Best time to visit Mussoorie

My Uttarakhand trip of 6 days planned by 1 point 5 billion inches was very good except few concerns which I expect that travel agent should consider while planing any trip for better clarity and understating to make the experience excellent. 1. The agent had mentioned that the driver will be guide come driver but he was new to the route and I was expecting an experienced driver on that route so that timelines will not impact. 2. Hotels were not up to the mark. I was expecting them to be nearest to the city as promised by agent but for Mussoorie it was 10km away from city center. 3. Trip planing was a bit poor as per distance and estimation of time. 4. Agent has mentioned some of the activities in the package which are not possible during our trip, it was confusing. You should include only those activities which are possible during that period of travel. For example, Skiing in Auli in month of May.

First thing first no Itinerary details of the trip was given to the driver. He has no idea where we are going. The Resort at the Mussoorie was Excellent, Peaceful & Beautiful. To my surprise my hotel at the Dehradun was not booked.I had to change 3 hotels at Dehradun that was painful & disgusting. I had booked a 3 star hotels but the condition of the hotel at Dehradun to which I was shifted was 3rd class & later I was shiffted to a business hotel that was not at par . The cab was good. The resort & weather at the Mussoorie was very good. The location of the hotel at Rishikesh was hard to get but it was worth it

The Mussoorie trip was good, but we had some troubles at some places, by chance I was lucky enough to change the hotel before the travel, Agents will try to trap you in terms of hotels, foolhardy trips and places with no importance at all. Best way out is to look before you leap. The driver was not willing to take up the visits as per the itinerary and tried to dissuade us not to go to all the places as per the schedule.

Trip was well managed overall. Nice support from the team. However cab driver was very uninterested to show the places around. Aqua sports at bhimtal was nice. Jim Corbett visit, and mall road trip at mussoorie some places to mark.

Overall, the trip was well organized and went as per plan. Hotels were good on the whole. Hotel Monarch in Mussoorie has an excellent location with a great view of the hills but they have to upgrade their furniture and upholstery in the room and the common dining room - the stuffy smell caused a sneezing allergy. Hotel Devansh in Uttarkashi was simple and airy with a great view of the Bhagirathi and good homely food. Hotel the great Ananda in Hardwar had a good room but the food was average and the kitchen needs to be cleaner! The cab and driver we were assigned were very good. The experience of the driver in maneuvering the difficult hill roads was evident. Mr Sudhir from Aarav was very prompt and responsive before as well as during the trip and kept checking on us to ensure everything was alright. The stay in Uttarkashi beside the gurgling Bhagirathi river, and the visit to Gangotri - great scenery, and a divine experience.

The hotel was excellent in terms of service. The stay was also very comfortable and food was good. But the cab driver was not cooperative. Although we booked for an AC cab, the AC was never switched on through out the journey. He was hesitant in paying parking charges at the sight seeing spots, and most of the times dropped us farbaway so that he would not be required to pay any charges. We had to walk upto a km to reach the points, whereas other cab drivers dropped their passengers till the entry gate. Moreover, he did not cover all the points mentioned inn the itenarary saying they carry tourists only to three major places to visit in Mussoorie. We had to go there on our own (eventhough we had paid for it in the package). The travel agency couldnot help much on this, and most of the time they made excuses. I felt there was lack of co-ordination between them and the driver. The stay at the hotel was the second best part (the natural scenery of Mussoorie being the best thing :) ). The candle light dinner and complimentary breakfasts were also good, service provided was excellent.

Trip was good. Hotels were nice and at beautiful location but food was average in one hotel. Candle light dinner and hotel sun n snow. Snow in mussoorie and swimming pool in Jim corbet resort

Our trip was planned in the last moment so we did not have option to research much and relied on the experts. Let me begin by writing the good things first: 1) The initial response was good & quick 2) Mr Sandeep the agent was polite and accommodative of our requests and modifications These were the only things that went well. Now let me share the list of things that went wrong. 1) Problem between the driver and the agent - we had no clue of what was going on between these guys. Each of them wanted to change the trip itinerary on their own way. The driver complained about the agent and the agent kept saying the driver has no clue. The nagging of the driver started right from the moment we landed at Dehradun. It was very upsetting when the driver put the mobile on speaker and agent Mr Sandeep said to the driver - "Sir handle karlo, aur jo bhi setting karni hogi hum apne beech main kar lenge." 2) Excessive Drive time - the drive from Mussoorie turned into a nightmare coz we drove 350+kms on hills in a day, which by no means is safe and recommended. We could have taken a halt. When I said this to the Agent Mr Sandeep, the first response was, "You should have started late". He said that without even asking what time did we start. We got stuck in the land-slide and the agent instead of supporting during the panic situation, stopped responding and then when responded it was rude and ruthless. He had no clue of the drive and the location, he kept saying I have 5 years experience and the driver kept saying I have 25 years experience. We were stranded for long . We tried calling travel-triangle guys as well and had no response from them either. 3) After all this, for rest of the days we decided to ignore both the agent and the driver and enjoy the trip but the worse was yet to come. We had asked for a camp site next to the river at Rishikesh and we were given some unsafe place in some remote village near Rishikesh. It was called adventure camp and nothing other than reaching their was adventure. The first sight we saw was a bunch of men sitting and drinking. The camp was in remote village with no place to go. We literally had to beg for food which was part of the package. The food arrived late and the guys at the camp kept drinking all night. This clearly shows that the agent does not have any understanding of what does a camp sight mean. We missed the whole experience of sitting next to river at the bourne fire. This was the most disappointing experience. I was with my wife and we could hear these drunk men screaming all night. 4. Lies of the agent - Mr Sandeep said, other hotels were not available while almost every hotel we tried to check had enough rooms. This was a outright lie by the agent. The cost of the trip was way to higher than the kind of hotels and service that we received. To save few bugs they booked us in simple hotels. I would never recommend travel triangle and neither 1point 5billion inches.
