Overall it was good experience. Though Shimla/Manali is overhyped places, if you don't witness SnowFall, it's not worth spending money River rafting, Paragliding

ood quality was also very good. The driver they provide us is friendly and good in nature. Driving was very smooth. Car was clean, and helped us to tie our luggage. Special Thanks to Sandeep who has taken care of everything.
