Our trip to north India was awesome, we enjoyed the trip very much. In a
short duration of one week we visited several popular destinations of India
and got to see lots of things. On the whole we will remember this trip for a
long duration.

North India tour was an excellent combination of sightseeing and
rejuvenation. Yoga and meditation classes amidst the lofty peaks of
Himalayas refreshed our mind. Still we have that tranquil feelings in our
mind. We will surely visit India on this tour package again.

Although the treks across Shivpuri were little difficult, but we never felt
tired. We got an excellent chance to attend classes for Aasanas, relaxation
and meditation. Besides, trip to Agra was also memorable. A white marble
monument Taj Mahal left us speechless. Thanks Trinetra for arranging a nice
trip.
