    Krupa Ajansondkar

    Pune

    Krupa's 7 days trip to Mussoorie

    What an amazing trip it was. Being only girls, we were little worried about all the bookings and transports. But tripsailer was always there like a magic wand. All the hotel booked gave us best rooms and an excellent service. We were most worried about the cab & driver but Mr Monu Sharma accompanied
    us more as a big brother than a driver. Ms Prabha, Mr Sourabh was just a msg/ph call away so we were really relaxed as we just got an idea that all these members were there to make our trip memorable. I insist you rather girls group to go with the tripsailer without any tensions and worries. I am sure they will make ur trip into an awesome experience just like us.

    Prashanth Bhat

    Bengaluru

    Prashanth's 7 days trip to Mussoorie

    It was a pleasant trip and well organized. The locations were planned in correct sequence. The Jungle Camp was the only place of minor discomfort due to average food quality and the neighbouring camps with noisy drunken occupants overnight. Not suitable for families. Bhimtal and River rafting was an
    outstanding experience !
