Dhitesh's 5 days trip to Wayanad

"I recently booked a 5-night, 6-day package to Kerala through travel triangle and had an incredible experience! From the initial consultation to the final farewell, the team provided exceptional service, tailoring the itinerary to our preferences and budget. The package was well-curated, covering the best of Kerala's attractions, from the serene backwaters to the stunning hill stations. The accommodations were top-notch, with comfortable stays and delicious local cuisine. What impressed me most was the attention to detail and prompt communication throughout the journey. Travel triangle ensured a seamless experience, taking care of every aspect, including transportation, activities, and even surprise elements! I highly recommend travel triangle for their professionalism, expertise, and passion for creating unforgettable travel experiences. If you're planning a trip to Kerala or anywhere else, look no further! Rating: 5/5 stars." AND SPECIALLY THANKS TO OUR DRIVER / GUIDE SHIJO POULOSE FOR PROPERLY GUIDING US ALL OVER THE TRIP.

Amruthkumar's 4 days trip to Wayanad

I am facing a problem with person who is dealing with me(alan John) about this travel. Because he tell the package of two persons is 24,000 but at the time of payment the page shows 24999. I initial paid 8600(600 for convience fee for two persons). The amount he told that conversation happened in the call unfortunately I am not recorded that call for reference. Because of that I pay extra amount of 1000 rupees. This is not the correct way because the person told in the call will be different and in the quotation it is different. I am not checked the quotation properly because of trust on that person. I see only the iternary of my journey in the quotation.
