Roompa's 6 days trip to Nainital

Driving was good but there was a problem in the attitude.He was just trying to escape from his duties and also misleading us. Behaviour was a problem and forced us to wrap up everyday by 5pm. We have hardly seen any places and also didnt get any knowledge from any place. Traveling was a pain cause there was no place to sit coz the luaggages had to be kept since there was no carrier on top. Since kausani was 200 km more he convinced us for Ranikhet to avoid extra driving. Behaviour was rude.As far as the experience goes, traveling with Mr. Sonu Joshi was pathetic and horrible..

Himanshu's 2 days trip to Nainital

Overall all it was great trip. Everything went as per the plan. In case if you are planning for Birding in Sattal then definitely try "Nature green resort" it is near to birding hide. Hotel is new staff is superb polite. Only issue was they charged Rs 1000 for bonfire.

Shilpa's 5 days trip to Nainital

Booked a trip to uttarakhand with Tripsailer. The bookings were hassle free and Preethi handled the itinerary customizations as per my interest. She booked the cab, driver, safari, hotels and any sightseeing details. I was travelling alone and hence she had taken care of the safety aspect as well. She also mentioned she would be available on call during my trip. I had to just call her once for safari driver confirmation which she immediately took care. I enjoyed the trip stress free. The hotels though it says 4 star, may not really have the amenities of a 4* hotel. I did not do enough research and asked to book hotels that were suggested by some other agent's itinerary. They were decent and had very good views from the rooms. But I felt you could find better and cleaner hotels for that price. The sunrise view from kausani and seeing the himalayan range from the hotel room balcony was amazing!!!

Aditi Kapil Delhi

Amol's 7 days trip to Nainital

.The hotel in Mussoorie Jim Corbett Nainital was fine, it was expected to be even better. The food given was good in some places and not right in others. How can it be better? No complaints about the rest of the vehicle and driver. The tour is expected to be a bit more relaxed in the next tour. The response from the tour planner was good but they are little bit clearity required . Mussoorie is best in hotel and food.sightseening is also good

Amol Tapkir Pune

Miss's 4 days trip to Nainital

The overall experience was good. We tried to cover all the places in the itinerary but missed some due to time constraint and long distance. Even few kms in the mountains is a lot. The driver was not experienced, he pretended as if he knows everything but he knew nothing. The goodies, cake, candle light dinner was not there as per the plan. There was mismanagement at some places. Cygnett resort was very good but Gajraj Trails Resort was okayish. Corbett Safari was good. Overall would rate the trip 4 out of 5.

Miss Jani Mumbai

Devinder's 5 days trip to Nainital

Hustle free travel since everything was already booked. Would have been better if first hotel was in Nainital instead of Bhimtal. Overall a good experience. Food taste of Resort was not that good but the ambience was very peaceful.
