Shankar and the Kerala group: a spiritual journey: Shankar, from Kerala: Hello, my name is Shankar and I come from Kerala. The Valley of Flowers was on our bucket list, and we made it after more than 10 years. For most of us, it was a spiritual journey, where we turned inward and learnt more about ourselves and our bond with nature. For this wonderful journey, I thank Blue Poppy Holidays, Seema ji and Devkant ji. You do not know what you have given to us. We have just paid the bills, but we carry much more value back home.
A group of five at Blue Poppy Premier, Joshimath: A group of five: We are a group of five people. We had a wonderful experience. We came with a lot of apprehensions, of course, but it is such a well-curated experience. Seema and Devkant are so hands-on in caring for that experience. We did not know we could do this. We were quite apprehensive, but Blue Poppy Holidays, you made it happen. Thank you so very much.
A senior guest from Chennai who came alone: A guest from Chennai: They are well organised. They make you feel safe. I wouldn't have come this far if it was not for them. I am a senior, so you can imagine how safe it is to trust them. "And you came alone?" Yes, I came alone. I spoke to the co-founder, Mrs Seema. She is the one who motivated me to come. I am from Chennai, so you can imagine how far I have come. Everybody should do it once in their lifetime.
A 61st birthday on the Gorson Bugyal trek, Auli: On her 61st birthday: I am around 61, and today is my birthday. A very nice gift from my family: my son planned it, my husband sponsored it. I am enjoying my trip. It's heavenly, awesome, picturesque. I love this place. I found it a bit difficult, but I made it, because everyone here motivates you. They give you rest when you want rest, juice when you want juice. It was really good.
A first-time trekker: is the trek difficult?: Shoria, a first-time trekker: Can a first-timer do the Valley of Flowers trek? Shoria ji is here for the first time too. Shoria ji, how are you feeling? Very good! It's a very simple trek. I've never really trekked before in my life. It's not difficult at all. You cross one or two streams, and that's great fun. Just keep your fitness up a little, and you'll enjoy it even more.
A family with an 11-year-old: We travelled as a family, my husband and my 11-year-old son, with Blue Poppy Holidays, for this Valley of Flowers trek. We trekked to the Valley of Flowers. The whole trekking experience was very convenient.
Our Swiss cottage camps at Ghangaria: Her husband: The camp is just before Ghangaria. Really nice tents, and extremely good service. You call someone, and he comes running with hot water, with food, with anything you need. When you are this well taken care of, you can do a hard trek stress-free.
A group leader on guide Jaideep: A group leader: Blue Poppy Holidays is doing a wonderful job. I really recommend everybody to go on a trek with Blue Poppy Holidays, and ask for Mr Jaideep specially, because he is a wonderful guide, a caring guide, and he takes care of all your needs. On behalf of my group, I sincerely recommend: if at all you want to go on a trek, please go only with Blue Poppy Holidays.
On the Gorson Bugyal trek: Blue Poppy Holidays' organisation for this trek was really good. From last night's dinner to breakfast to the packed lunch, the food was very good. Our guide is extremely knowledgeable, and the support staff are very helpful and hospitable. We've had a great time so far.
Valley of Flowers and Gorson Bugyal: After the Valley of Flowers, coming back to the camp is the best part, because after such a tiring trek, they take such good care of you. The chai, the pakodas, everything is done the right way. And the love too.
A Jain group in our restaurant: A Jain group: The Jain food here is very good for us, exactly the way we need it. Taste-wise too it's very good. No problem at all. The food is good, the taste is good, and the staff are very cooperative.
Guests from Hyderabad at Blue Poppy Premier: Guests from Hyderabad: Hi, we are from Hyderabad. We have come to Blue Poppy Premier Resort, run by Devkant and Seema, and we are having a wonderful time here. It's beautiful here. The food, the ambience, the garden: it's like heaven on earth. We are really enjoying our stay. The food is absolutely top-notch.
Manjula from Pune: Manjula, from Pune: It's so lovely here that I don't feel like going back. You must all come and visit. And the best part: you get the whole organic, farm-to-table food here.
A family from Surat and Navsari: Hello friends, we are from Surat and Navsari, Gujarat. We are very happy to visit this place, Vishnuprayag, and very happy with the hospitality of Blue Poppy Holidays. They are excellent people. Everything is excellent.
Premila from Chennai: Premila, from Chennai: Hi everybody, I'm Premila from Chennai. I'm with Blue Poppy Holidays. Today is the 9th of July, 2024. A lot of family told me not to go, because of the rains. No, it has not been like that. The journey has been amazing.
More guests, 2025: A guest: Finally, thank you so much, Mr Devkant ji, and thank you, Blue Poppy Holidays, for giving me this experience. It was my dream, and today it came true. Thank you so much! A guest: If you really want to enjoy yourself, don't forget to stay at Blue Poppy Resorts. That is the ultimate place to stay.
The Kerala group says goodbye: From the Kerala group: For me, to sum it all up in one go: hospitality, excellence, the human touch, and unbelievably memorable moments that we will never forget in our life. Thank you so much, Blue Poppy Holidays, Devkant ji and Seema ji.
