Santanu's 6 days trip to Dharamshala
It was my second trip through Travel Triangle and I am quite happy with their service. The trip of Himachal arranged by the One point five billioninches was amazing. We enjoyed the trip to the fullest. Special thanks to the agent Ansh Mehta as she was very cooperative and guided us at every point of time during the trip as and when required. I would suggest every one, those who are planning for Himachal tour, they should definitely go with One point five Billioninches. -- Thanks & Regards Santanu DasGouri Mogare

Piyali's 7 days trip to Dharamshala
I am very happy with travel triangle and the packages and suggestions offered. The feature of assigning three agents and ability to compare price on website is also good. Happy with the service and follow up and all the help. The only reason I am not giving 5 star is that I was charged 2200 extra for the trip even after the final invoice was generated with confirmed hotels. The reason given was hotel has increased the price after wards for the said dates. The complete trip was memorableUday Kumbhar

Suresh's 5 days trip to Dharamshala
We have travelled from Manali to Shimla by cab. The driving was not good, completely it was rash driving. So please ask drivers to drive perfect and slow, so only family will enjoy without any worries. Cab drivers are not knowing English, so that it was difficult to manage. Manali climate was too good.Want best packages handpicked just for you?
