We recently booked a 7-day/6-night tour package with Colors of India for the Delhi–Rishikesh–Manali trip, and it turned out to be an amazing experience! A big shoutout to Mr. Rohit shokta, who meticulously organized the trip and ensured everything went smoothly. One incident that stood out was when I lost my bag during the trip. Mr. Rohit went above and beyond to help me recover it from the place it was left behind. His genuine care and prompt action were truly commendable. The trip itself was fantastic! I traveled with my parents to show them snow-capped peaks for the very first time, and they had an absolute blast. They explored and enjoyed every moment of the journey. We covered around 2500 kilometers by car, but thanks to our incredibly kind and professional driver, we never felt tired. His driving skills and hospitality added to the comfort and joy of our journey. Thank you, Colors of India, for making this trip so memorable, especially during the peak season of late December and New Year. The package was not only affordable but also exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended! 🌟
