Earlier we were little skeptical to book our trip on travel triangle but after receiving quotes from travel agents and checking their reviews we were happy to know that they were genuine. We booked for 5N maldives with Sumuk international. They were patient enough to give quotes for various resorts and we had many date changes till the last moment. In the end we choosed Villa Nautica which was wonderful. All communication form our travel agent was very which was helpful.

Karan's 4 days trip to Maldives

Except the Rs. 2200 I had to pay to the payment gateway while paying for my trip, my experience has been great with Travel Triangle. However, the Travel Triangle app on Play Store did not support latest version of Android so I relied on their mobile website for interactions. Also, the website does not look refined, but it gets the job done. Piyush from TT was helpful and sincere. The agencies TT connected me with gave best prices and the one I found reliable - Footprint Holidayz, Naushad - I chose and I am happy with them.
