Yogesh's 6 days trip to Shimla

I had travelled to manali and shimla. the tour operator had properly arranged the trip. the driver was a safe driver and was also polite in nature. only thing lacking for the travel car was no adequate space offered as the car was cng. i had made aware of this to the travel operator but he kept say

ing that this had to be told before boarding the cab. the your operator helped to arrange for a carrier on the car on the 5th day hotel in manali was too good in rooms and good options. the hotel in shimla was very good for food.

Veeratejavalluri's 5 days trip to Shimla

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. Th

ey 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
