Gaurav's 4 days trip to Coonoor

Experience was good. All things went smooth. The last though was very bad. Neither the room nor the food there was good. For getting rooms everywhere we have to wait for 30 mins despite reaching after checkin time because they don't have confirmation of booking. So that's can be improved. Cab person was nice. He drove safe and drop us on time.

Advprasad's 3 days trip to Coonoor

Overall, the trip was designed and organised well. Appreciations to Mr Sachin. Hotels are good at all the places, particularly Grand Ashok at Thanjavur is excellent in all aspects. Whereas, the Grande Inn at Trichi is good but very small in size , hardly any space to move , keep the luggage, definitely not suitable for guests on holidays. Hotels at other places are good. Special appreciation to Mr. Chammy, the driver who is sincere, committed, courteous, highly knowledgeable about the itenery. The car provided was Ford Figo considerably a good vehicle but some issues in AC. This should be ensured in future. Finally, thanks to Travel Triangle for well organised tour.
