    Veeratejavalluri's 5 days trip to Himachal

    I recently took a 6-day tour to Shimla & Manali with Turn on vacation, and it was an experience to remember. The whole trip was well-planned, beginning with a comfortable cab journey and hassle-free hotel check-in. The hotel had beautiful views of the mountains, and the rooms were clean and cozy. They had a properly planned schedule that involved going to Kufri, Shimla mall road, Solang Valley, Hadimba Temple, Manali Mall Road, and adventure sports such as paragliding. They made the trip easy for us. They were always ready to help and made sure everything went according to schedule. The food arrangements were also commendable, with delicious meals served throughout the trip. Overall, it was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and sightseeing. I’d highly recommend Turn On Vacation for anyone planning a trip to Shimla and Manali especially for couples
