I was travelling Solo and my guide and driver was Prakash. As well as a good driver and providing an excellent service, (always available) he is also very knowledgeable about the people, culture and areas visited on this tour. There is flexibility in the itinerary and Prakash arranged and organised a local to guide me on a hike to the top of the Himalayas. A definite for those fit enough. Such a magical experience. I really enjoyed the Hone Stay at his house. His family were very hospitable and lovely. This experience is what stands out from other tours. It's an immersion in the areas culture.

Trip date: March 2025 - AAnonymous· November 13th, 2024"I booked a tour to Shimla Manali with my 3 friends. The booking process was simple and the whole tour was explained to us properly. Our tour driver and guide was prakash .Our driver and guide was incredibly knowledgeable and saw that the tour program was scheduled and on time and he has very good driving skills on all hilly roads.We learned about history, art, culture, and much more. The scenery was beautiful. We had a lot of fun at Rohtang Pass, ziplining, ropeway riding, and river rafting. We enjoyed the cultural show that Payless arranged at the end of the tour. We were happy with all the arrangements and proper care was taken of us. I would like to thank Prakash for being a wonderful driver cum guide because of whom we had a fantastic trip. This is my 2nd trip with Payless tour looking forward to more.And at the last thanks.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewWe are so satisfied to receive such a positive feedback regarding our services and Paylsstoursindia team.
