    Ashish's 3 days trip to Almora

    The overall trip experience was OK. However, there were instances of miscommunication and a few immature decisions from the agent’s side. The safari booking and coordination with the cab driver could have been handled more efficiently. On a positive note, the agent remained in touch throughout and tried to resolve the issues promptly. With better planning and experience, the service quality can definitely improve further.

    Daschandrani's 3 days trip to Almora

    I have recently visited rishikesh through Aapka Tripwala package booking for 2 days 1 night. With my parents. The trip has been real smooth and there has been an amazing support and collaboration from one of their representatives, Chirag. He was connected with me throughout the trip, taking care of pick up, drop off, sight seeing, check in, check out and even in the times of unpredictable seasonal changes. The trip didn't go as planned because of sudden cloud burst but I must acknowledge the help and support of Chirag - Thank You so much. Highly recommended for anyone planning to travel with a package and you will be more than lucky of your trip is being monitored by Chirag. Thank you, Apka Tripwala.

    Shivesh's 5 days trip to Almora

    A group of 15 people ranging from children to old people completed the tour of Nainital from 08 June 2025 to 12 June 2025 through Back to Holidays Company under the managership of Shreya ji. This tour, booked through Travel Triangle portal, was managed very well by tour manager Shreya ji from booking till completion of the trip. Shreya ji's words, behavior and management are praised everywhere. Our journey started from Bareilly Railway Station on 08 June 2025 and ended on 13 June 2025 at the same railway station with bittersweet memories. Back to Holidays Company had made arrangements for stay on first and second night in the name of Nainital at Hotel Polomax situated at a place called Bhujiaghat, 24 kms before Nainital (just 8 kms towards Nainital from Kathgodam Railway Station). Hotel Polomax was very good and its breakfast and dinner were very tasty, however, due to the distance of 24 kms from Nainital, the time for night visit was not utilized properly at all. The tour package company had booked Durgesh Resort in Ranikhet for the third and fourth night's stay. Here I would like to harshly criticize Back to Holidays that a group of 15 people ranging from children to elderly had to climb a total of 86 to 100+ hill stairs to reach the room at Durgesh Resort which was quite painful. Back 2 holidays booked very low class and unhygienic room. No other property adjecent to this. durgesh resort is suitable only for youngsters . Food quality was fine here. Manoj Bhaiya was managing all three of our cabs. The drivers of all the three cabs were very good natured. Apart from the tour package, they also took us to see Nainital's local deity Golu Devta at their own expense. My senior citizen father fractured his leg after slipping while visiting the golf course ground in Ranikhet. Manoj Bhaiya and his colleagues helped him a lot in his first aid and in finding a room for him away from Durgesh Resort. We are all very grateful to them for this. Tour covered maximum visiting points as per booking. I would like to give Back to Holidays company a rating of 2.5 stars for this trip but due to unavailability I am forced to give it 3 stars.

    Radha's 10 days trip to Almora

    I recently went on a trip to Uttarakhand organized by Travel Trail Holidays, and I must say—it was absolutely amazing! Everything from the itinerary to the hotel arrangements and local support was handled with great care and professionalism. A special thanks to Pooja Sharma, who was incredibly helpful, polite, and always available for any questions or changes. She made sure our journey was smooth and enjoyable throughout. Her follow-ups, friendly nature, and attention to detail really made the difference. If you’re planning a trip to Uttarakhand or anywhere else, I highly recommend Travel Trail Holidays. Ask for Pooja Sharma—she’ll take great care of you!

    Ddramos's 3 days trip to Almora

    Definitely enjoyed our trip to Auli! 3 days was not enough and wish we stayed longer. Aapka TripWala was very helpful and prepared everything for us. We didnt have to worry from the airport pickup, the hotel accommodation, the sightseeing until airport drop off. Highly recommended! ☺️
