Hotels recommended by agent were very low quality. Highway Inn recommended at Banikhet (6km away from Dalhousie) was a substandard hotel. Location was very bad .infront of Bus stand. No place parking as well as boarding the Vehicle. Rooms were too small and restaurant is very congested.This hotel is surely not for Family stay. Even this hotel do not have any facility for drivers. This is OYO hotel. The Castle hotel (near bagsu temple Road) at Dharamshala is also a OYO hotel. Rooms are quite big but staff is not professional. Restaurant is average qual...

Ours was a last minute decision to see Manali. Don’t regret it a bit. My family wanted both a chill d and an adventurous trip. As soon as the requirement was put in the travel triangle app, we received some very good quotes. Selected Paradise travels for the prompt follow up by Mr. Shubham and the reasonable pricing though it was season time. The trip was customised according to our requirements. We had an amazing cab driver Mr. Dharminder who thankfully did not chew Paan .

Overall experience was good. Team did good follow-up and provided us good service. Especially Himachal Pradesh trip was arranged nicely. Small hiccups were there while traveling Agra and Delhi. Car driver was so arrogant and not friendly. He left us near bustop and asked us to wait till bus comes. We were bit worried as we are new to that place and it was night time. Iternary they provided was not well planned. It had somany places which we can't cover in one day. And in one place we waited for 2 hr in hotel reception for rooms. Usualy hotels check-in ...
