“thrillophilia is the best travel agent I have ever had the pleasure of experience with. I've traveled many times over the past , and have never experienced such thorough planning, attention to detail, and excellent communication before, during, and after my trip. overall the management is good. Thank you Thrillophilia”
“Thrillophilia did a good job in our kedarkantha trek. From Dehradun to Sankri we got a personal cab to travel. Also the team was regularly in touch with us in case we needed any help or to coordinate at the base camps. Regular phone calls to coordinate with the local team while starting and also after the trip ended was a thumbs up from my side. The package was reasonable and provided better service. Thumbs up to Thrillophilia team. Looking forward to go to more such adventure trips through Thrillophilia.”
“This time Thrillophilia just did commissioning job during Europe package. The package was executed very well by Europamundi.
Thrillophilia disappointed me to the core. I only had to follow up for my package details. Even for getting invoice towards my package, they r asking me to login in app and raise a ticket. Wat kind of response is that. This time they had be very good to followup with payment only but left loads of doubt in back end followup. am very disappointed with Thrillophilia team.
Thrillophilias services are degrading”
“Truly enjoyed our trip to Sikkim & Darjeeling
Truly enjoyed our trip to Sikkim & Darjeeling. The itinerary was well thought off and our POC Himanshu explained everything quite well. The rooms had all the important amenities and our stay was comfortable. The Narula experience at Gangtok was great, Overall, it was a trip to remember and would recommend Thrillophilia to all.”
“We recently booked a tour to Singapore and Bali through Thrillophilia, and overall, it was a memorable experience.
The booking process was seamless, and Thrillophilia did a great job organizing our trip. Singapore was absolutely wonderful—well-managed, clean, and safe with top-notch accommodations and activities.
However, Bali was a bit lacking in comparison. We needed additional back support, which Thrillophilia promptly arranged. There was also an issue with the payment terms, as Mr. Tanishq was unable to fulfill the agreed terms, causing some inconvenience. Despite this, we resolved the situation.
Thrillophilia also added some delightful complimentary activities such as a floating breakfast, candlelight dinner, and Balinese massage, which were the icing on the cake and made our Bali experience more enjoyable.
Overall, despite minor setbacks in Bali, we had a great trip and would consider using Thrillophilia for our next adventure. Their service and support were commendable. Rating: 4.5 stars.”
“Thrillophilia & Back in Adventure Trek - SAR Pass Trek (June 1-5, 2024) - Review
This review details my experience with Thrillophilia (facilitator) and Back in Adventure (ground service provider) for the SAR Pass trek in Kasol, Himachal Pradesh (June 1-5, 2024).
Issues with Thrillophilia:
* Communication Breakdown: Despite interactions with Arjun, Rohit, and Kumkum, information wasn't relayed to Back in Adventure, leading to unmet expectations.
* Misinformation on Costs: Porter charges were nearly double what I was quoted, and Thrillophilia offered no assistance in resolving the issue.
* Subcontractor: The trek was operated by Back in Adventure, a low-standard service provider for treks.
* Double Sharing Discrepancy: Despite paying extra for double sharing, a single sleeping mat and substandard tents were provided, unlike what other companies offered.
Issues with Back in Adventure:
* Rushing Through the Trek: The guide prioritized reaching campsites quickly, neglecting the scenic beauty of the journey.
* Minimal Time at Sar Pass: Disappointingly, only 5 minutes were spent at the summit, a significant letdown for a 5-day trek.
* Unhealthy Food: Meals were excessively oily with no regard for a balanced diet, unlike other trekking companies.
* Insufficient Food Portions: Food quantities were limited, and requests for more were often met with denial or judgment.
* Lack of Nutrition on Long Days: An 8-hour trek with just one flatbread and two potato pieces is unacceptable.
* No Warm-up/Cool-down: Unlike other companies, there were no pre-trek or post-trek stretches, increasing injury risk.
* Missing Briefings: The guide neglected to provide daily briefings, even when requested. His overall demeanour was arrogant.
* Safety Concerns: Spikes, crucial for snow sections, were not provided, leading to multiple falls and an ankle injury for a fellow trekker. This carelessness highlights safety lapses.
* Hot Water Issues: Basic necessities like hot water were frequently denied, showcasing a disregard for trekkers' comfort.
* Disregarded Medical Needs: Despite requesting a double sleeping mat for additional cushioning due to a medical condition, none was provided throughout the trek.
* Missing First-aid Kit: The guide lacked a first-aid kit, a critical safety measure on any trek.
Recommendations:
* Avoid Thrillophilia: Due to their use of sub-par service providers and communication issues, I recommend looking elsewhere for trekking services.
* Do Your Research: I encountered reputable companies like Kailashrath, Trek the Himalayas, and TSS during the trek. Research and compare before booking.
* Get Everything in Writing: Confirm all details and inclusions in writing before starting the trek to avoid misunderstandings.
* Prioritize Acclimatization: Choose a trekking company that prioritizes acclimatization before the trek. This is crucial for adjusting to high altitudes and preventing altitude sickness.
* Safety First: Select a company that prioritizes your safety above all else. This includes providing proper gear, experienced guides, and a focus on well-being throughout the trek.
I hope this review helps others choose a safe and enjoyable trekking experience.”
“Thrillophilia review
This was the best trekking experience that I have had in my life! I had booked this trip via Thrillophilia. Even before the start of this trip, the agent (Shashank) with whom we had inquired about the trek was extremely helpful and patient while solving all our queries. He had given us all the necessary information regarding the trek in a very detailed and elaborate manner and I have to say, before the beginning of the trip, we already had a very good idea of what to expect on the trek.
With the support and Thrillophilia and Himalaya shelter team, Everything was perfect and the trek was beyond my expectations (11/10). This review is not only based on my own experiences but also my trek team members with whom I had completed the trek:
1) Transportation- When we reached Dehradun at 5:30 a.m, the driver informed us that he will be present there to pick us up at sharp 7:30 a.m. However, when he was informed that many people are present at the pick-up point, the driver reached there at 7 am so that nobody has to wait for a longer duration. It was such a good gesture on the part of the driver as during that time, everything was closed in Dehradun and there wasn’t any place where we could wait for a longer period of time
2) Stay - The stay was very comfortable and the tents were of superb quality! After we reached sankri, a hotel with triple sharing was arranged with us which had all the modern accessories and the comfort of any good hotel. The washrooms were very good and the room was warm and cozy with multiple things such as night stands, cupboards, geaser facility etc. It was -3 degree temperature in Sankri at 9 pm but the room was cozy and we were provided with thick blankets because of which we did not feel the bitter cold in the night.
When we reached our first campsite near Juda Ka talab, the tents were neat and spacious and were of good quality. After these tents were zipped, you could be assured that not even a small amount of the cold winds would reach the inside of the tents. Along with it, the sleeping bags were comfortable and were of free-size which was easy for everyone to get in and out and sleep peacefully. The tents were also located close of each other because of which it was very easy for all of us to interact with each other and navigate ourselves to the dining area and other places.
3) Food- Food is where I was surprised by the arrangements. Everyday we were served with the best quality of food which was full of flavours and had all the important nutrition ingredients required for us to complete the trek. There was variety in every meal and we were served the meals in a uniform order (breakfast, snacks,
Lunch, evening snacks and subsequently dinner). Along with the meals, we were also served with deserts which were Gulab jamuns, Coconut barfi, seviyan kheer etc. which no one could have expected to get in such a place.
4) Trekking and guide experience- This is the most important part of the review. To complete the trek we were given Trekking poles (exclusive of the trip costs), Crampons and gators (at no extra costs) which were very helpful for us during trekking. In case anyone missed some important things during their packing (woollen socks, jackets, track pants) they could be purchased additionally from the rental shop available at the camp site. Every single day before we were set to begin the treks, we were given a thorough briefing about the trek, what all can you encounter and what to carry with you for the trek and I have to say that it was very accurate- we followed their instructions to the word and there wasn’t even a single moment where we found discomfort or felt that we do not have the appropriate gear for us to complete the trek with ease. It was a very challenging but safe trek and our guides - Surendra Rana sir and Thoiba sir were always there with us to ensure there isn’t any injury or accident that can happen to us during the trek.
THIS EXPERIENCE WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN AMAZING WITHOUT RANA SIR AND THOIBA SIR!!! During the summit when we were extremely tired and were on the verge of giving up, they motivated us and gave us useful insights because of which we ended up climbing the top of the summit only because of their support and guidance. This was the best trek I have done so far and the credit goes to the team of Rana sir and thoiba sir and Priyal Ma’am from Thrillophilia. It was because of the trek that most of the members including me felt accomplished and satisfied with what we had seen and formed close bonds outside the trekking experience and are still connected with some of the members thanks to Thrillophilia 😉”

“It was my first winter trek at 12500ft.
Everything about this trip was a perfect blend of thrilling and challenging. The trek was simply magical; the views from the peak left us wordless, the campsite was comfortable and rustic and we found a new family in our trek group.”

“I had the best experience possible. Went on a solo Trek and it didn't feel at all that I was alone. Good friends and guides were there always. All the staff present to help us was helpful and welcoming. The trek was little bit challenging but guides helped us all the way. The homestay was exceptional. The food served to us was wholesome and tasty as well. Would go for it again for sure. All round excellent trip”

“We had booked our flights through thrillophillia for our Kenya trip. While we did recently discover that the return flights were cancelled by the carrier themselves, we informed the same to Vivekanandha and he was able to help with the refund (the amount is yet to be processed) by working with the flight team and provide us with alternate options for the return. Vivekandha was prompt, always available to provide information before/during the trip. He had also followed up with us during the trip and ensured that the trip went safely.”

“We had gone for long vacation (family of 4) of 6 days in Vietnam, 2 days in Combodia and 6 days in Thailand.
The 6 days in Vietnam was beyond our expectations. The place and the people were very friendly. The itinerary was very clear which covered many activities in a day. The guides who came with us were very sweet. By the end of the trip in Vietnam we felt that the days were not enough. My kids enjoyed alot.
The next 2 days in Combodia was also very good. The main sightseeing was the day tour to the Wats. There were many. Just seeing the few important Wats will be enough. We din't go to the sunset point as my kids were tired by then. It's a place worth seeing. Maybe if we had an extra day we would have seen the remaining adventure spots there. The guide and the driver was very sweet and helpful too.
The next 6 days in Thailand was fine. There were alot to see but due to certain changes in our travel we missed few spots. 1 day in Bangkok was around the Buddha temples which was worth it. Next we went to Pattaya were our 1 day trip was around water sports activities (parasailing, underwater sea walk, jet ski, banana boat). That was also worth it. The next place was Phuket, there also the day trip was around the beach but we were allowed only one activity. That was quite disappointing. Had we had a clear idea of what the day trip would be earlier we would have gone for other activities around Phuket which was plenty.
Except for the last day, the rest of the trip was excellent. The kids enjoyed alot. We had no issues with the food. Indian food was available every where.
I would definitely recommend this trip.”
