Thank you so much for making all the arrangements. We enjoyed all the hotels we stayed in and we had great views at Seaview and Seaface hotel. The houseboat experience was wonderful. The boat we got from Rainbow Cruise was not up to standard with the steps missing to the upper deck so the had a step ladder that was unsafe to use. The bathrooms were functional and there was no hot water so we had to skip taking a shower. The AC did not work properly so the rooms were warm. Apparently the captain did not know where the controls were. The Captain and cook on the house boat were great and we got excellent service from them. I am sure Rainbow cruise has other better boats because we heard good comments from other folks about their boat. All in all a great time and we look forward to using your service the next time we are in India. If you visit the states please look us up. - Sudesh, United States (Honeymoon Trip)

I just wanted to say thank-you for sorting out the situation and moving us from the Abad Plaza to the Atrium it made the difference between enjoying the trip and not.   Apart from us getting stuck in the Atrium lift during a power failure all went very smoothly!! In terms of feedback for you that might be helpful, I don't think any European or US traveller would find the Abad Plaza an acceptable 3* hotel.  - Nina Bokil (Fulham, London).

Tnks 4 the efforts made by u for making us enjoy at Kerala. All the resorts/hotels were good and v hd sufficient time to see the places and also take rest. I am looking forward to trip to West Bengal and Sikkim some time around April, Pls suggest the best time to visist and also the itinery for approx 10-12 days trip. Once again tnks for the all the efforts made by u. - C K Nayar 

We had a great time. It was truly great. Tashi was a great guy and we loved his company. Amazing travel company J We think  that Peling would have definitely been a better choice. We did not get to go to Tsangu Lake due to bad weather. We really loved Kalimpong the most and Darjeeling was great because of Chowrasta. The whole feel to these places were great. Three cheers to Nivalink, I think you make it fun for travelers. It was the best vacation the family has gone out ever J - Deepa 

Our trip to Vaishno Devi was great and we were happy with the hotel. I am planning for another trip in April tentative dates 10th to the 13th to Goa. - Debraj Bhattacharya, Mumbai

Our trip was gr8..... The resort was awesome and their hospitality was superb. Thanks a lot.Will contact you in future for sure - Karuna Kanutha (Ex-Bangalore Weekend Getaway)

We have just returned from a really enjoyable holiday in South India.  Throughout the tour we were driven by one of your drivers, Vijay Kumar, and we would like to let you know how well he did his job.  He was an excellent driver and we always felt safe in his care.  He helped to make our holiday very enjoyable, taking us to all the major sights and looking after us at all times. The itinerary we had planned involved quite a few lengthy journeys and some of the roads had been damaged by the recent heavy rain and flooding.  Vijay never complained and always got us to our destinations safely and in good time.  We appreciated the care and attention that he gave us at all times. - Mike and Gill Foley

A wonderful trip we had. Very interesting and very nice. Well arranged and thanks for everything. - Vipan Kumar - Rajasthan Itinerary

I got my bookings for Goa done by you folks I must compliment your team for the excellent response and eagerness to serve customers shown by your team. - Sanjay (Barclays)

Thanks for your help and the booking. We had a nice stay in Lion Safari Camp last week. It is indeed a good place and definitely will like to visit Gir again.I felt it to be little expensive though I understand the cost involved to maintain such a property. Property has been really maintained  really  well.  Staff is extremely  good  and warm hospitality.  Food could have been little better. You know there is always scope for improvement. - Prashant Umbrani

We enjoyed our stays at all the resorts/hotels you organised. And, I do appreciate your good service. I shall have no hesitation or reservation in recommending your outfit to all my friends. I will soon revert to you for the next batch of hotel/resort bookings we would need. - Arvind Nande (Driving Itinerary South India).

We had excellent tour from 10th-14th Dec. Thanks to you and your team of Nivalink. Everything was in order and fine. With best wishes. - Dr Gopinath

Thanks a ton for a very nicely organized trip for my sisters' family.  The best part of the whole travel was Jaggi's transport arrangement and the driver Devraj.  Hotel Amar is really good, while Corus is OK. - Seshasai R Kandrakota

Thank you very much for excellent arrangements! I will definitely recommend Nivalink for other travellers to India and Nepal.  - Elisabeth (Lisa) Persson (Sweden)

The Hotel Lake Pichola is a really nice homely hotel. Staff was very good & Food was just excellent... There roof top restaurant is quite good in ambiance also. Its not a very fancy & modern hotel but is clean & a heritage style decorated one. Location wise also its very good. - Tanvi and John Miranda, Mumbai

Nivalink booked a second trip for me to Tamil Nadu & once again it was a success. I take groups of friends from the United States annually, and do Tamil Nadu Heritage Tours for 3 weeks. They went out of their way to book a new hotel when the originally booked hotel wasn't ready due to delays in their renovation work. They insisted that we got very good service at the new place, and we got it. They are very easy to work with and prompt in their email response. I would not do these trips if it were not for Nivalink. Nivalink is a dream come true for me. I enjoy working with them and recommend them highly to western tourists. I plan to do these annual trips and will do a Karnataka Heritage Tour next. - Vaidehi Herbert, President, Kolam Charitable Foundation, Inc., Hawaii, U.S.A 

I am back with an excellent trip in my hand. Let me take this opportunity to thank you and your team for assisting me in my travel requirements. I genuinely appreciate your efforts and good work. We look forward to working with you in case of future requirements. - Shailesh Agarwal

Our trip to Bandipur National Park was extremely satisfying.  Especially Staff at Tuskar Trails was very helpful & always very alert. Me & My family had a very good time there. Hope to have the same support from you in the future too. - Rajendra Sadhale

 

 The trip was good overall, except for the part in Tangsey ( near Pangong ) with regard to facilities. There was no water in the taps ( the camp in Uletokpo had it ). Very limited choice of food was available. Also the part of packed lunch, we did not find it up to the mark ( there was a cheese sandwich and boiled egg, they should have given proper lunch in a hot case instead ). - Tejashree R.

The trip was FABULOUS!! The arrangement was also very good. Nowhere we had any trouble..the hotel bookings and travel arrangement were really good. Thanks for your support and splendid coordination and arrangement. Hoping the same level of satisfaction everytime with you !!!!! - Snehal Pingulkar

I got back few days ago and just want to THANK YOU SO MUCH for organising our lovely trip. - Sonal Shah, UK

Thanks for your arrangement and cooperation. Transport arrangement was very good. Hotel Dharashan is neat and clean and room was good but they don't have restaurant it was little problem for us. Will contact you in near future for next visit. - Subhash Kumar

All the arrangements were good except for the hotel at Kullu which was quite far from city almost about 20 km besides the hotel was not as good as in Shimla & Manali - Ashok Gupta

Just wanted to inform you that we had a super time at Kabini, saw lots of animals (including a playing tiger!) - Anupam (Hyderabad)

I have been wanting to send you a feedback since I got back but just got stuck with a lot of work and could not do it. I was extremely happy with the complete Bhutan trip. Everything went off without a hitch (except the pick up at the Bagdogra airport. That was very disappointing). Post that, I just faced a problem while crossing over to Bhutan from the Indian border as it was the election day and the border was closed so we had to spend the night at a Jaigaon hotel instead of the hotel you had booked at Phuntsoling. The driver, the guide, the vehicle and the hotels were all top notch. Really well organised trip. I am happy that I chose Nivalink over names like SOTC and Thomas Cook. I will definitely get my future trips organsed from you all. Thanks a lot for all the help throughout. - Kunal Patni

Our Kolhapur trip was good. Hotel Pearl is improved vastly. They gave us good service and rooms. - Dilip Kilkarni

Thanking you for a wonderful support from setting up and itinerary till we retunred back to after travelling.  You were fantastic during all the time whatever it may (chaning itinerary for several times or chaning hotels or rooms etc etc). you have always attended us very warmly and that made me stick to nivalink - Shaileja Shah.

Thanks for your mail. The trip was excellent. Particularly Madikeri. It was beautiful. Very green- good weather. Gowri Nowas was nice. The hosts were pleasant and hospitable. Moreover ,  I think, to know Coorg, and the Kodava culture, it is necessary to stay in a homestay . In a resort like Orange County one wouldn’t get the taste of the local culture (It is quite different from other places). Talacuvery , Bhagamandalam, Tibetian Monastry were good visits from Madikeri. - Umesh Sathe

Thank you for all arrangements and we enjoyed the trip. Both the hotels were good and i would rank Elephant court no.1.  Also, the transport and the driver was very good. - Bhargava Kuruganti

The trip and the resorts were very good. Thanks for the arrangements. Mr. Talwar of Windsor Lodge was particularly welcoming and courteous. He gave me a letter stating that the amount will be refunded. So would. Appreciate it if you can expedite matters. - Surya Mantha

Thanks for the arrangements – we had a good time. - Shrikrishna Bharanbhe (Mumbai).

My trip was fine and everything was arranged well. Carlton is a very good property in Kodai and we had a nice experience there. KTDC, Munnar is nice and centrally located in proper town, but probably there are better locations in Munnar at higher altitudes (I think you'd earlier suggested Club Mahindra, but that was very expensive) - Virendra Pandey

The trip was good, my family had a great time. - Homi Tarapore

Just got back from our honeymoon trip. Thanks for the great arrangements. The whole trip went off very smoothly and it was a memorable one. - Biju Nair 

We are back from our Holidays - all the hotels & service @ Hotels were just perfect - Jatin Patel (Mumbai).

I just returned from my holiday to LEH and LADHAKH and your arrangements were excellent and the outsourced agencies were really good. Thank you very much for the wonderful arrangement and we really enjoyed the travel, stay, food etc. - H Sankaranarayanan (Mumbai) 

The trip was a beautiful experience beyond the scenic beauty of the place the people whom we interacted were very helpful and adjusting, credit of which i give to your company as you all arranged the trip . Nubra was a classic place to stay . I suggest next time please warn people a little extra about stay at pangong lake ,even though it is a beautiful place one has to be a litttle extra prepared to be able to stay there . Overall thanks for all the coperation and a lovely trip - Priyanka Mihir Shah (Ladakh Trip)

I am pleased to say that the trip was a great success and that my kids had an excellent time. - Niall Campbell (UK)

Our association with Nivalink for our Annual holidays planning has been for the last 5 years. We have visited Coorg, Kabini, Vythiri, Andaman Islands, Bhartapur, Agra and Udaipur through Nivalink and each one has been a memorable trip. The last two trips planned through Nivalink has been international ones when we travelled to Phuket and Mauritius. - Chitra and Siddharth Shah

We had a wonderful trip and are back and also have resumed work. Well at first I thought of calling you and keeping you updated but then on second thoughts I felt that the your relentless support needs a more permanent word of appreciation! My experience of interaction with you on behalf of Nivalink has been one of the most hospitable experiences. You have always been present and very supportive right from the time of enquiry till the time we reached the destination. All hiccups that were encountered, the repetitive calls, the facilitation of tickets, the ease of payment were all an experience in themselves. - Kailash Sethuraman

It was a pleasure meeting you at the Zoia Resort while we were checking out. It was a great stay except probably the conference hall, which could have been a bit better in terms of setup and ambiance. The location is perfect and swimming pool was great! - Avadhut Sathe

This is with reference to my stay in wildernest between 30.07.09 to 01.08.09. We had throughly enjoyed the experience during our stay. This was possible because of dedicated staff in your resort,fine food quality & serene sorroundings. There were a few service issues at the resort that need highlighting. - Abhijit Lad

Your service was great and I will not have any hesitation in recommending you to my friends and family. - Jitu Vakharia

We visited the Jungle Resort and Water Park on August 08, 2009. It was very nice experience. All of our group members enjoyed the hospitality of the resort. Food and facility were up to the promised standard. I would like to thank you for this nice experience and hope there will be more opportunities of enjoying your services in near future. - Lamber Singh

All of us would like to thank you sincerely for organizing a truly memorable trip to Uttaranchal this Diwali !

The location and property at Kanatal  were absolutely awesome, and so was the service and the food at Terraces Resort. Rishikesh was fun as well, due to the lovely weather and the rafting we did ( never mind the hotel shifting that we had to do ! ) . The arrangements made by the Nivalink team, as well as the round the clock service you provided was truly appreciated - Nirav Somaiya

I am back from HP. We had a really nice time. Thank you so much for helping us plan this vacation. One place that I would recommend you add to the list of the things to do in Dharamshala, is visit the Norbulingka Institute. It’s about 15kms from Udechee Huts and is a very interesting place - Tanya Singh

Had a real nice trip, the cabbie was really courteous and prompt, all the resorts were good. Thanks a lot for all the help - Akil Mohan


Aloha Mr. Vashi:  Just wanted to let you know how great our trip was to India...every lodging was fabulous (except for Green Pastures which is unprepared).  Our driver Mr. Nasar, was professional and courteous.  The guides we had were all terrific with the one exception of the guide in Cochin for the half day morning tour.  The Cochin Club was absolutely terrific value, and it looks like they are remodelling a family room.  The rooms were enormous and everything was top drawer.  I look forward to travelling with you again - Mahalo, Yuklin - Yuklin Aluli and Friends (Hawaii)- South India Trip 2009

I write you to tell you a feedback from my last travel, specially in Gujarat (it was a return after 18 years, my first travel to India). First, I want to say "thanks a lot" for your helpline, I phoned around 5 am because a driver was not at Ahmedabad railway station. A woman answered very quickly, very efficient : the driver arrived 20 minutes after the phone call. 

At Gir, Anil farm house is nice, food was really very good for foreigners. I asked for no spicy food and it was not spicy but tasty and fresh. They have very a good guide, it's very important for wildlife. You should recommend this place for foreigner - Court Didier, France (Wildlife trip 2009)
