Moupiya's 5 days trip to Shimla

This is our 3rd trip with Travel Triangle. But this time trip was not as we expected as earlier trips. Could have been better. Itinerary was well planned arranged by Travel on Ease and our driver was very professional and polite. Problem was the poor coordination among the local coordinator ,driver and hotel. Detailed information was not shared with driver about hotels ,bus timing, itinerary etc. We had to wait till last minute for Bus details from delhi to manali and vice versa on which our inter linked travelling journey to Odisha was dependent. Had to call several times for the Travel Details n Timing. We checked out from hotel in kasol and waited for the bus details from 1.30 pm to 7 pm in a restaurant which was very irritating. No details received for further plan. Similarly while travelling from delhi , had to wait in delhi for manali bus details for 11 am to 6 am.Just 1.30 hrs before we received bus details. If we had received details earlier we could arrange hotel for rest and check out hotel accordingly. Manali Hotel "Yaato Retreat" was great. We spent 02 days there in manali. Great service, behaviour, location near mall road. Overall great service. Also thanks to Travel on Ease for the arrangement of Cake on our anniversary day. A big thanks to them. Kasol Hotel Devlok International was also good.location is at the kasol market place.Room view was great.Service was good.You can roam around the market area nearby and visit some famous cafes. The stay was comfortable. Had a very good experience except the starting day and the last day. I would suggest for the customer taking the bus booking from delhi to manali in your own scope instead of any agency in order to avoid the last minute rush. This is also a suggestion to Himachal agency if you can't share the bus details before 01 day then don't take the bus booking in your scope as it creates a big rush confusion and tension in customer part which ultimately destroys all the beautiful memories collected in the trip. Customers forward journey from Delhi is dependent on our itinerary shared timing. Please do share all the details with timing at least 01 day prior so that they can plan accordingly without wasting time sitting idle and plan accordingly for forward journey to their convenience.

Prajakta's 6 days trip to Shimla

Booked Amritsar Dalhousie Dharamshala tour with ideal tours. Services of Hotel Sawera Grand at Amritsar were pathetic. The travel agent wanted us to remind her of the trip as she was busy with personal commitments. We had to wait for hotel rooms as the hotel was not informed about early check in. Despite full payment to the travel agent our check out was delayed as hotel was not paid. Driver drove recklessly in ghats causing motion sickness. The travel agent had no clue about booking at Wagah border and other trek details. Hotel DLS at Mcleodganj and Hotel Ark at Dalhousie were good.

Saikiransarabu's 4 days trip to Shimla

Our first 8 family friends trip(total 31 members) to Himachal we were really confused and scared to choose earlier as we don't know Hindi properly. And it was a big group them we found Travel Triangle they connect us with 3 different Travel agent. And then we found Travel on ease really professional and experienced in north side. And we were right it was a great choice for us. they treat us like a family. We were traveled with our old parents and toddlers but they really took care of everyone. Ms Baby ma'am and Sahil Sir was the person who initially connected with us and later Mr Adarsh take a charge on tour. We made so many memories our parents are really happy.. they see the snow first time in Manali. Hats off you Travel on ease
