On a trek my friend and i came across the wild walkers and soon realized their accommodation would suit us more as they were right near the natural landscape, they had villagers working there on the crops who were really friendly, fresh food made from local products and treks with experienced trekkers. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience getting away from technology and meeting locals who knew the land well. There is so much to see and learn about from luscious plants, to edible fruits and tracking animals! We only stayed there for one night so didn't see any elephants but they were nearby. It was great to bathe with fresh eucalyptus in the morning and playing cards by the fire at night. Overall it was just what we were looking for feeling close to nature! Thanks to all there for a great experience! Matt and Joe

I booked a domestic, international Meet and Assist transit service with your company for the first time. To say that I am very pleased with the service is to say nothing. I was met with a name placard just at the aircraft, taken by cart to a luggage pick-up area, and stayed at an arrival lounge for several hours to wait for my international flight check-in. Your customer service representative, Ajay, was extremely professional and attentive, really took great care of me as a solo female traveler with a few big suitcases, it was important to me to get an assist and feel safe during my transit time. When the time for my check-in came, another employee, Beny, with her colleague, accompanied me to the check-in counters and helped me go through all the procedures, taking me straight to my boarding gates. It was the best airport experience I had in India. Definitely worth every penny. Highly recommended!
