The Himalayan Holidays

What's Not Good: Want to write a very bad review in details sometime later

What's Not Good: Totally mismanaged and unprofessional handling by the tour operator. Totally unsatisfactory.
This review is written to benefit those who are planning to take tour operator’s services for their upcoming vacation tour. Read it fully and carefully.
We were on 9 nights, 10 Days Himachal tour in April. Our itinerary was finalized by Himalayan Holidays arranged by Ms. Mohini. Such kind of long holiday tours are enjoyed only if stay is comfortable and if all the destination places are covered comfortably. So, Hotels and Conveyance are the two most important part of the tour and we always hope that the tour operators will provide these two to make our tour enjoyable.
Hotels: We finalized the hotels as follows as per the itinerary:
Duration 9 Nights 10 Days
Hotels Category - Premium 2
Chandigarh (1 Night) Hotel Royal Park Chandigarh
Shimla (1 Night) Hotel Royal Regency Shimla
Manali (3 Nights) Hotel Village Venue Manali
Dalhousie (2 Nights) Hotel Comfort Court Dalhousie
Dharamshala (2 Night) Hotel The Crown Dharamshala

The text from What’s App chat is given hereunder:
12/01/2025, 20:59 - Himalayan Holidays: Central heated rooms with balcony
12/01/2025, 21:12 - Himalayan Holidays: Premium 2 Category
13/01/2025, 11:29 - Himalayan Holidays: Super Deluxe Room with Balcony
13/01/2025, 11:32 - Himalayan Holidays: Luxury Room with Balcony
14/01/2025, 11:37 - Himalayan Holidays: luxury rooms will be provided everywhere

Comments:
Leave aside Central Heated Rooms no ac rooms were provided at Shimla and Dalhousi. Manali hotel ac was having technical glitch. Separate feedback has been given for each individual hotel. Hotels were good (Except Manali) but the rooms provided were ordinary. No toiletries like dental kit, shaving kit, hair dryer etc were provided in hotels except Chandigarh. These do not come under Luxury hotel rooms? Manali hotel did not even provide soaps. Dharamshala hotel was 15-16 km away from all the tourist spots. I was told “how does it matter? You are provided with vehicle”. But what about convenience, time etc? Not only that, the driver refused to take the car twice near the spot.

Conveyance:

As promised a Swift Desire was provided. But no ac at hill stations. The driver was totally disinterested in the tour. Many places he did not take us at all. E.g. at Shimla he did not take even one spot out of the spots as below.
Shimla Local Sightseeing :
• Mall Road • The Ridge Madan • Christen Church • Wood Market • Gaiety Theatre • Scandal Point • Kali Wari Temple • Jakhoo Temple
He did not stop at Atal Tunnel also. Took us to Sissu Lake saying that we can cover Atal tunnel spot while returning. But he did not stop while returning even our insisting.
At Dharamshala driver refused to visit near Mcleodganj market where he took us once. But other spots, which were only nearby the market, he refused. We had to take ropeway for the market and he waited at the ropeway down. Same he did at Shimla too.

General Comments:
The tour was completely mismanaged. The glimpse we could get on the first day itself when at Chandigarh the driver took us to a hotel where our rooms were not booked at all. Services at hotel rooms and of the car driver were totally unsatisfactory. None of the hotel provided with hotel bills saying that the same will be shared with the tour operators. Fine. But the operator also did not share with the bill. Why? Where the money has gone. Is it unaccounted? Ms. Mohini always contacted only when she required some payment to be made. Never she enquired about the tour. About Manali hotel when we informed, she texted on WhatsApp that she will talk. Then she said she would send someone. But nothing was done.
So, for the tourists, they must be particular about rooms (AC), Car(AC) and if services are not provided then what.

What's Good: This is a good package with great stay and sightseeing . Parveen and team supported very well I would highly recommend this tour package
What's Not Good: Value for money. Supporting and understanding staff

Great experience with Himalayan holiday beautiful support from mohini ji and thanks to car driver happy bhai very helpful person

Special Thanks to Mohini Madam (The Himalayan holidays) for guiding and being supportive throughout our family Manali Trip. The itinerary was planned and executed in such a great way that we could experience all the fun in the restricted timeline. The hotel Heaven Snow Resort was awesome to stay and the staff was helpful. Praveen Ji owner of Heaven snow resort was good at heart. Breakfast & Dinner served was delicious. The scenic view of snow clad mountain from balcony was mesmerising. Driver Mahesh was also good. Would surely plan next trip under guidance of Mohini (The Himalayan holidays). Thanks a lot Mohini Madam ?

With Mohini's help, we planned a vacation to HP, and she was fantastic. She organized every aspect of our trip, including the airfare, rental vehicle, hotel, and sightseeing. Giving that duty to someone as capable and punctual as her was really lovely. She was also available for us the entire time to answer queries and organize travel arrangements. We've also utilized her for our most recent lodging requirements, and she always delivers! highly suggestable

These are inexperienced and unprofessional 1-2 people running the business. We had booked Himachal package with them in May 2023. They made mistakes in lot of things. They told us that they have their own cabs and drivers but they had hired from outside. We had specifically asked for good condition Toyota Etios for safety and comfort but they provided poorlymaintained old Honda Amaze. Had to fight for everything. Very poor cab service and cheap hotels. In 38 deg outside the driver was not ready to switch on ac and we fall sick due to long traveling like this and cancelled the trip midway and had to stay at different hotels for 2 days at our own additionalexpenses. Also driver was not ready to help us to find food we can eat. We had specifically added Rohtang but had to fight for that. They talk very rudely and in a very unprofessional manners. All our time, money,energy wasted because we made a mistake by choosing them.

Firstly, I would like to thank Mohini our trip manager for making this wonderful journey happen through the Himalayan holidays. This company is genuine both in terms of the arrangements and as well as money. I am from chennai and took cab package from Delhi to shimla and Manali and then return back to Delhi. It was fun overall. She ensured that we are kept connected with them all through the trip despite language barrier in order to avoid any trouble with the driver. Am totally happy and price is reasonable and would definitely recommend tour package with this company for all people who are planning further.
