“Great way to break from Mumbai’s caos. We were visiting India for a wedding and on the day of the Sangeet we decided to book this tour. The guide was waiting for us at the gate of the national park and we chatted non-stop to the end of the tour. Having a tour guide really made the experience worthwhile, since you would miss lots of details without it. Thanks Hamir, wish you the best!”
