9. Hi Hilal, Not sure how I landed on this website, but after that I had to go no where. Mr. Simple Kumar is the person who deserves all the credits. Right from prompt replies to long smooth discussions over the phone. Very straight forward person and a good event manager. We planned a 10 days trip ManaliLehand Chandigarh with his help and Simple Kumar executed it very well. Though there were few problems we had to face during our journey, but Simple Kumar was always a phone call away to solve the problems. I will definitely recommend my friends to book their packages through travel excellence.
