Feedback
It's true that our tour was quite lengthy, but never got bored for a single moment. In fact, when we completed our trip, we were eager to continue it for some more days. Trinetra was fantastic and most importantly they have provided a well-informed tour guide who helped us a lot. We will remember this tour for a long time.


Wonderful trip, we got to see lots of famous attractions of India on this tour. Amongst the attractions Taj Mahal, was special one. Even today after centuries of its construction Taj Mahal looks new. Backwater cruise across the Kumarakom backwaters was also exciting and memorable. Next time we will again visit India with the same tour operator Trinetra.


Best Places of India is really a nice trip. On this one month tour we covered a number of famous places of India. Visits to the forts and monuments of Rajasthan was awesome experience, in South India too the attractions amazed us a lot..
