    Esha's 6 days trip to Kedarnath

    We booked the trip with navicrow holidays. Their excutive mr.sunil helped us with exact itinerary & hotels. We got all the required details well in advance. The team was constantly in touch with us throughout the journey. I highly recommend this agency.

    Esha Joshi Mumbai

    R's 10 days trip to Kedarnath

    Travel agent, driver and car were extremely good. Not much to say about hotels. There are better hotels available for the same or lesser tariff. Nothing can ever be better than journey through the Himalayas. Sheer magnitude of the ghats are mesmerizing. I strongly recommend people to take up char dham Yatra

    R Kiran Gaikwad Bengaluru

    Sk's 10 days trip to Kedarnath

    We were given a nice deal by 1 point 5 billion agent. Hotel were with basic amenities but were clean. Locations of the hotels were good. Hotel Routela in Barkot, Hotel Inder Palace in Uttarkashi, Hotel Om Kutir in Badrinath ji, Hotel Sachin International in Rudraprayag were nice but Guptkashi Hotel New Pandey Inn should be changed to other hotel. Cab Swift Desire was nicely maintained and clean. Driver Mr. Ajay was quite experienced. We were only two persons(my mother and myself) so swift desire is nice But if you are 4 or more then Innova/scorpio is advisable to have higher ground clearance of the chassis for more comfortable journey. During the chardham yatra one should start early the cab journey everyday around 6am to avoid the peak rush hours while going and coming back and thus one can come back in hotel before sunset. Travel agent 1 point 5 billion Mr. Sandeep is very smart in planning and was giving prompt and efficient service. As I wanted to go to Kedarnath ji by Helicopter so he advised me that next day while returning from Kedarnath, I should directly go to Badrinath ji instead of going/staying back in Guptkashi. There by I saved one day and thus my total duration of Yarta was 9 days and 8 nights. I have already recommended and one of my known family friend Mr. Jha already planned their chardham yatra in sept 2019 with 1 point 5 billion. All days/darshans were memorable during the trip. But the best part was that we did our chardham yatra during Navratri and apart from having darshans normally in all char dhams , we did manage to have Kedarnath ji and Badrinath ji darshan in same day on 7th october 2019

    The Do Dham Yatra for 5 days is good. The tour operator is very supportive. Shivangi the trip advisor is very good and helpful. Hotels are good. Food of Sersi & Kedarnath is very good as home but the food of Badrinath & Pipal koti is so so. Overall the trip is very good and satisfying. Thanks to Travel Triangle and Shiv Darshan tour.

    Shailesh Sriv Dehradun

    Priti's 5 days trip to Kedarnath

    The car and driver were ok. The hotels at phatta was average but clean, but the food was too basic. the tent at kedarnath was very unsuitable for the climate there, the facility for toilet was very poor. Even at haridwar, which is a proper city the food was too basic and average. we had asked for hotel in the city near to the activities. after being assured of the same, we were provided with the hotel on highway too far from the main city.

    Ankit's 10 days trip to Kedarnath

    Provided hotels were good at most of the places. Cab was not clean and we requested multiple times with the agent but response from Navicrow (Mr. Yash ) was very rude as he dont have manner to speak. Also there was an urgency during trip and i called him 4-5 times and also messaged him to call me back but no response from his side and cab was very dirty till 5 days. Mr. Sunil was helpful since beginning but seems like things after bookings are not in his hand as it was handled by Yash. Same hotel was provided which were promised. Char Dham is fabulous place and each hindu must visit to complete one of the Dham and also to see the beauty of Uttarakhand.
