It was a wonderful experience we went to spiti circuit through The holiday icon the travel agent miss diksha took care of as family member through out the journey she was always there tp guide us n help .. The whole route have mny beautiful places in btw

I would like to share my experience of Spiti Tour with Holidays Icon. Here we come in touch with our tour coordinator Ms. Diksha Bragta, a polite , professional and talkative lady. She never ever fail to respond us during day one to last of our trip. She arranged Excellent rooms and transportation for us... Mukesh, a friendly Driver of Innova Crysta was introvert in nature but faithful to his duty.... Another person from Holiday Icon was Ashwini Verma, a well profit loss calculator. We hire them for 6 day and 5 night tour of Spiti including Chandratal camp. Everything was good and fine at the time of beginning and as per requirements of our planning. Our predecided route was via Rohtang Pass and Kunzum pass, but weather didn't allow us as Rohtang Route was closed ( so before plan the journey make sure Rohtang Route is open or not as BRO official declaration ). Now the complete itinerary was changed to the new longest route via Kalpa , Taboo, Kaza. But during journey we strongly feel that at least 7 or more days are required for Spiti Adventure Tour because less number of days automatically increases the time of travel on hilly roads. We started from Manali and finished it at Manali. Hotels review on Internets are enough to judge their services, Here we are also satisfied with them. On the tribal area of Himanchal there are less number of availability of Hotels so there are no more options to choose better one. The evening and night temperature was falling fast and extremely cold and day temperature was pleasantly good. One of our friend got mountain sickness ( breathing problem ) after altitude of Sangla. We have to rescheduled our plan and Journey near to Kalpa. So we return back to Manali again. During this phase The Holiday Icons rearranged Hotels for us in Manali and we have to pay additional for cancelled hotels in Spiti ( That was actually the total promised cost of Hotels in itinerary without taking their services ). Now the Spiti Tour was completely converted into Manali Trip with additional cost with cancellation of Spiti Hotels. We enjoyed the Manali Locals, Rohatang Pass, Solang Valley, mall roads etc. Now we regret to choose the less number of days for Spiti Tour.

What was intended to be a soul searching trip turned out to be a worst nightmare. The travel agents were pathetic in handling their duties. There was absolutely no communication from their end w.r.t the change of accomodation or the reporting time unless asked for. There was mismanagement from day 1 till the last day of the trip. The accomodation on the last day in Shimla was horrible. There were heaps of hair on the floor and even the dining area wasn't clean. Only the 4th day sailed smoothly. Addressing the elephant in the room - convincing the travel agents to take us to kunzum pass was an uphill task (inspite of the place being included in our itinerary) 2 weeks before the trip the travel agent informed us about ruling out Chandraral lake, kunzum pass and rohtang pass from our itinerary. Chandraral lake and rohtang pass exclusion was understandable as it was subject to the opening of the roads, whereas, there was no proper explanation for striking out kunzum top when there were other tourist vehicles visiting the same. I constantly kept in touch with Ambika to include the visit the kunzum pass and she assured me it would be done until the day before the trip began. As soon as the tour started, all the co-travellers insisted on visiting kunzum pass and communicated the same to the travel agent. Ambika assured to get back with the update every single time, but failed. Finally, before beginning our journey to kaza from pin valley, we had to take a call on visiting kunzum pass otherwise it would've been impossible to cover the other places in kaza as well as kunzum pass within a period of 2 days. Even after reaching kaza, there was absolutely no response from the travel agents and we literally had to stop our vehicle on the middle of road to know the status of our trip since we had no idea about how/where to proceed. The travel agents kept giving every possible reason to not take us to kunzum pass. When I had an altercation with of the supervisors, he threatened to terminate my trip. He made absolutely no sense when I was just asking for what I had paid for. If they really had the intentions of taking us to kunzum pass right from the beginning, they would not have waited till the last minute and given multiple reasons for it to not happen. The itinerary that was approved by me on travel triangle is different from the final updated voucher that was followed for the last three days of the trip. I hope travel triangle chooses their associations wisely and not ruin the trip that people dream of for months together.

Local travel agent was too bad, TT had no control over them. My TT partner also avoided picking my calls and resolving my issues. This message was my first and last TT trip. TT is no different than a local road side travel agent who make false promises. Hotel stay was good as I choose that hotel.

I am totally happy with Imm Ventures. Stunning arrangements and personal talk. Our tour was managed by dear Ambika and I am so impressed by her. Even on Sundays or late evenings she responded to my calls and queries with the same calmness. Thanks Ambika for being such a lovely helper. Except for the last stay at Manali( Hotel Kingston Place) where the hotel was pathetic and so bad. Other than that i have no complaints regarding the trip. The Driver Varun bhai was the best. So cool so fun and yet so much good at driving. He was always ready on the given time. Never said No to any places that we wished to visit. All the other hotels we well selected , routes well planned and designed. I am thankful for this trip to Imm Ventures for providing me my budget friendly trip with the best memories. Looking forward to travel with you guys again. Cheers and love to Ambika.

A big thanks travel triangle for making our tour of Spiti valley a memorable one, by recommending Mountain People as our tour operator. We are extremely satisfied with their services. They took good care of us by guiding us in planning the tour, providing us with the best of hotels and an excellent driver cum guide. We are very satisfied with the services of Travel triangle and Mountain people- professional people to work with, who strive to provide the very best to their customers. keep up the good work guys. Thanks once again, looking forward to our next tour together!

Hello Team, Here is our feedback for the spiti tour. Bad experience 1. Driver was not having any itinerary with him and was not agree with our itinerary which we had booked. It was your duty to inform him about the trip location properly. 2. Driver was NOT happy to wait the good places we thought we could capture in our camera. He was always in a hurry thats why most of the days he had finished till 3 pm and left for the day. Everyday we were hoping that driver's mood would be good then we could enjoy the nature wherever we want in our route, instead of just crossing the places. We did not complain about this during the trip as we wanted to reach back safely without making him angry.One day he had also scolded to my lady friend till frightening on asking to stop for one click of snowy mountain. We did not oppose due to the fear of left alone, any willingly accident on that high mountain and there was no network so no help 3. Tabo monastery was not covered (as per driver he had talked to you regarding distance covered per day hence cancelled) though it is mentioned in itinerary. Good experience 1. Even after hotel shuffling, the Hotels we were accommodated were good. 2. We were driven safely throughout the trip with ensured safety. Driver has good driving skill. Summery: It was amazing experience being in Spiti apart from cribbing driver. Travel Triangle--- Excellent Agent--- Tanish Tour was good except the driver. Note-- Spiti trip will be good if you have good driver not noly in driving also understanding and in behaviour

Best experience with tanish tours. Very helpful and reasonable. Even we got the late nyt dinner at hotel when v arrived there. Driver mandeep also drove very safely.

the spiti valley tour organised by classiic expedicaitons was well planned with good driver kakuji and hotels wll located to be with nature.The driver kakuji was vert experienced and with tough roads be was driving well..The hotels choose was in very much location.Mr.sunny was coordinating with me from the sstart of tour in helping me to get tickets and guiding me always.We were 5 with 2 couples and i was given a separate room..The plances baga saran,sangla,kalpa,tabo,kaza a nd sarahan stay was excellent,Only thing we missed to go for chandratal.WE really missed the stay in changratal and we could have planned the tour in july we could have completed chandratal too..We need suggestions from the tour organiser to guide us which time to complete the total route competing chandratal.eventhough seasons are predictale and guidance from them is reqiuired..i feel i took more luggage and more guidence needed to bring only necessary luggage which keep tour better..The tour is very tiresome with long travels and needs little break and we need snacks when sometimes the vehicles cannt be stopped in travels.baga sharan was very exclesive.there seem to be limited facilities in laza and i could not get hot water,.the landsacapes were excellent and good opportunity for photogrphy lovers

driver best.. rafting excellent. snow games not up to the mark.rooms in Shimla with food was good.though room was good at Manali food was not up to the mark.At Chandigarh both room n food was not good.Rohtang pass was closed. spiti lahaul though mentioned in itinerary was not covered. Too many tightly packed schedule so could not explore all like scandal point club house etc.
