I had a wonderful experience with my first international trip which was Balu. Since its my first time visit, I has relatively very low to no experience & PickmyTrail guided me each step. They answered numerous questions that I was holding & supported me throughout my journey. Solo travel is fun but its safe when you are guided in right way throughout the trip. Thank you guys!

Trip was excellent. Just few things u guys need to improve. Firstly , u guys can try giving a city tour on the very first day to enhance the knowledge about the place. Secondly, try to keep a single driver for a day. Otherwise everything was good. No complains. Harish.S , our trip custodian was very helpful and was on his toes during the whole trip. Thank u Harish for ur guidance and amiability. Overall i would like to thank pick ur trail for making our trip inconvenience free and memorable. Tysm
