Adiga's 4 days trip to Kullu

Very good experience of waiting in Bus Stand for 4 hours. Had informed to book the earliest departure bus to Kashmiri Gate, Delhi. At first 5:30PM bus was booked (in the middle to last row even after requesting to book in first 3 rows). Then the travel agent called and said that they have booked another bus at 7:10PM as the bus operator is accepting our tickets. Not sure how they accepted at first and then rejected. Also the 7:10PM bus last stop was at Majnu Ki Tila from where there is no Metro. The travel agent is teaching us that both Kashmiri Gate and Majnu Ki Tila are near. But we don’t have a Metro connection to Majnu Ki Tila and that the cab to Airport cost us Rs. 800 instead of Rs.240 via Metro for 2. Also we had booked a flight to Bengaluru. Would the team refunded the flight ticket if we had not reached the airport early? No memories. Just waiting in Bus Stand for 4 hours

Sandeep's 6 days trip to Kullu

Diksha was our travel agent from travel triangle who planned the iternairy, she was quite flexible to accept our change requests based on my needs. We were given multiple hotel options to pick and choose, she also followed up the entire tour to check if we are doing fine and enjoying the trip. We enjoyed the trip, the hotels were good with good scenic view as demanded. Food was also very good at the hotels. Only issue is tourist places are far off and you spend more time in travelling . I would suggest to book for 6 night and 7 days incase you are planning for Amritsar, Dalhousie and Dharamshala

Upendrabarnwal's 4 days trip to Kullu

I booked the Kullu Manali trip for my parents as an Anniversary gift through Travel Traingle. It was a 3 Days, 4 Nights trip and cost around Rs. 20,000. The travel agency, Travelpedia, was very accommodative and Mr. Vikas helped with all queries. The Hotel Lotus Inn Rohtang View was spectacular, provided for a decent stay with great food. The breakfast and dinner was complementary with the package. The Hotel star was very helpful and ensured me parents faced no problems. The cab driver was also good. Though, he was trying to cut short the trip at times due to bad weather. Despite that, he navigated well through the hilly terrain and scenic places. In the end, I'd definitely recommend you to book through Travel Traingle for your upcoming trips. I too am looking forward to another adventure. My parents had got their luggage locked out mistakenly. The Hotel staff came to the rescue and provided required assistance to unlock it. XD
