Upendrabarnwal

New delhi

Upendrabarnwal's 4 days trip to Shimla

I booked the Kullu Manali trip for my parents as an Anniversary gift through Travel Traingle. It was a 3 Days, 4 Nights trip and cost around Rs. 20,000. The travel agency, Travelpedia, was very accommodative and Mr. Vikas helped with all queries. The Hotel Lotus Inn Rohtang View was spectacular

, provided for a decent stay with great food. The breakfast and dinner was complementary with the package. The Hotel star was very helpful and ensured me parents faced no problems. The cab driver was also good. Though, he was trying to cut short the trip at times due to bad weather. Despite that, he navigated well through the hilly terrain and scenic places. In the end, I'd definitely recommend you to book through Travel Traingle for your upcoming trips. I too am looking forward to another adventure. My parents had got their luggage locked out mistakenly. The Hotel staff came to the rescue and provided required assistance to unlock it. XD

Zil Shah

Ahmedabad

Zil's 4 days trip to Shimla

I was given 3-star hotels but it was not like that. non of these hotels were 3-star hotels. The driver was good. Planning for sightseeing was good. The only issue was the hotels. Kasauli Nature Inn - Overall Good infra and staff. The food was ok. Distance from Kasauli was more than 1hr. Hotel A

plin Hillden - Really and infra and rude staff. Torned bedsheets and dirty bedsheets. bathroom locks are broken. The food was tasteless. Distance from MallRoad was 20-25mins.

Eswar Reddy

Hyderabad

Eswar's 6 days trip to Shimla

At the outset, the trip went very well and I would like to thank Travel Triangle for providing a beautiful trip experience. However, I have a few bitter experiences as well such as the nexus between cab driver/ the travel agency with the activity providers who take every chance to loot the customers

and charge exorbitantly be it the case of fun or adventure activities or restauratns. Rest are all very well organized. Though Sunrise Villa in Shimla is a very nice property with a beautiful vies, A hotel near Mall Road would have been far better in Shimla.
