Mohapeameya's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

Hotel in Shimla was down the valley. It was actually hot and unpleasant stay. Manali was okayish. First and last visit to Shimla Manali... Rohtang pass is good provided you leave at 3am. We left at 3:30am and still got some traffic.

Manish's 5 days trip to Dharamshala

I had an incredible Manali-Kasol trip in June organized by TurnonVacation. Starting from Chandigarh in a comfortable sedan car, the journey was smooth and scenic. The local sightseeing in Manali was breathtaking, and the visits to Solang Valley, Rohtang Pass, and the Atal Tunnel were unforgettable experiences. Kasol and Manikaran added a peaceful and spiritual touch to the trip. The accommodations were cozy, and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. TurnonVacation ensured everything was well-organized, making the trip truly enjoyable. Highly recommend them for a memorable adventure!

Siravarshitha's 5 days trip to Dharamshala

we have completed our 7days 6 nights family trip to shimla, manali and kasol with the help of travel magazine company. The managing director Mr.Deepak Tiwari and our tourist driver Mr. Pankaj Thakur helped us complete the tour successfully. From choosing the best hotels with scenic views to covering all the must visit places in a city without compromising, Mr Deepak and Mr Pankaj have delivered excellent customer service. I would like to thank Ms. Chanchal for connecting with us to explain the trip itinerary. It was a great experience with travel magazine, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable trip with their families or friends.

Vijay's 5 days trip to Dharamshala

1) Hotel Stay at Dalhousie ( Hotel The Jade Mountain) was excellent. Room cleanliness, Staff Behavior, Food Quality were excellent. Only thing lacking was the absence of balcony in the provided room. 2) Regarding Hotel Stay at Dharamshala ( Sky Bhagsu): Room was good and clean but the bathroom was very smelly, I told the same to housekeeping but that was not improved. 3) Hotel at Shimla Aranya vilas was excellent specially Balcony and hill view. Early breakfast (30-60 mins) may be arranged due to onward journey at the time of checking out.

Drpraveendran's 6 days trip to Dharamshala

The hotel stay in Shimla was horrible. The room was very congested. The service and attitude of the staff was much below the expectations. The stay in Kasol was very good. The stay at Manali was reasonable. The quality of food was good at Kasol but very poor in Shimla and Manali. The vehicle was good, but the driver was very rash in driving. The driver was not familiar with the site seeing locations that caused lot of wastage of time. The agent did not make the hotel payment on time and this caused some confusion and delay in checking out from Hotels.
