Prudhvi and Kruthika’s Journey Embracing the Charm and Splendour – A Thrillophilia Experience
“Some journeys leave you speechless, and others turn into stories you’ll tell for a lifetime.”
For Prudhvi Kumar Kokalla and Venkata Kruthika Bhanu Beecha, this 8-day journey across Switzerland was more than a vacation; it was the beginning of a lifetime of shared memories. As their first international holiday together, the trip symbolised both adventure and serenity, and thanks to Thrillophilia, every detail was perfectly planned and seamlessly executed.
Booking and Pre-Trip Experience
When the couple decided to explore Switzerland, they wanted an itinerary that balanced exploration with relaxed travel. After going through several Thrillophilia reviews, they were confident that this was the right platform to trust. From the very first inquiry, the experience was smooth and reassuring.
The Thrillophilia team, led by Akanksha and her colleagues, handled everything with precision. They guided the couple through flight suggestions and Swiss Travel Pass activation and even helped them curate a route that covered Lucerne, Interlaken, Gstaad, and Zurich. Communication was prompt, clear, and friendly. Every message came with a solution, making what could have been a stressful planning process feel simple and exciting.
By the time they boarded their flight to Zurich, both Prudhvi and Kruthika felt completely at ease, confident that they were in good hands.
Arrival and First Impressions: The Heart of Lucerne
Touching down in Zurich on 24 September 2024, the couple began their adventure with a scenic transfer to Lucerne. The crisp Alpine air, clean streets, and backdrop of snow-capped mountains instantly set the tone for the days ahead.
Their hotel overlooked Lake Lucerne, and after settling in, they decided to take a quiet evening walk along the waterfront. The calm waters, reflecting the soft golden sunset, felt like the perfect welcome to Switzerland. It was here, standing hand in hand by the famous Chapel Bridge, that they realised their long-awaited dream had just turned into reality.
The Swiss Continuous Pass, arranged through their Thrillophilia Tour Package, made their travel incredibly convenient. Trains were punctual, scenic, and comfortable, allowing them to explore at their own pace.
The Top of Europe – Jungfraujoch
The next morning, they set off for Jungfraujoch, famously known as “The Top of Europe.” The panoramic train ride through alpine valleys and snow tunnels was breathtaking. As the train climbed higher, the views became surreal, with glaciers glistening in the sunlight.
At 3,454 metres above sea level, standing on the viewing platform surrounded by snow was an unforgettable experience. Kruthika laughed as she tried to make her first snowball, while Prudhvi couldn’t stop taking photos of the magnificent Aletsch Glacier. They visited the Ice Palace, where sculptures shimmered under soft blue lights, and enjoyed a warm cup of Swiss hot chocolate before heading back to Lucerne.
It was a day they would never forget, one that perfectly captured the magic of Switzerland and the reliability of their Thrillophilia experience.
Mount Titlis and Lucerne City Tour
If Jungfraujoch was about grandeur, Mount Titlis was pure fun. The couple took the world’s first 360-degree revolving cable car, which offered an all-round view of snow-covered peaks. Once on top, they braved the Titlis Cliff Walk, Europe’s highest suspension bridge.
Later, they explored Lucerne’s old town with its pastel-painted buildings, the Lion Monument, and charming lakeside cafés. The guided city tour, organised smoothly through Thrillophilia, gave them a glimpse into Swiss culture and craftsmanship.
A Journey through the Alps- Glacier Express
Their fourth day was a dream for every scenic traveller — the Glacier Express, one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world. Huge glass windows revealed meadows, deep valleys, and snow-clad mountains that looked straight out of a painting.
The slow pace of the train allowed them to soak in every view. Kruthika called it a “moving postcard”, while Prudhvi simply sat back, taking it all in. Every turn of the track brought new beauty, making it one of their favourite experiences of the trip.
From Zurich to the Sweet Side of Switzerland
The next stop was Zurich, where they combined sightseeing with indulgence. Their first destination was the Rhine Falls, Europe’s largest waterfall. The sight of cascading water and mists rising in the sunlight was mesmerising. They took a short boat ride to get closer to the falls, an exhilarating experience.
Later, they headed to the Lindt Home of Chocolate, a paradise for every sweet lover. The guided tour took them through the fascinating journey of chocolate-making, ending with a tasting session that left them smiling (and a bit sugar high!).
The Interlaken and Grindelwald Adventure
No Switzerland trip is complete without Interlaken- the adventure capital. The couple took a day trip, wandering through the picturesque town and its cosy streets lined with bakeries and souvenir shops.
In Grindelwald, the scenery turned cinematic. Majestic mountains, green valleys, and rustic chalets made every moment feel like a fairytale. They captured countless pictures, shared laughs, and enjoyed a peaceful mountain lunch overlooking the peaks.
Glacier 3000 and the Glamour of Gstaad
On their seventh day, they visited Glacier 3000, where the snowy alpine world met adventure. The Peak Walk by Tissot, a suspension bridge connecting two mountain peaks, was both thrilling and beautiful. Walking across it with snowflakes falling lightly around felt straight out of a movie.
They then headed to Gstaad, a stylish mountain village known for its luxury boutiques and cafés. Strolling through the cobbled streets, they felt like they were in a European dream, where every corner was postcard-perfect.
Day 8: Farewell, Switzerland
As the journey came to an end, Prudhvi and Kruthika looked back at the incredible eight days they had spent in Switzerland. From the tranquil lakes of Lucerne to the snowy peaks of Jungfraujoch, every moment had been magical, and every detail was perfectly managed.
They especially appreciated how Akanksha from Thrillophilia stayed connected throughout the trip, ensuring smooth coordination and comfort at every step. Such personal attention turned what could have been an ordinary trip into an extraordinary one.
Reflections and Recommendations
Looking back, both agreed that choosing Thrillophilia Tour Packages was one of their best travel decisions. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, logistics were well-handled, and the team’s responsiveness set a new benchmark for customer care.
Their Thrillophilia experience was not just about sightseeing; it was about feeling cared for, safe, and connected in a new country. It was about discovering the joy of travel without the stress of planning.
As they boarded their flight home, Prudhvi and Kruthika carried more than just photographs; they carried a heart full of gratitude and a promise to travel again with Thrillophilia.
