Subject: Feedback of our India trip

Dear Durjay,

We are back to the usual routine here in the States with the children on their long summer vacation. It was great to meet you at your home with your lovely wife and daughters. It's too bad that we spent such a short time together as we enjoyed the company and conversation.

Ashwin was thrilled with his stickers.

We would like to give you our feedback from our vacation, and we have broken this down in chronologic order. 

Being met at the airport : We were met by  Vikram and he was very welcoming and had us settled into the Hotel very quickly.

Park Hotel:   Very comfortable.

Shatabdi Express to Amritsar: This was an excellent journey and a good experience for the children. The food and service on Indian Railways was also very good.

Ranjit Svaasa Hotel: This was an excellent hotel and we would recommend it highly. The rooms were very good and the overall service and ambience of the hotel very appealing. The food was wonderful and the staff who ran the hotel were also very welcoming.

Golden Temple: Visit was a good experience. With the guide we were able to avoid the long queue, which was appreciated because it was very hot. Having the guide was also helpful in terms of providing the history and background. 

Gate Closing ceremony: This was a good experience for the family. I would encourage you to suggest to future visitors who come in the summer to bring a towel, to sit on as the seating area was very hot. Also bring plenty of water

Chandigarh: Taj hotel was excellent.

Toy train from Kalka to Shimla: This was a great journey and experience for everyone. Highly recommended

Springfields Hotel, Shimla: This hotel had good food but basically needed an overhaul. Tattapani and Naldhera: This was a great excursion. The horse ride in Naldhera we would highly recommend. The horses were well cared for and the guides friendly and good natured. 

Kufri: We would not recommend this at all. The area was busy and overcrowded with vehicles, horses and people.

Chail Palace: Poorly run hotel. The description of the hotel on the web is deceptive. For a building which had significant local history it was disappointing. 

Kashauli: Interesting town. The hotel staff was unable to provide any historical perspective and did not seem knowledgeable about the area. The trip up to Hanuman Temple Monkey Point was great. Spectacular views 

Chandigarh: We enjoyed our stay and were able to see the important sights, the Rock Garden is well worth a visit as is the Rose garden. We also managed to do some shopping in Sector 17 market, which is also to be recommended.

Delhi: We enjoyed our stay. The Akshardham temple was magnificent. We would highly suggest that visitors also eat there as the facilities and restaurant were very clean and well run. We also went to Dilli Haat bazaar which was very good.

We overall enjoyed our trip to India. We were very happy with our Driver and we had no problem because Sudhir speaks Hindi, someone else may have had difficulty. The schedule did specify a Hindi and English speaking driver. 

Having the mobile phone was great as it allowed us to keep in communication with Compass as well as with the Driver. Compass were very flexible in the way that that our requests could be accommodated. 

We hope this feedback is helpful. We look forward to further communications. Best wishes to your family.

Sudhir and Kay
