LASTING IMPRESSIONS !

Dear Ranjana,
The itinerary and the trip you organised for us to Manali was unforgettable and wonderful. Thanks to you we had a really memorable holiday. The hospitality and food at Nalagarh was very good. But the resort at Manali was absolutely great. The view and location was, must say "Picture Perfect". Rarely has a hotel pleased us so much. It was truly a great Package. Solang was Ok, though the horse ride up to Shivling for three hours was thrilling. We trekked to Rohtang too as vehicles had began to skid on the ice there. Sirish the driver, provided for us was very polite pleasant and a great person too. He drove carefully and took great care of us. All in all the holiday to celebrate our 25 years of togetherness was a dream.... We do hope to take many more such Holidays thru Caravan'. ~ Nergiz and Hoshang Jamshedji, Pune.

LASTING IMPRESSIONS !

~ Parkwoods, Shoghi – I spent the best part of the tour here. The resort is excellent, the location is unique and refreshingly quaint, the experience truly offbeat. Plus the quality of accommodation, service and food makes you feel completely at home, even though you are in the middle of a forest. I would definitely like to visit this place again for a much longer duration.
Chetan Baheti, Pune.

It was a exhilarating experience for our honeymoon trip as planned and executed by you and your team. The drive to Manali via a stop-over at Chandigarh, cruising past the Beas river, sailing through the misty winding and tunneling roads . . .all a experience, which me and my better half can never forget.
The Ambassador Resorts experience was like living in the lap of snow mountains. Never in our life had we even thought that the first morning view of snow-clad peaks can be so soothing and ease out the stress / tension in a day at Delhi. One of the best experience during our stay at Manali was the trek to "Bijli Mahadev". Reaching at the temple was quite a tiring trekking experience but believe you me, the moment we reached atop, it was something / somewhere we always wanted to spend our life, together.
Shimla was a very refreshing break 'coz of the place where you had made arrangements. Nice accommodation, nice staff, and a very relaxing stay.
We both wish you and your team, the very best for future and assure you that all our future trips would be done through Caravan only.
~ Deepshikha and Gaurav Tayal, Delhi.

This mail is to extend our special thanks to you for planning an unforgettable honey moon trip for us to Shimla & Manali. We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at all places.
