Himani Uniyal Noida

Rajeeb's 4 days trip to Wayanad

I booked the package tour before I month of my Tour. I was very excited about this tour. My tour was from Aluva (Kerela) to Munnar and Thekaddy in Kerala. It was a road trip from Aluva. I will give my genuine Feedback. I had a discussion with Mr. Digipal Jee from Travel Triangle and Mr. Ankit from the local travels company. I would like to say that the vehicle (Desire) which was assigned to me was not up to the mark. The AC was not working properly. The temperature was very high but anyways I managed. But my Blood pressure was high when the driver asked me money for petrol. They don't even have the communication that I have paid the entire amount to Travel Triangle two days back. Thereafter I called my so called agent Mr. Digipal Jee and Ankit Jee, thereafter the issue got resolved. This shows that they are not professionals and Poor Communication between their travel agents and travel triangle. My Hotel bookings in Munnar was at "Hotel Star Emirates" it was a 4 Star Property but here also the same issue no communication on the payment matter. The receptionist asked me about the payment and here also I called Mr. Digipal Jee and Ankit and clarified that the entire amount has been paid to Travel Triangle before two days back. My family was suffering and we waited for 1 hour for Check-in. Poor Co-ordination. Now review on Room. I stayed their for 2 Nights and till my entire stay the Intercom (A Major source of Communication within the Hotel) was not working. When I complained they just told that it will be rectified soon. But till my checkout the Phone was out of order. They gave me duty manager's contact number and asked I can call in this number if anything is required. But when my son tried calling in this number to order Noodles for him the phone was not responding at that time. I waited for 10 mins in my room but i didn't recieved any kind of response form the hotel end. It was my big mistake to book my Package from Travel Triangle. I am sorry I will never repeat this mistake once Again. They also charged me Rs. 1000 extra because my son's actual age was 13 instead of I mentioned 12 Years while booking this package. The Gentleman from Travel Triangle Mr. Digipal Jee called me directly and asked to pay Rs. 1000 extra at Hotel only because my son is 1 year more elder than what I register. My point is I managed lot of non-cooperation from the travel agent but they can't managed a single mistake from my end. Thanks Travel Triangle for all this....I will never ever repeat this kind of mistake in my life.

Hiteshvijay's 4 days trip to Wayanad

It was a pleasant experience, very well organised and very helpful people. Hotels at munnar was little far away from Munnar, however it was good. The cab person and the car quality was excellent. The Breakfast items at Munnar was a bit concern as very limited options. It is better to book hotels without breakfast, as it is too costly. Overall a good experience and can again plan with you.

Rvaishya's 5 days trip to Wayanad

Overall it was a well organised trip. Thanks Comforts for taking care of travel and setting up the iteniary. Hotels were clean and comfortable except the Houseboat. Only thing I wished it could have been better would be stay and good in Houseboat. Very limited option in Houseboat. Food didn't had any variety. Also, I booked honeymoon decoration which was missed by the houseboat team. Overall, it was good. Appreciate driver which took us most of the places as in iteniary. Munnar was excellent. Driver was friendly as well.

Swaminathan's 6 days trip to Wayanad

Exotic trails (and especially Pradeesh) made the whole journey splendid, smooth and quite an enjoyable one. He was knowledgeable abt the places, had engaging conversations, very helpful and resourceful during the entire trip. He was quite flexible with timings, punctual, cooperative and adding value to the itinerary. With his knowledge and travel experience was able to drive around different routes/places and made the trip a memorable one..I would recommend exotic trails/travel triangle to my friends Toy train, thalaauveri, mandapatty peak
