It was an excellent trip comprising of everything a person can ask for.

The trip was very lovely and it was a great experience. Totally worth it. Thanks a lot to Journey Begins Travel and Tourism for organizing this. The organizers were really helpful and prompt with our concerns and queries. We missed out on few essential bookings due to lack of our knowledge and when we shared this, they went out of their way to arrange for the bookings and within few hours, we had our confirmation with us. This incident displayed their commitment towards travelers. Journey Begins really made our trip memorable. An advice to fellow travelers: Ask them for hidden gems and local transport for short distances. You would save a lot of money with their help.
