    Ddramos's 3 days trip to Haridwar

    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! ☺️

    Dev's 4 days trip to Haridwar

    Had a good trip with family. Cab driver was good. He behaves really well throughout the trip. No complaints. Let's talk about some points which I want every travel company should share with their prospective client. 1) The hotel was under construction 2)Breakfast and Dinner options were very limit
    ed in comparison to buffet 3) No restaurant in hotel (only Room service) 4)Room cleanliness is a major point.(How we got to know iwas trying to find one of my thing I went on my knees to check under the bed and what I saw the floor was dirty. I immediately call the reception area and told them the floor area under the bed was messy and asked them to clean. 5) When an individual plan a trip the person who accompany is cab driver. There needs to be some sort of arrangement for drivers too. They are also human being. I mean No free dinner facility. No stay arrangements for the driver is something not acceptable. For future references I sincerely request the travel company to inform their prospective guest about the stay of the driver and the food options.

    Meghana's 6 days trip to Haridwar

    Hello Back2hodlidays, We recently had a trip to Mussoorie Uttrakhand with the help of Travel assistant shreya from Back2holidays. The planning and execution were done very well. We have covered almost all the places as per the plan only 2 were missed. Shreya was very helpful from the start of p
    lanning to trip till the end. She has provided all the required information what ever we have asked for.. Coming to the trip, had a really good time. Only the 1st hotel at Deharadun was not up to the mark either the rooms not the food was that great. The remaining 2 hotels for the stay were good. Stay and food in Mussoorie was nothing to be questionable, but the staff in Danaulti (The Groove Garden) were bit harsh and food was also not soo good. The driver travelled along with us was also good and no issues , but it would be really helpful if the driver allocated are locals or frequent visitors of that place, as our driver was not aware of all the places it was bit difficult for us to know the routes and were dependent on the google maps which delayed our jrny. Rest all was really good, had a great time throughout the trip. Thanks Shreya for all ur support during this period of jrny.

    Ravindra's 6 days trip to Haridwar

    Overall we enjoyed the tour and very professionally arranged. Good part- 1. Bus was good and driver very good. 2. Very accommodating to last minute changes 3. ⁠Hotels at Rishikesh and Jim Corbett were very good Bad part- No plan to put bad part in TT review. Just for your understanding
    . ⁠Traffic - it’s not something anybody could do anything but little help in planning activities could have been useful.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ just now – New Adventure Mania organized a wonderful family trip for us from Delhi to Uttarakhand. The experience was absolutely fantastic. We stayed at one of the best properties in Bhimtal, offered at a very competitive price. The transportation arrangements were smooth, and the driv
    er was extremely helpful and cooperative. Special thanks to Vimesh ji from Adventure Mania, who remained in constant touch throughout the trip and was always available to assist us. His support made our trip even more enjoyable.
