Had an absolutely incredible trip exploring Manali, Solang, Sethan, Khokhsar, Sissu, and Darcha, all the way up to Shinkula Pass and Shinkula Top, thanks to Travel Coffee! A huge shoutout to Preeti Jasyal, who helped us a lot throughout the process. She is an amazing person and went above and beyond to help us create the perfect booking. The entire service was seamless and highly effective, and the hotels she selected for us were absolutely amazing with great comfort and views. Driving through those massive mountain terrains can be daunting, but their flawless coordination made the entire journey stress-free. If you're planning a trip to Leh, Ladakh, Spiti, or any of these mountain regions, Travel Coffee is the way to go!
I, being a senior citizen travelled solo with Travel Coffee for Spiti Valley and Chandratal Lake for 8N/9D. It was an amazing trip, well organised with decent hotels. Vanshika from Travel Coffee supported me, took great care of me till the very end. I enjoyed a lot and am looking forward to join any upcoming trips in future
Our Delhi to Kaza round-trip with Travel Coffee was incredible! Huge thanks to Manju ma'am (Manju Mehta) for her flawless management and organization throughout. Special gratitude to our driver, Negi bhai (Prakash Negi), whose expert driving skills kept us completely safe on the challenging Spiti roads. Highly recommend them for a seamless, unforgettable adventure!
