    Sandhya Sujay Dhuri

    Mumbai

    Sandhya's 4 days trip to Dehradun

    1. The experience with Navi Crow was satisfactory, with the exception of one aspect Northern Himalayas. 2. Staying at Night Campen in the Northern Himalayas would have been problematic due to the unsanitary conditions; it is advisable to avoid recommending this location to families, particularly th
    ose with young children seeking a comfortable overnight stay. 3. All other accommodation arrangements were commendable; however, it would have been even better to have options closer to the Ganga River or Triveni Sangam for attending the aarti and enjoying quality time for seating and meditation without extensive travel. 4. The quality of food across all hotels was satisfactory; however, an increased variety of options would enhance the dining experience. 5. The chauffeur demonstrated commendable skills, yet he appeared somewhat discontent with the management, which created a slight discomfort during our travels; nonetheless, there were no personal grievances with him. 6. The vehicle provided was spacious and comfortable, contributing positively to our overall experience.
