Dehradun railway station come from Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab. Jan
Shatabdi Express, Dehradun Express, Doon Express, and Nanda Devi Express are major trains serving

road itself. The state has more than 1,328 km of national highways and 1,543 km of state highways. The
Uttarakhand Transport Corporation runs around 1000 buses in and out of the state.
Haridwar and Rishikesh are connected to Delhi by NH 34 and NH 7 passes through Dehradun with

proposed Char Dham Highway will connect all four major pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand. Taxi rentals

Trip to Uttarakhand
hotels provided are very good to stay but unfourtunatuly i have to say food quality was below avg. but over all trip was nicely arranged. but one thing that was not told us by agency theh at at DIKALA WE CAN SEE LOTS OF WILD ANIMELS...WHEN IT WAS ASKED ANS WAS THER ARE PERMISSION ISSUES.....BUT I DONT THINK SO ....IT CAN BE MANAGED BY AGENCIES WITH PRIOR BOOKING OF 1 MONTHTrip to Uttarakhand
Hotel rooms are not up to standards as discussed in luxury package. Distance between the destinations are not same as discussed with Agent. I couldn't sence the difference between luxury and budget package.Trip to Uttarakhand
Overall a good trip to nainital, kausani, ranikhet and jimcorbett national park. A little disappointed towards jim corbett park's safari . Otherwise, the coordination with the travel agent was fantastic and specially the driver (Neeraj ji) , a very friendly driver, made our trip memorable.Trip to Uttarakhand
it was an awesome stay we had in chopta... every one was so cooperative... nice scenery from the camps.Trip to Uttarakhand
We are Happy with Aarav travel where as we small changes need to be made like they have provide someone who will travel with us so that they can guide in all the aspects but overall they have did excellent job with good supportTrip to Uttarakhand
I really wish I could have written a positive feedback for you. The start was good, everything worked as per the planning as per the expectations. Firstly, I didn't realize there would be no coordination between Hotel and the Travel Agency. There was some difference between what we were promised and what we received. There were lot of places that needed to be covered but due to lack of communication between the transport team and booking agency they misunderstood us and blamed us for everything. At the end of the journey, I was really surprised by the inhuman nature of driver and cab coordinator. I had my female friend with me and I asked for a single drop for her and clearly mentioned that please drop her at a distance which was just 15 mins away from my pick up location. I would go on my own and there is no need to go to my location. But they denied this rudely. The cab Coordinator said "It's your problem, deal with it". We were charged high for everything but that wasn't an issue at all, the issue was inhuman behaviour and the way they talked. It was not expected at all. I paid night allowance as well to the driver even if we reached well within time and we had to pay that extra amount as a night allowance. That too I didn't deny I paid everything they asked without any negotiation. But I was not happy at all by the inhuman nature of cab coordinator. He was good initially but at the end he turned out to be hostile towards us. Finally I had to take another cab for her at 1 AM. I want you to at least warn such people who don't treat humans as humans. Positives: The Resort was at an amazing Location, food quality was superb. Hotel staff service was good. The behaviour was polite. Overall it was awesome place to stay. Rafting in Rishikesh, cliff jumping in RishikeshTrip to Uttarakhand
