Feedback
I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first organised tour. It was a well organised trip and Trinetra offered plenty of time to enjoy leisure activities. Our tour guide Manish was excellent in every way well knowledgeable, straightforward and above all he was very good. Well done Trinetra and Manish.


Sojourn Southern India Travel was full of adventure and visual feasts. As I am an architecture lover, so I enjoyed the trip to Mahabalipuram and Kanchipuram. Built centuries back these temples still hold their old charm and architecture is marvellous. Other destinations were equally charming.


Wonderful tour, so many picturesque destinations and warm-friendly people we enjoyed this trip very much. Amongst the various attractions, the backwater cruise at Kumarakom fascinated a lot. While we were floating through the backwaters, we felt that we have been transferred to another world.
