    Zhrekarek's 7 days trip to Dehradun

    Hotels are far away from destination.. like 10 to 12 km. Support from travel agent was not so satisfactory. Best trip enjoyed with family. Cab driver was so helping and cooperative. Maximum point covered.

    Neha's 7 days trip to Dehradun

    We had booked our tour with Navicrow holidays. The travel executive Yash was very helpful during overall journey. He was very polite and quick responsive. Because of him we managed to explore uttrakhand better as the driver was not aware with many things. Overall it was nice experiance but had some
    small issues. First of all the driver was good with driving but he was not aware with the roads and the locations. Because of that we wasted much time and we had to worry about to reach the locations. Also, Nainital and Jim Corbett hotels were good but Mussorie hotel rooms were too small. The food was good there. Rishikesh hotel was good but location was too crowdy area and also food was ok ok there.

    Snp's 5 days trip to Dehradun

    The itinerary was planned well. However the hotel stay was not that great. Rishikesh hotel was stinky and not well maintained. The bathroom sink was leaky in Mussoorie. The driver allotted for last day didn’t know the route well and kept asking us to check map for directions which ideally the driver
    should be doing. He also took a longer route to delhi which was tiring. Needs improvement in terms of better hotel options.

    Everything was good. Just small small issues were there. 1. Even though payment was made in advance but hotel room was given on first come basis, if we reach early then a good room can be taken else you have to manage. 2. In Kedarnath camp, heater facility was not given even when asked for. Lights w
    ent off from night and did not came back. 3. In Kedarnath camp, one less sleeping bag was provided. 4. Our car broke on the very first day, making it late foe us to reach hotel. For that day and next day we have to travel in a loader. Everything else was good.

    The trip was enjoyable overall. Though we encountered some issues with the car and hotel arrangements, Mr. Sanu Kumar efficiently resolved them and ensured comfortable facilities. However, the travel itinerary could have been better planned to reduce long travel distances. Optimizing the route wou
    ld improve the experience. Grateful for the support provided during the trip. The best memory of the trip was the seamless support and prompt assistance provided by Mr. Sanu Kumar during unexpected challenges. His dedication turned potential setbacks into smooth experiences, allowing us to enjoy the journey without major disruptions. That personal touch and care made the trip truly memorable.

    It was great. Overall experience was too good. The trip advisor from Travel triangle Ms. Umra Khan and the agency adventuremania were too cooperative. The services of the hotels were too good but the only issue was at a location camps were too far from the sightseeing locations and overall city and
    it was a new camp only 2 families were staying there from which one was mine. Anyways overall services from hotels were also too good. Will definetely suggest to book a trip from them as the trip was too memorable.
