Shashank's 8 days trip to Shimla

We have booked our Himachal Trip with Turn on vacation - > Delhi -Shimla-kullu-Manali-Dharamshala-Dalhousie- Delhi. The trip experience was good and we were provided with all amenities that was promised. The travel was good and the hotels and food provided were proper as well. Hotels are little bit far from main location so reaching hotel takes time. But it's manageable as you will have a nice view in the way. Hotels were nice with good hospitality and friendly & caring staff. We were assisted throughout by Sandeep, Thanks for the assistance .
