What people love about Himachal Pradesh Tours for Seniors
- Himachal Sojourn Tour
I had an amazing time on this tour. The history of Delhi was captivating, and Shimla had a lovely, old-world feel. Manali and its surrounding areas like Rohtang Pass were scenic and calming. The hotels were all very comfortable, with great service. Our guides were very knowledgeable, and the driver made the long distances feel manageable. I would highly recommend this tour to explore India north.
- Shimla - Summer Capital of British India
Shimla was a huge contrast to Delhi. Mountiains small Labrinth of streets.. Barely any tourists. Absolutely amazing views and incredible guide Dev. Life in a small town with out the bells and whistles. BUT very naughty monkeys.
- Beautiful Himachal Tour 8N 9D
The services provided were great and I would refer anyone interested in a trip or vacation of any sort to them.
