Trip to Karnataka
Most memorable trip for a newly married couple.. Ooty weather and rain awesome for coupleTrip to Karnataka
I booked this tour package for my parents and their trip was awesome. At a very competitive price, travel triangle offered me this package. Driver Mr. Harish is very polite and well aware of the route and helped my parents in all manner despite of time. Special thanks to Ms. Ramya from "Lee Vacations" who has provided my parents a safe and pleasant journey throughout their tour.. :) My parents completed a nice trip that's a good memory for me..:)Trip to Karnataka
I really liked my travel experience. Everything was so well managed.. because of rain I did not get to see few best places in Ooty..like Big hills and Dubare elephant camp..but all in all it is memorable trip. Hotels provided were also good in terms of hygiene and test of food. Benchmark Tea and chocolate factory in Ooty, Rose garden, few glimpse of Deears and Elephants while traveling from Bandipur national forest ( Ooty to Coorg )Trip to Karnataka
Overall good experience. Travel triangle helped at inital stages as well as on journey.Trip to Karnataka
Except COORG LAGOON resort the hotel services were very bad! No response from house keeping staff! Rooms were also far below expectations! I think my money was wasted at Mysuru and Ooty hotels! Coorg Lagoon was fantastic and a 5 star feedback from every aspect for the resort and staff!Trip to Karnataka
excellent experience if you Are peace loving person then only visit coorg. climate is good ,peaceful and romantic. not much places to visit. club mahindra Resort environmentTrip to Karnataka
Hotel in the Ooty was worst experience. Hotel was far from city,with no maintenance at all.Gyser was not working for hot water.Trip to Karnataka
Had a memorable & enjoyable family vacation of Karnataka in June 19', well coordinated by Travel Triangle people. Value for money trip.Trip to Karnataka
They didn't provide the houseboat which was there in the package. Although after calling, they changed it, but the agency should have kept an eye on the houseboat. Our round to backwaters was spoiled because of it, obstructive view, bad smelling, less area for identifying scenic beauty.Trip to Karnataka
Trip was nice. Only issue is dinner in Woodstock villas was average .price quoted for trip seems to be costly Irrupu falls ,elephant camp
