Mohitmotwani

Indore

Mohitmotwani's 6 days trip to Solan

Our trip with Travel Triangle was excellent overall. The hotel selections were great, and special thanks to our travel agent Sandeep for his efforts in making our journey memorable and well organized. Our driver Piyush was humble, professional, and made our trip comfortable and enjoyable. However, t

he experience took a disappointing turn on the last day when a different driver was assigned, and the decline in service quality unfortunately affected an otherwise wonderful trip. We hope Travel Triangle maintains consistent service standards throughout the journey, as the last impression matters the most.

Nirmalya Guha

Amritsar

Nirmalya's 7 days trip to Solan

We booked a cab with Travelpedia for a trip to Amritsar, Dalhousie and Dharmshala. The consultant helped us with goof information of the tour to have our vehicle booked. Mr Daleep Singh who was our chauffeur for the trip was a very generous person and a good gentleman. He was very soft spoken and to

ok care of our needs during the trip especially taking us to very good restaurants for our on trip meals. His extraordinary ability to drive on the hills was proved when we found ourselves on a really narrow and steep broken cement road to our way to our Dharamshala hotel. The road where only Altos can go up the steep and narrow road, he was able to take a fully loaded Innova with 7 people up that road, navigating extremely tight hair pin bends. Thank you to Team Travelpedia and especially to Mr Daleep Singh.
