Chardham Yatra September 2023: My wife and I have just completed the Chardham Yatra. This was planned for us by Mr.Jugmohan of TraEminent India Tours. This company was recommended to us by a colleague who had been on a similar tour. The choice of hotels with good food and facilities, suited our budget. More importantly we felt very comfortable and safe in the Toyota Innova, provided with an experienced driver who was very familiar with the roads. We did manage to make our way without much delay through many land slides and construction works. Sadly we did not manage to get helicopter tickets and had to use ponies. I can definitely recommend TraEminent India Tours for a reliable and cost effective holiday. September, 2023.
