Trip to Shimla, Manali
(Written on 19 Mar, 2017)
I was searching for Shimla-Manali Honeymoon package. I searched through MMT, TC, etc but was not satisfied with their package cum price. Lastly, i landed upon tripcrafters.com which offered 3 best q (Read More)uotes from travel agents. Out of all quotes received, quote from M/s Travel desire india somehow impressed me. The contact person of agency, Mr. Sumit ji contacted me in a minute on submitting my request. He asked me all of the inclusions, activities, etc which i plan to do on trip and within a day, quote was submitted. I changed/ammended a lot of activities/sight seeings in the quote a lot of times but the Agency(M/s Travel Desire India) patiently listened to me and accordingly changed to please me. I was very satisfied with their behaviour, quote, package, etc and hence, i finalized the pacakge after about one week. They took 50% of payment in advance and for remaining 50%, i could pay till the end of trip. Please see that i was planning the trip in Christmas (a heavy rush time) but had only begun searching for package before 3 weeks and Travel Desire was a savior to me. Ok then, as stated in quote, our trip driver (a very humble, helpful person) contacted me a day before trip and provided me all details. We began our trip, reached Manali. Hotel(Himgiri) in manali was located very near to mall road(a very popular night place). Rooms were very good with all facilities (laundry, hot water, wardrobes, etc). We had a honeymoon package, so all the cakes, flowers, etc would be given in Manali and we had to inform the hotel reception 4 hours prior to the plan. But due to some miscommunication among hotel staff, the honeymoon stuff did not go as planned. That was a disappointment. Nevertheless, our entire sightseeings were exactly as planned and Sumit ji and our driver were always prompt in clarifying our queries. Next stop was Shimla. Hotel (Aachman Regency) was good but was very far from Mall road(main attraction centre). However, we did not feel the distance as the driver was always at our disposal. Hotel in Manali was very good but in Shimla, it was just average. Rooms were small, some sockets not working, 24 hour hot water facility was not available, etc. Food in both the hotels was good. Hotel in shimla had a live orchestra facility at night. Trip in shimla was also very well organized. Overall, the trip was excellently organize & , patience/dedication of travel agent was praise worthy. I would surely recommend everyone going Shimla Manali to book with Travel Desire India.
P. S. Just a few things for people going on trip to Shimla Manali
1. Do a lot of Google search about the place to know the basics.
2. Ask for a hotel close to Mall road at both the places
3. Book a normal package. Dont go for honeymoon package as charges are extra and if anything goes wrong due to any reason, entire mood/occasion gets spoilt.
4. Dont book a local guide at any place. They will not take you or tell you extra ordinary . Just follow the normal crowd, and u will get to see all the places.
5. Dangri or full coats can be taken on rent while going to high mountains. So, dont overload your luggage.
6. Contact or get quotes from maximum possible travel agents but go only with those which your heart tells you. I chose Travel Desire India and i am totally happy with that.
Cheers!
