What Our Travellers Say

★★★★★

Our 4th Trip with TraEminent Travel Agency – A Wonderful 15-Night, 16-Day Journey Across India ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended by a Couple from Malaysia! We are a couple from Malaysia, and this was our 4th trip with TraEminent Travel Agency. Having travelled with them several times, we are delighted to share our positive experience of our latest 15-night, 16-day customised journey through India. Our journey began in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and took us through Amritsar, Bathinda, Anandpur Sahib, Manikaran Sahib, Manali, Shimla and Chandigarh, before ending in Delhi, followed by our return flight to Kuala Lumpur. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Mdm. Shivani, Sales Manager, and her entire team, for organising our ground arrangements so smoothly from the beginning to the end of our journey. This time, we were very pleased with the overall arrangements. The hotels, breakfasts and dinners were good, and our driver provided excellent service throughout the trip. His professionalism, safe driving, helpfulness and friendly attitude made our journey comfortable and enjoyable. Most importantly, we managed to cover almost 99% of our customised itinerary, just as we had planned. Considering the long distances between destinations and the time required for travelling, we were very happy with how the itinerary was managed. A special thank you to Mdm. Shivani for her experience, patience, friendly approach and attention to detail. She listened carefully to what we wanted to see and experience, provided useful recommendations and helped arrange the journey according to our interests. Her support gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the planning process. For us, a successful holiday is not only about visiting beautiful places. It is also about having a reliable travel manager, comfortable accommodation, good meals, an excellent driver, proper coordination and, above all, safety and trust. We appreciate the effort made by Mdm. Shivani and her team to deliver these important aspects of our trip. Our recommendation to fellow Malaysians To our Malaysian friends and anyone planning a trip to India, we would strongly recommend considering TraEminent Travel Agency. Our advice is to contact Mdm. Shivani directly and explain clearly what you would like to see, which places you wish to visit, your preferred travel dates and your budget. Share your interests and ask her to recommend other places worth visiting along your route. Her experience and suggestions can help you develop a customised itinerary that suits your needs. We particularly appreciate her friendly manner, experience, reliability and commitment to arranging a trip with safety in mind. Good communication and trust are important when travelling in a country as vast as India, especially when covering long distances. This was our fourth journey with TraEminent, and we are grateful to Mdm. Shivani and the entire team for their hard work and support in making this latest trip a smooth, comfortable and memorable experience. Thank you, Mdm. Shivani and the TraEminent team, for taking good care of our journey from start to finish. We wish the company continued success, and we would be happy to recommend your services to our family members, relatives and friends in Malaysia who are planning their next holiday in India. Warm regards and sincere thanks, MR. MRS> Avtar singh A Couple from Malaysia Travel dates: 4 October – 19 October 2026 15 Nights | 16 Days | Kuala Lumpur – Amritsar – Bathinda – Anandpur Sahib – Manikaran Sahib – Manali – Shimla – Chandigarh – Delhi – Kuala Lumpur

We booked a trip to Ladakh based on positive reviews on tripadvisor. It was a personal 7 nights 8 days trip. They asked us our preferences and came up with an itinerary and price with 3 or 4 star hotel options. The trip included leh, pangong tso, shyok,nubra valley, turtuk, alchi and travelling through high altitude snowy passes khardungla and changla and kargil (we added kargil). We went late june early july. It was beautiful and flowers were starting to come up, and also snowmelts. A bit scary in shyok as the road in places disappeared and we drove over stones and through water for a few kilometres. We saw marmot, wild donkey and free horses, yak and several birds. The mountains are majestic. The altitude does make you a bit breathless, none of us had any health condition and we felt it. Our local contact in leg provided by traeminent tours advised us on altitude sickness and he emphasised several times on contacting him if we ever felt unfortable beyond the usual symptoms, how much and when to sleep. We followed his instructions carefully. We also took diomax for tge altitude breathlessness the first night which helped but it makes you thirsty and gives you a headache so we stopped taking it after. For our stay in Pangong tso our Leh person Gurmeet told us to take an oxygen cylinder reason being its higher altitude and there are no hospitals. An oxygen cylinder has 3 hours worth of oxygen should you need to drive to a hospital. We considered the Rs 2,500 an insurance and we did feel more breathless at pangong. While we could have managed without oxygen the oxygen did help ease the tightness in our chest (maybe coming from hot humid sea level singapore we took probably longer to adapt). We chose the 3 star option and did not regret it. Most cases the rooms were spacious and had great views. At pangong tso we asked to upgrade to a room with a view for an additional Rs 6.6k per person we were 3, sharing a room so we paid Rs 19.8k we felt was steep but were told taxes are high and dinner was included. Our Rs 51k per person for the trip included an excellent calm careful and informative driver Jimme and a sturdy spacious vehicle, breakfast and in two places dinner. Jimme's playlist is also great so after our trip we asked him for it. We saw beautiful monastries at Alchi, Lamayuru, Diskit, moonland the impressive Indus, Shyok and Suru rivers which we drove along. Jagmohan our tour coordinator was helpful and accommodating of our requests to add Kargil. Over all an excellent trip and we were glad we chose Traeminent.  July, 2026

We recently completed a tour to Kashmir, Amritsar, Shimla, and Manali organised by Traeminent, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. The itinerary was very well planned, allowing us to comfortably explore each destination without feeling rushed. Kashmir was absolutely breathtaking — from the serene Dal Lake to the stunning landscapes of Gulmarg. The houseboat stay was a highlight. Amritsar added a spiritual dimension to the trip, with a seamless visit to the Golden Temple and Wagah Border. Shimla and Manali were equally memorable, offering beautiful mountain views, enjoyable local experiences, and well-coordinated sightseeing. The toy train ride in Shimla and the overall hill station experience were particularly special. The logistics throughout the trip were handled efficiently, transport was comfortable, hotels were well chosen, and the support from the Traeminent team was consistent and dependable. We always felt well taken care of. Overall, it was a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable journey. I would highly recommend Traeminent to anyone looking for a well-organised and enriching travel experience.
