    Desiga's 2 days trip to Mumbai

    We recently went on a spiritual trip to Shirdi through TravelTriangle, and the experience was truly wonderful. The package included a flight from Chennai to Pune and a comfortable car journey from Pune to Shirdi. Everything was well-organized — from travel to hotel to temple visits. We had a peacefu
    l and fulfilling darshan at all the temples. Overall, it was a smooth and memorable trip. Based on this great experience, I would definitely choose TravelTriangle again in the future. Highly recommended!

    Sanchita's 4 days trip to Mumbai

    We recently returned from a customized 3-person trip to Mahabaleshwar and Lonavala arranged by TravelOnEase, and the experience was nothing short of wonderful! A big thank you to Kewal and Komal from the TravelOnEase team for curating a smooth and well-paced itinerary that matched our preferences p
    erfectly. Right from hotel bookings to sightseeing suggestions, everything was handled with care and professionalism. They stayed in touch throughout to ensure everything was going well, which made us feel truly looked after. Our driver, Sachin Dongre, was polite, punctual, and made the long drives feel comfortable and relaxed. He was familiar with the routes and local spots, making sure we made the most of our time without ever feeling rushed. Highly recommend TravelOnEase for anyone looking for a hassle-free, personalized travel experience. Thank you for making our trip so memorable! ~Sanchita Soumya

    Shah Jaimin

    Gandhinagar

    Shah's 5 days trip to Mumbai

    Booking Details: Booking Date: 6th June 2025 Trip Dates: 24th June to 27th June Issue 1: Miscommunication & Change in Agreed Payment Terms At the time of booking, I had a clear discussion with Travel on Ease agent regarding the payment terms. It was mutually agreed that: 30% would be paid upfron
    t as the booking amount. The remaining 70% would be paid on arrival during the trip, in daily installments I made the initial payment of 30% immediately and confirmed the trip based on the above discussion. However, post-booking, the agreed terms were not honored. On 19th June, I unexpectedly received a message from Travel on Ease agent stating that another 40% payment must be made before receiving the booking confirmation vouchers. This was contrary to the initial understanding and raised serious concerns about the reliability of commitments made during booking. Issue 2: Delayed Response and Poor Coordination Between 8th June and 19th June, I followed up multiple times requesting hotel booking confirmations. Despite repeated calls and messages, there were significant delays in communication. On some occasions, calls went unanswered. Eventually, I was told that if I didn’t pay an additional 40% urgently, the hotels mentioned earlier might not be available, and changes could occur without my consent. When I escalated this to Vanshika (Travel Triangle representative), she assured me she would get back to me after discussing it—but I never received a call back. Later, Travel Triangle Advisor contacted me, and I explained the entire situation. Unfortunately, he clearly mentioned that he could not do anything and that I had to follow the agent’s instructions and make payment—despite the earlier commitments made by Travel on Ease agent Issue 3: Lack of Support from Travel Triangle When I raised the matter to Travel On Ease Manager via email, he at least offered a compromise—suggesting that I could pay 20% instead of 40%. Based on his assurance, I paid 20%, taking my total paid amount to i.e., 50% of the trip cost. While I eventually received the vouchers and proceeded with the trip, this entire situation was stressful, unprofessional, and did not reflect the customer-first approach I expected from a platform like Travel Triangle. Key Concerns: Agent Commitment Breach: Travel on Ease agent changed terms after the booking, causing confusion and lack of trust. Pressure Tactics: I was pressurized to make additional payments under the threat of hotel changes or non-confirmation. Inconsistent Communication: Delayed responses, unreturned calls, and mismanagement were recurring issues. Travel Triangle’s Role: Instead of supporting the customer, the Travel Triangle representatives seemed to side with the agent, leaving me with no practical recourse. Final Thoughts: Despite these booking issues, the trip itself went smoothly and was a good experience. However, the booking journey was stressful and could easily discourage customers from trusting Travel Triangle in the future. I am sharing this feedback not just to report an incident but with the hope that: Travel Triangle reviews its agent practices and accountability, Ensures clear and documented communication about payment terms, and Offers more proactive support to customers in case of disputes or miscommunication. I may be just one customer, but I chose Travel Triangle based on its reputation. I hope my experience leads to better practices and safeguards for future customers. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I remain hopeful that such issues can be minimized going forward.

    Shettynidhim

    Kashmir

    Shettynidhim's 6 days trip to Mumbai

    Just returned from a magical trip to Kashmir with Travel On Ease – and it was everything we dreamed of! From the breathtaking landscapes to the warm hospitality, delicious food, and serene experiences, Kashmir truly is a destination that feels both like an adventure and a home away from home. A big
    shoutout to Travel On Ease, especially Vaishali and Kewal, for organizing everything so seamlessly. The itinerary was well thought out, everything was on time, and the team was always just a call away whenever we needed support. Their local connections made a big difference – especially the guides who not only knew the popular spots but also took us to quieter, hidden gems away from the usual crowds. June turned out to be a wonderful time to visit. While the popular areas were understandably crowded, the guidance and planning ensured we still had peaceful and picturesque moments to ourselves. One thing to note: travel within Kashmir can be expensive if you're not renting a car. Since we didn’t have an International Driving Permit, we relied on cabs, which added to the cost. If you do have a permit, renting a car or even an ATV could really help reduce expenses and give you more flexibility.
