It was a great trip, very professionally managed. All places of stay were carefu (Read More)lly chosen for a very comfortable stay. The vehicle provided was very comfortable, our driver Mahesh was English speaking and was very co-operative. Drove very safely. Sumedha and Mahesh together made sure we covered all places of interest. The focus was mainly on places connected to Ramayana. However, we also did safaris and boat rides aside which were great.We being vegetarians, Mahesh chose appropriate restaurants for lunch. Dinner and breakfast provided at the place of stay were very good. On the whole it was a great memorable trip which we hope we will repeat some other time.
Thank you Sumedha and Mahesh..
