Taxis and drivers were good.. when the booking were done for have Travelpedia as the Agent we agreed to pay Rs 2,000 extra to have a NEAT CLEAN , Innova vehicle on a Through and through basis wherein a single car and driver stay with us from day one to last day. But in reality the allocation was made on a point to point basis in different locations.. The Hotels booked at Siliguri, Gangtok and Pelling were good as promised. Neat rooms, good food, good service. But the Hotel Sumitel booked @ Darjerling is the WORST we have experienced in our life. It is located about 250 mts away from the Post office.. and you need to pull your suitcases all the way to a furlong or above to reach a small, dingy hotel.. the approach road is a narrow walking path lane that goes through residential areas and roadside shops.. everybody will be observing you when you are pulling or carrying the suitcases. On paper it is proposed as a 4* hotel.. but in reality it might be a 2* or less. Hence we have to vacate it and move to Ramada , Darjeeling by paying @ Rs 15,000 for two nights additionally.. this Hotel should never be recommended to any visitors.. Now the payment made to Travel Triangle by is Rs 131,500.. as it was invoiced to us.. against an Agreed and finalised quote of Rs 130,000 plus Rs 600 as Convenience fees for two Paxs @ Rs 300 each.. we are yet to receive the extra amount of Rs 900.. Overall the rating could be 4/5... Great Stay at Gangtok all site seeing places, great visit to Pelling and visit to Hanchanajunga Waterfall, Skywalk are a must.. we missed out on the visit to North Sikkim as the roads to Lachun and Lachen and closed due to a natural disaster recently.. Darjeeling Toy train ride, Tiger Hill trip.. was great. With clear skies all through. Great view of Mount Kanchenjunga.. Great food, great service in hotels and no upset stomachs. Overall its a great time to visit Sikkim and Darjeeling.. and we had very good time. Rating 4/5

nner should also be included in itienary apart from breakfast. Nathula and namchi was great. Mirik in darjeeling was great.

Travel Triangle started initially, the experience was much customer friendly. From travel agency perspective also, there were frequent follow ups only until the payment was to be made. Post that, the point of contact who was interacting was redirecting all queries to another contact, which seemed unprofessional. The driver Shanker Chhetri for the Sikkim trip was excellent.

ek and Deepak for the excellent job they did for the entire vacation. They are really good at planning, coordinating and also communicating with us. They were quick to take care of our requests and ensured they checked if everything went smooth on a day to day basis. Thorough professionals.! Abhishek was very patient with us even though this trip was planned 5 months earlier. Big Thank you!

so changed the itinerary a few times. While other agents kept providing me random itienaries on their own, rather than my requests, Mr. Amol from Round the Corner (RTC) frequently communicated with me to design an itinerary which was confortable and covered major locations while providing adequate rest beteen different travels. It must be noted that the hill roads and times indicated by google maps are grossly wrong - atleast in sikkim. The roads Google shows often are not motorable and times indicated are short by 2 hours. Trust the Driver and no one else. We had planned for Bagdogra-Gangtok-Lachen-Lachung-Gangtok-Pelling-Bagdogra. Just 2 weeks before our trip, there was a Dam burst in upper Sikkim and major floods. After waiting for a few days to assess the situation, He called and we decided to change the itinerary to leave out the flood affected Lachen/Lachung and added Darjeeling instead. Once the trip started, his colleague - Mr Progess Bhujel took over the coordination. He would call daily to check how we were doing, provide detailed plan for the next day, send driver details and also share tips about local attractions to see. On his own he would also arrange call to hotel at the destination city so that we could pre-order our dinner while were still in the car. This way we would have dinner ready by the time we reach the hotel, since most hotels stop taking orders by 8:30. Such care! The hotels provided by them were very good. They were no-frills hotel but the rooms and maintenance was excellent!. In Gangtok the room had a view of the entire valley. In Pelling Kanchanjunga was clearly visible from the room balcony from very close. We could see Sunrise over the peak right from our bed !, the same was the case with the hotel in Darjeeling. Excellent choice of rooms! Since we were travelling with kids he was more concerned about them getting motion sickness than were, but thanks to half tablet of 'Avomine' in the morning, neither my wife not kids had any problems. For the trip to Nathula pass, permits have to be made. He asked us to send a copy of our documents a week before the trip. So the permits were all prepared and ready when we came. So when we went to Nathula, the driver just stopped for 10 minutes at the permit office, picked up our permits and we were on our way - while we could see several other tourists and cars waiting anxiously and lining up for theirs. Good planning by RTC! I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the Drivers and cars changed with each leg of the journey. I feel this was actually good - because this way the driver was not away from his home for too long and in some cases could go to his home at night after dropping us off at the hotel. The drivers and cars provided were also very good. The roads are narrow and curvy and ofen have space for only one vehicle. The drivers were polite, very experienced and would not show any sign of road-rage/un necessary overtaking. Instead would halt some distace away from the narrow spots to allow the vehicles coming in opposite direction to pass, infact even got down to help other drivers stuck on the road. We saw this civilized driving in most divers in Sikkim - which is a stark contrast to the crazy driving in Mumbai. In one leg of our trip we had to go from Gangtok-Namchi-Ravangla-Pelling. While most of the roads in Sikkim are quite good and well mainted, The one from Ravangla to Pelling is bad and almost a big crater and landslide ridden dirt road right at the edge of the cliff. By the time we left from Ravangla it was already dark (it gets dark by 5:30 PM), but the driver was extremely skilled and drove through that road with great skill and even helped a fellow driver change his tire on the way! Hotel Reviews: Gangtok-Alpine Hill retreat. The Hotel is a simple, clean and well maintained hotel with a decent restaurant. The room provided had an excellent view of the entire Gangtok Valley. The staff was very attentive and courteous. The common areas were very aesthetically decorated and gave a feel of the Tibetian vibe. The Hotel is on a quite road a bit away from the main city center, but is still fairly well connected. Gangtok city itself is very beautiful with lots of tourist attractions. I will not list the attractions here - you can see them in other blogs. The city has well maintained roads and is very clean. Pelling - Rufina Palm Bliss: The Hotel is a simple, clean and well maintained hotel with a decent restaurant. The room provided had an excellent view of Mt. Kanchanjunga from our room balcony from very close. It seemed not more than 50-60 km from there!. We could see Sunrise over the peak right from our bed! Pelling is a tourist city full of Hotels and restaurants, still very well maintained and clean. Darjeeling - Sumitel Suites: This hotel is actually a part of mall by the same name. Its rooms, restaurant, lobby etc are spread across various floors of the mall. The Hotel is a simple, clean and well maintained hotel with a decent restaurant. The room provided had an excellent view of Mt. Kanchanjunga. Darjeeling city by itself was bit of a turn-off, possibly because we were coming from Pelling Sikkim which was gorgeous!. Darjeeling has narrow roads, excessive traffic, one way roads, haphazard construction and occasional piles of trash. The famous 'Toy train' was the biggest turn off for me. It was exhorbitant - Rs 1000 or 1500 per person depending on whether you choose Diesel or Steam engine. Frankly it doesn't matter. while inside the train you don't see the engine, and several trains travel together, so you can always take photos with steam engine of another train at the stops. Strongly recommend advance booking through IRCTC, else you may not get it at all - over the counter. The Train would surely have been excellent in olden days as it could travel along the mountain edges - BUT now there is rampant construction on either side of the railway track, so the Mountain/valley is hardly visible, there are shops almost touching the track. Sadly the Toy train experience has been reduced to a Kolkata Tram. Avoidable. We did not do the ropeway, possibly that may be better. The 'Tea garden' visit was just a 100 m walk on a trail littered with packets of eatables and some tourists taking photos in local costumes. For most other attractions, the parking is far off/ or have no parking, so one has to walk long distances - so not suitable for older parents. the attractions themselves are very good though, especially the Zoo and montaineering institute, tiger point.

between driver and travel agent. Tiger hill sunrise and changu lake.

r permit, payment installments and so on. He was following up everyday with us to ensure the trip is going on as per the schedule and I would like to thank him for all his efforts to make our trip successful. We were picked up timely from the airport and everyday the drivers assigned used to be on before time for our trip and were very polite and professional. They were patiently answering all our questions. If you are planning for a trip in Sikkim or Darjeeling I would strongly recommend you to select Jeremy travels for the best trip.

it happen...... thank you We have successfully completed our tour and reached bagdogra

de to premium room from deluxe double bed. You have to take sharing cab from hotel to MG rd. Some say its walkable but we took private one. Food is same like outside for breakfast. Dinner buffet was better. For south indian family of 3, the quantity of food was huge that we had to order only for 2 in ala carte. Staffs were courteous and humble. We booked through Jeremy Travel. They were in contact from prebooking to post travel to share the travel plans. Drivers were good - non alcoholics. Safe drives and polite drivers. Nathula pass was a great experience. We went when there was no snow during 1st week of November. But it was too dry chill weather at Nathula. Elders and kids less than 5yrs might face giddiness due to less oxygen at height of 14000 ft above sea level. Some of traveller's took packed O2 handled cylinders to avoid giddiness due to less oxygen. We went for Yak ride at Tsongu lake and Rope car drive. Local sight seeing we avoided few spots and covered most of the spots before 1pm. So we went to a falls down the hill and returned by 4pm. We have already recommended Jeremy Travels to one of our colleague. If we are planning for north sikkim trip (as it was flood this time 2023), we would definitely plan it with Jeremy travels. Thank you.

t the trip.Thanks for responding everytime we need the help. Thanks to deepak ji who coordinated with us for the trip and arranged everything what we have requested for. We have enjoyed our trip with beautiful locations and the best accommodation throughout the trip.Thanks for responding everytime we need the help.

hotel pool was under maintenance/reconstruction and the hotel manager lied that dues to a 'brawl' which happed few nights back the pool tiles were broken. We checked out the rooms and it was not at all for for being called a 3 start property. We refused the check-in and asked the travel agent to change our stay, to save time we suggested a hotel closer to the beach, ଗୋଲ୍ଡେନ ଟ୍ରି Golden Tree, as a result we had to pay some more than earlier quoted. This was a great pick for us, best of all 3 we stayed in during the trip. From Puri we went to Daringbari where the hotel booked for us, The Snow Creek, was the worst. The floor tiles in rooms and bathroom were broken and loose, walls were damp and showing signs of water seepage. They were even refusing to provide separate toilet and bathing soap. The complementary breakfast portion size was so small that it was fit for a 10yr old, it was like theye were trying to save as much as possible when it came to provide any service. Probably in order to keep their wifi bills down they didn't provided password during check-in and we got it only few hours before check-out. Our last stay was at Hotel Shubham Grand, Bhubaneswar. This was okayish, rooms were spacious and complementary breakfast was good but nothing more to brag about. The star of the trip was our driver Anil bhaiya, great and chill person was very courteous and accommodating to our requests.

d to be given Xylo/Innova but we got Scorpio for 3 days that too without a carrier. We had booking for 6 people but we had to keep all our luggage in the back seat and had to adjust in the middle seat.... 2. When we called Trip2Hills(Niraj &Kriti) regarding the wrong vehicle sent they immediately stopped picking our calls. There was no response from their side, even though we tried contacting them multiple times.We even called travel triangle(Yogesh & Baldev) they said that they cannot do anything with the wrong vehicle sent and we have to adjust and go to Lachen and Lachung for next 3 days.. 3. There was no one accountable and no one took the responsibility of whatever happened rather it was us 5 people who had to do all the adjustments irrespective of paying the full amount of 6 people. 4. Again on the last day we were given Xylo which was in a very bad condition and even the driver was not driving the vehicle properly. We were feeling very unsafe with him. And our fear turned into reality when the gear box got broken in the middle of road, on a very inclined slope. Thankfully, there was a mechanic nearby who repaired our vehicle which took around 1 hour. We were not able to go for sight seeing in Darjeeling as a lot a time got wasted in vehicle repair.It took around 6 hours to reach Darjeeling from Gangtok. Our trip could have been much better if we did not faced above issues. This was the first experience with travel triangle for us and we are now skeptical to book and plan future holidays with them.

p was worst of all missed sight seeing too very bad planning changing of cabs, drivers, even hotel rooms and everything on approach Please don’t trouble tourists in such way both Sikkim hills and Sikkim tours failed totally Overall very bad experience Drive way once cab used to get confirmed Darjeeling can be removed in tourism list fake people fake tourism, unclean place bad hotels and bad approaches

ter as we spend lot of time on roads travelling in Sikkim trip. Well organized even during the hardtimes the travel agent was always available. I recommend Bina Travels for Sikkim trip
