video Call to see the Shimla and that gave lot of confidence with the travel agent. His communication is so profesional, and arrangements were as promised. Clean new
    model Crysta, as promised mountain view stays. What's more good thing was he was super responsive no matter the time he used answer our calls and clarify things. Most importantly the affordability, they had given great deals when compared other agency for a similar experience. Thank you, 1.5BillionInches team.
