Fraud, Cheat, Drunkard, Drug Addict Drivers

Attention! Tourists planning to visit Kalpa-Kinnaur Side of Himachal Pradesh, here is a precaution for all of you.

Herewith, I shall share with all of you the misery that we had to suffer concerning the vehicle, Traveller that we have booked from Chandigarh and thought that our journey is going to be really a memorable one (though it became but in negative sense) completely forgetting the say that "All's well that ends well". 

During our journey Delhi to Kalka via Kalka mail, when our train came to a halt at Chandigarh station, some agents handed over their cards through the window to me saying that they would arrange cars for our tour which I have already explained to them. I took the card somehow very casually and kept that if we may need it in future. Look at these:

Kindly note down the numbers on the card and the names if you are going to visit Himachal Pradesh in near future. No not because they are experts in hospitality but because they are CHEAT, FRAUD, UNHELPFUL, UNCOUTH. WE HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER FOR THEM.

During our stay at Hotel Lord's Garden at Shoghi, we contacted with the number of Mr. Sanju to book the traveller for our upcoming 11 days tour. He eventually sent two Punjabi guys from Chandigarh along with one agent Mr. Arun. We thought since Punjabis are very kind hearted and service minded, our journey needs such people. The amount confirmed as Rs. 45000 for the vehicle for Shoghi pick up to Ambala drop (since our booking for train to Delhi was from Ambala). The amount was to be paid as Rs.20000 before boarding vehicle and rest of the amount on the finish of our journey. But we had hardly any premonition that our next couple of days with them are going to be a NIGHTMARE.

The two guys-Indar and Jitendar-are DRUNKARD, DRUG ADDICTED, UNCOUTH who always demanded money with excuses of loading oil in the tank, paying for friend's tyre etc. and we being helpless in the remote areas of Kaza, Tabo, agreed with them and paid them ehat they demanded though the contract was not like that. They always showed tantrums before going to any place from Tabo though we had discussed with them and even SMSd them our tour plan before boarding their vehicle. Thus, our tour started to be nightmare.Here is the guy Jitendar (I took it quite casually at Jeori)

They could manage Rs. 35000 from us upto Kaza and always tried to dissuade us from going to Keylong and stay at Manali though we had already booked all the hotels and journey from Keylong to Udaipur & Trilokinath. It took almost 10 hours to reach to Keylong from Kaza via NH5. And as soon as we reached the Highway, they tried to make board a public transport and when we didn't accept that, though they took us to the hotel at Keylong, and left us there at the HP Tourism guest house and boldly said that they would go to Manali and would not return. We just had our earth snatched way from our feet to hear that. We were helpless completely knowing nothing of the place. Such people should not be tolerated. But what do we do? We had five female members in our group. Two senior citizens. I thought first we need to get rid of this situation by arranging some vehicle to go to Udaipur and then Mandi; then we will move on to lodge FIR against them. Somehow, we could manage to get to Delhi on schedule but with utter tension and drainage of money. Such people who do not respect the travelers for whom they can earn their bread & butter should be put immediately behind the bars. WHAT A NIGHTMARE WE HAD FOR THEM!
