Feedback
It was a great trip, we enjoyed all the events of Pushkar very much. Amongst the events, the camel race was best, in fact it was many times more thrilling than the modern day car races. Next time we will again plan a trip to Puskar Fair with Trinetra.


Earlier I heard a lot about Pushkar Fair, but never got a chance to visit the fair. This time I visited the fair, it's really wonderful. Pushkar fair is not only a fair, in truth, it's a blend of so many culture and traditions. I also visited the Taj Mahal, the 350 yrs old is very beautiful and it mesmerized me with its imposing exterior look.


One of my relative suggested me to visit India with Trinetra tours. Oh! Trinetra is really good, we never faced any difficulty during the trip. The itinerary was well-compiled and accommodation and transportation was too good. Whether you are first timer or an experienced traveller, I would suggest trinetra tours to all.
