    Swarnalakshmi's 5 days trip to Shimla

    Hi this is Swarna.. Recently we have been to Shimla and Kullumanali trip and it was a great trip except for the hotel stay at Manali. The heater was not working in the bathroom and also the food wasn't up to the mark.. Inspite of complaining about the heater they didn't make an attempt to service it
    . Otherwise it was a memorable trip to us

    Vipin's 4 days trip to Shimla

    As soon as I gave my requirements to Travel Triangle, I started receiving calls from Travel Agents; the only issue was that instead of stating what I have listed as my requirements, everyone was asking me to tell my requirements. This was a bit frustrating. Ms. Janvi from Travel Vichar gave excellen
    t service by understanding my tour preferences and customising my trip accordingly. She was just a call or message away; till the completion of my trip. Hotel was good, service was excellent and as promised good quality jain food was made available. The only issue I faced that Family Suite that I booked was on 3rd floor and hotel doesn't have lift. Cab service was ok. Overall good trip. As Rohtang Pass was closed, a place called Marhi which is around 15 KM prior to Rohtang gave us similar experience as Rohtang would have given. We did skiing, tube slide, snow scooter ride there. Visit to Sissu vis Atal Tunnel (9.5 KM in length) is a life time experience. At Sissu we enjoyed scooter ride to Chandra river and amazing view of heart shaped waterfall. We also enjoyed crossing Chandra river using Zipline. River Rafting in Beas river is a lifetime experience. Visit to Naggar Castel and Shopping in Kullu were icing on the cake.
