What our Clients Say About Us

I went on a trip to Meghalaya and Kaziranga with Justwravel and it was a great experience. Their itinerary covered the important spots and we had ample time to explore places properly. The travel arrangements were up to the mark as well. The trip leaders, Sashanka and Anubhav made sure that everything went smoothly and all of us had great interactions with them throughout the trip.

Harshraj Sejpal

Unforgettable Experience in Bhutan with Abhijay Rating: 5/5 I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bhutan, and Abhijay's exceptional hospitality and guidance made it an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, Abhijay went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and safety. His in-depth knowledge of Bhutan's culture, history, and landscapes was impressive, and he shared his insights with enthusiasm and passion. Abhijay's warm smile and welcoming nature made me feel at home, and his attention to detail was remarkable. Thanks to Abhijay, I experienced the best of Bhutan, and I highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip. His dedication to providing an exceptional experience is truly commendable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable host in Bhutan, look no further than Abhijay. He's the best!"

Lovely & lifetime memorable experience to travel with Just Wravel... JW. A special Thanks to My Brother Amit Umbrajkar who has taken initiative for this tour and made it happen thru JW. This was an expedition / Adventure to ride bike in rough terrain of Leh Ladakh - Zojila pass to Shrinagar and completed dream safely. Well designed and managed tour programme. Personal attention was given to all bikers. Good quality personal safety, protection gears and kits were given. Amazing high quality - level 2 riding gears have really made us feel safe and protected... Pl may search benefits of it on net. Every support for Medical and other requirements were promptly served. Well maintained bikes and mechanic support team is skilled and have provided proper Services. Mr Arvind, Dr Nishant and Mr Ramanik are very experienced, efficient, cooperative and matured team leaders who have taken all care of group members. All hotel and food arrangements were up to the mark and so proper health maintained during tour. A proper micro level briefing/ instruction for next day route was given so even riding for first time we felt the challenges of terrains were not unknown and so biking / driving was safe & secured. Time schedules, luggage handling, team group bikes one marshal and followed by another JW biker along with back up van has taken care of entire group and necessary support was provided. In total excellent experience as a biker and with spouse we completed this expedition safely. Excellent mentoring on bike handling/ riding tips given and helped us a lot. Big Special Thanks for JW team to arrange a seats in Tempo Traveller to our spouses in rough terrains which made us ride bike safe as a driver and also as a pillion they were safe in TT. 🙏 We 3 brother have participated with spouse's and One bike got punctured and maintenance van overtaken all but Dr Nishant and Mr Arvind have personally taken efforts and called Van at the spot, but it took long time so both of them had to wait in unknown area alone. This could have been avoided. But after that the Van has followed all and proper care was taken. Time slots for sightseeing and covered spots has given us pleasure of visiting beautiful scenic places. Visit to Leh Hall of Fame & Kargil was touchy & unforgettable experience. May increase time there. We are very Happy Happy Happy....!!! Thanks for lovely company to my family Swati, Abhay, Dr Kalyani, Amit & Kshama..!!! Finally, Will surely suggest my friends and family to prefer JW and I will too. Now ...Meghalaya calling with JW...😊

Suhas Joshi

It’s always been an incredible experience with Justwravel! Well organized, decent accommodations at affordable price and amazing staff right from sales to trip captains. I have done 3 trips already and the trip captains from all 3 trips have been amazing individuals, Shashank and Deeksha from Meghalaya trip, Aniket from Bhutan trip and Shashank and Kavindra from Ladakh trip Very flexible no rush captains. They all rather seemed like co-travelers and had great time together. If you are a solo traveler, or friends, or couples or siblings who want to meet new people and travel together, Justwravel has some really good itineraries and will help you accommodate throughout the trip.
