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.

Discovery. Excellent time! We went between seasons, so missed the views of flowers, apples, snow,... but concentrated the cultural aspect. The country side is beautiful, as are the towns, the Mosques , and the people.Our guide and driver, (Faisel, & Hussein), (sorry fellas, if the spelling is wrong), were ideal for the situation. Both passionate and knowledgeable about their country, their culture, and faith.We got to visit villages, towns, mountains, parks, Mosques, and felt we were the only tourists around. (Big advantage for travelling this time of year.) In all places, including the lovely hotels, everyone made us most welcome. I have no hesitation in recommending TraEminent for travel plans here. Full stars. November, 2024.

My husband and I just returned from a ten day tour in Kerala with TraEminent. The tour was more than I could have imagined and I want to thank them for the incredible service they provided. I inquired about a tour with several highly rated companies that I found on TripAdvisor and chose TraEminent because Sunny was the most responsive and communicative from the very beginning. I'm glad I did! That responsiveness and commitment to quality extended throughout our trip; they chose excellent hotels and activities for us and replied to questions and/or concerns quickly. We were most appreciative of our driver Mr. Sudhi who very skillfully navigated chaotic city streets as well as twisting mountain roads in a way that kept us feeling safe and confident throughout. When we needed help with an extra day in Delhi, Sunny supplied great hotel and drivers for us as well. Overall, the plan with TraEminent made our trip easy and delightful. I am recommending them for my friends and relatives who now want to go to Kerala. November, 2025.
