And itenary should be plan according to the holidays of that area because my one day was almost gone due to Sunday and I miss the double decker living root bridge. You should share a google link of some famous and must go places in increasing order of distance from hotel of that day to driver and tourist so that there should be no confusion to decide that which place to explore now. Rest was good and improvements will keep going.
