I know a few people in my office who have gone on tours conducted by Chalo Jai. ALL of them have serious complaints about the arrangements of the tours. I completely agree with what Sumit Basak says about the lack of good accomodation, lack of good food, lack of proper destination coverage by Chalo Jai. That is the reports I get to know from my friends.
Bibek Chakraborty says 'maybe the expectations of the traveller were very high', but I know all my friends who were disappointed with Chalo Jai come from middle-class families and had expectations of comfortable stay, good food, and correct arrangements for the tours. This was what was promised to them when booking the tours, and so the expectations were according to that. Chalo Jai did not meet those expectations. If Bibek Chakraborty has low expectations, I am sure Chalo Jai can meet this level of low expectations. It seems Bibek Chakraborty is happy with dirty hotels and bad food, which means he has never experienced a good hotel and good food, so cannot compare.
CHALO JAI SHOULD BE AVOIDED, unless you are happy with dirty hotels and bad food!!!

Tour and Travel — thanks for group tour in bangkok
it was a verry nice organes from 101 club we all injoy it and we its so nice 1:1 1000rs with tour pak I booked Arunachal Pradesh package tour through Chalo Jaai Travel Club, one of big tour operators in Kolkata and toured Guwahati, Bhalukpong, Dhirang, Bomdilla & Tawang with them during the post puja vacations this year 2010. I have toured several places in India independently in the past, but this was the horrible experience for me with a ‘reputed’ tour operator. The kind of experience I went through dealing with Chalo Jaai, was simply worst.
The four Tata sumo vehicles booked by the operators for the journey at Guwahati were not in good condition and one or the other broke down during the journey period.
Any package tour's success is totally dependent on the tour manager how he manages the show. The tour manager was unskilled and managed the tour in a poor state. For most of the time he could not arrange to depart from a place of halt according to the scheduled departure time as a consequence of which the tour members reached their destined hotels late at night in this mountaineous North East region. He was not able to coordinate the vehicles booked for the journey. At one instance our vehicle ran short of fuel and we were wondering whether we were able to reach our destined place (Tawang) or spent the whole night on the mountain road side.
Chalo Jaai travel club could not provide good food, comfortable travel and good coverage of the destination – in short meet basic expectations. The most surprising fact was that evening snacks was skipped for few days. Chalo Jaai as concluded by almost all the tour members on this tour is a mis-managed, un-professional tour company providing worst possible service for the premium amount they charge. For the heavy price that the we paid on this tour in terms of time and money, most of the tour members were dissatisfied and mentally very upset after returning from the tour. We underwent a most traumatic experience during the entire period of journey. We feel that we are being cheated by Chalo Jaai for our hard earned money. Some of my co-passengers who have traveled with Kundu Special are of the opinion that the services provided by Kundus are superior and unmatchable.
