A FEW POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND BEFORE BOOKING SILK ROUTE TOUR PACKAGES.

The first and most important thing to keep in mind is that "Never Expect 5 Star Luxury" during travelling Silk Route. As it is a mountainous and remote destination, most of the accommodation is Home Stay with basic necessities. You can not expect luxury meals, furniture, mineral water etc there.

If you are travelling with an elderly person or Children, try to skip night halt at high altitude areas. Gnathang Valley or Nathang Valley is very popular among Silk Route Travellers and is popularly known as the "Ladakh of East India". Situated at an altitude of 13,500 ft. Above sea level, Nathang Valley is one of the most beautiful places during Silk Route Tour. But this high altitude can lead to dizziness, headaches and vomiting among the aged and children. So it's better to avoid this place for them and send them back to lower Zuluk or make a day sightseeing trip.

If you are a snow lover and want to make a snowman, carry a good amount of woollen garments, sweaters, jackets, hand gloves, caps etc to beat the chilling cold.

Don't forget to carry sunglasses, transparent glasses, a torch, a gas lighter, a power bank, small knives and the necessary toolbox with you.

Carry adequate medicine and a first aid box. It should be a must-have on your list.

Carry Original and Photocopy of voter ID Cards, and at least 4 copy passport-size photographs for Silk Route Permit. For minors, ration cards or Birth Certificates in mandatory.

Carry enough cash with you as ATMs are not adequate during Silk Route and often run out of cash/link/power supply.

1.Tour itinerary : Excellentlly designed by Debarati and Anirudhha da.
2. Hotels:
Villa in Pataya was excellent and spacious , though from Villa you can't communicate with Hotel staffs as there is no intercom service in Villa...You actually don't need even. Two Swimming pools are very clean and nice. Hotel room in Grand Mercure Atrium was also awesome in Bangkok. Nice breakfast.
3. Service and Guides:
This is the main part of your tour if you travel with your family. And in this part Meilleur deserve 5star as when and where required they promptly took action and tried to solved. tour guides and drivers of cars were very cordial, gentle, well behaved. Specially I would like to mention 'Phupho' in jungle safari who is so cute and always smiling face. Lila was also very good.

Good cooperation from Meilleur Holidays and made our trip comfortable. Wonderful trip over 10 days 09 nights. Hindu temple visit in Batu cave on the way to Genting Hiland and delicious Dosa in breakfast i ever ate in India. Natural beauty and walk in cloud above 6000ft from sea level in Genting Hiland was charming and one night stay in Genting Hiland with dinner in Malaysian style will made the evening more enjoyable. Next two days and two night in Kuala Lumpur city along with KL and Twin Tower visit was my dream. Sea beauty and Cable car ride through cloud in Langkawi Island along with beauty of city were immemorable. Collection of marine animal and birds in Langkawi aquarium i ever seen. two days and two nights in Langkawi print a idea in our mind that beauty of Malaysia is the concise form of beauty of whole Asia. Rest of 5 days and 4 nights in Singapore gave us opportunity to enjoy the Garden of Bay, Pleasant wind from sea of Santosa Island and collection of Maddame Tassaud museum were unforgettable. No one can realise the international level of collection in Singapore zoo along with animal show and light and sound show technology in Santosa without visit. I enjoyed food in Indian, Western, Japanese and Malaysian preparation in all places. Don't forget to carry a light warm cloth and umbrella for cable car journey in both Genting Highland and Langkawi Island. Currency exchange were little bit of difficult locally in Genting Hiland and Langkawi Island. So, do it in Kuala Lumpur City/Airports. If you want to see any place by your own then you can book taxi through Grab apps. One thing always keep in mind that in Singapore local tourist vehicle operators used to maintain a strict timetable and your drop and pick up vehicle may not be of same number and even may not be of same capacity. If you miss, no need to panic. Book taxi through Zig apps. Automatic technology in Airports must be accepted in our country also.
