“ Best place to visit. In monsoon.”
- DEEPAK SHAHI

Very energetic.
★★★★★
“ Very energetic.The natural world never stops inspiring us to explore and do more. The team's arrangements were comfortable, barring strong cooperation. Even though the guides struggled with synchronisation, everything went according to plan. I hope you get useful advice. August might be the ideal month to travel, but beware of the weather.”
- Ashish Rajput
