Lal's 5 days trip to kathmandu

This is the first time I am booking a trip through Travel Triangle, the experience was good. Through Travel Triangle I was able to connect to SNOWYODA. The team at Snowyoda professionally handled my queries. Mr. Sumit was very responsive right from my first interaction and he offered a good itinerary as per the choices of places I had indicated to visit. He was so accommodating that he managed the last-minute changes in my choices within the schedule. The Hotel bookings and places selected were good. The accommodation at Nagarkot was excellent. The driver Sanu was a great guy, he was so caring and affectionate that we were very comfortable travelling with him. He was very concerned about our comfort and would go all out to see that we were at ease. Kudos to him. Overall very nice experience with SNOWYODA. Keep up the good work. I strongly recommend SNOWYODA.

Sandeshbhatkal's 5 days trip to kathmandu

We recently booked a Nepal trip via Travel Triangle. A little skeptical to start with, as had never booked via travel triangle. They connected us to 3 travel agents from Nepal and our interactions with Snowyoda started. It was a very short notice travel plan and we had only 2 days before the planned travel date. Sumit from Snowyoda was very proactive right from the start. He dashed out multiple itinerary options for us to decide. The travel and stay arrangements were top notch given that we had a senior citizen with us. All the drivers and vehicles were very good. In Pokhara, Arjung came with a BYD electric vehicle which was very comfortable. My delayed baggage arrived at Pokhara and Arjung helped me get the same using his local connects. He went out of the way on few occasions. Sumit, the owner of Snowyoda is the best travel agent, I have connected with, in my lifetime. He runs the company with a motto of customer delight. He went out of the way on multiple occasions. He arranged for a zipline at a short notice, followed up for the video after the trip was completed. Also handed over some local currency when I needed the same. I mean, who does all that in today’s world. When I had doubts about the stay, he had arranged at Mystic Mountain Nagarkot, he insisted that I should go with his suggestion and it turned out to be the best stay of our entire trip. Thanks Sumit and Best wishes to Snowyoda for future. Lastly this review is incomplete without writing about Varsha from Travel Triangle. She was accessible all the time and helped resolve all my queries.

R's 9 days trip to kathmandu

We travelled to Nepal on a 9 days (8 nights) tour in March 2024. We were two couples and our itinerary covered Kathmandu, Chitwan National Park, Pokhara & Nagarkot. The tour was organised by M/s Kabru Adventure Holidays, Kathmandu, through Travel Triangle. A single vehicle (Toyota Hiace) picked us up from Kathmandu airport and remained with us for the entire tour, finally dropping us off at Kathmandu airport on 9th day. The trip was well planned and we got very good hotels throughout the entire trip. Rain greeted us at Pokhara, and it did play spoilsport for a day. Despite that, we did manage to squeeze in a little bit of local sightseeing there. A birthday surprise with cake was arranged for my wife at the hotel in Souraha which was very well received by our entire group. Mr Amit Dhami of Kabru Adventure planned and conducted day-to-day coordination with us during the entire trip. Special thanks to him.
