Yashita's 5 days trip to Karnataka

Wonderful Rajasthan.... Land of Royals... We had a wonderful trip with few hiccups... The trip was well planned but our stay of hotels was not as per our expectation... We stayed at 4 different hotels 1 at Jodhpur , 2 at Jaisalmer and 1 Desert safari camp. Only Hotel Durjaygarh at Jaisalmer and Le Royals Desert camps were as per our expectations... Our cab service provided by Mr. Rajuram was fabulous and he also guided us for various site seeing options and helped us for planning the trip in more memorable way....

Manish Thakur Bengaluru

Sunidhi's 4 days trip to Karnataka

Too much miss communication between driver and traveltriange. He didn't know that we are traveling with pet. The travel agent had charged for 500 extra as we requested pickup 2 hours before pickup time and driver requested for car cleaning from us which got sorted out later. This system put driver into issue, he was continuously asking the due amount from us because he had not got full payment and for this we had to connect with travel agent and driver supervisor to clear many things which we were not supposed to. Resort experience was really good but the miscommunication between driver and travel agent had made the experience somewhat bad. And most of the time we paid for driver's meals and he demanded money for food also. So that was unexpected. Good resort We enjoyed with our pet
