Sikkim’s Stunning Scenery, Thrillophilia’s Stressful Strife We visited the magnificent state of Sikkim through Thrillophilia. We loved every inch of this beautiful place, but the ghastly experience we had with this company cannot just be written down in a paragraph. There was hardly any communication between Thrillophilia and the local vendor. The drivers were not informed of much and refused to take the cars forward, demanding extra money for places already included in the itinerary. Our tour operator’s ‘efforts’ to sort things out only made everything worse. We ourselves were the managers, coordinators, and mode of communication between the drivers and agency. Most of the trip was spent reasoning with the drivers, calling people for them and basically being everybody’s pawns. Chaos erupted around every corner (literally!). Our time sightseeing was spent worrying whether we would be driven to the next spot or if we were just going to spend another drab day at our hotel. Sikkim did not fail to wow us with its towering mountains and mesmerising landscapes, but due to Thrillophilia, the trip was a world away from the relaxing escape everyone had hoped for. When we returned home, the trouble that had been caused overpowered the delightful memories of places we’d seen, and it was a relief that we could finally have peace without having to deal with rude, swearing drivers, endless arguments, phone calls and of course, awful travel companies. It’s impossible to put into words the infinite problems. All I can say, if you don’t value money, time, peace of mind and good holidays, Thrillophilia should be on the top of your list. It robs you from all of that.
