From the shikara ride on Dal Lake to Gulmarg's snow, every day was planned to perfection. The trip captain was warm and on time. Highly recommend Tripper Trails for first-time travellers.

Did the Spiti circuit with them. Great mix of stays, food and free time. The group was fun and the on-ground team handled everything including a weather change. Worth every rupee.

Loved how organised the Bali itinerary was — Nusa Penida, Ubud and the beach clubs. Pickups were prompt and the hotels were exactly as shown. Will travel with them again.

The houseboat in Alleppey and Munnar tea estates were the highlights. Communication before the trip was clear and the captain was super helpful throughout.

As a solo female traveller I felt completely safe on the Meghalaya trip. Well-paced itinerary, good stays and a friendly group. Tripper Trails has a great system.

Pangong, Nubra and Khardung La were unreal. Acclimatisation was handled responsibly and the food was surprisingly good. Five stars from our group of six.
