A hell of an experience travelling with Tripper trails.I enjoyed every bit of it. I went solo and met some amazing people on the trip.The trip captain, Amit is a nice guy and he makes sure you have a memorable and fun trip. He is also flexible in changing the itinerary a bit if all the travellers agree to it. I have travelled with them twice already and looking for more fun trips. Kudos to the team.

"It isn't how much time you spend in a place for sight seeing that makes it memorable, but It's how and whom you spend the time with." Just give your time and days to Tripper Trails, and they will make sure you get the best out of those. A well coordinated group of Captains leading you all along throughout, ensuring that you enjoy each second of your journey. Even though we went in a group of 3, came back in a group of 20+ taking a lot of good memories to treasure for the rest of our lives😇. Well coordinated, good hospitality, safety ensured with crazy memories, many more to say..... Thank you Captains, Mr Amit, Mr Vinay and Mr Prathik . Enjoyed the trip to its each inch. Recommending the same for anybody who seek a weekend or other trips offered by Tripper Trails.
