Feedback
First we visited Agra to see the world famous Taj Mahal, next we visited
Rajasthan's capital, Jaipur. On this trip we also get a good chance to
explore the Ranthambore and Sariska wildlife sacntuaries.

March 2005
Seeing the Taj Mahal was a wonderful experience for me. Trinetra also
provided me a good chance to spot wild animals in their natural habitat.
--- Andrew MacMillan (Phillipines),
visited in October 2006
It was our first trip with Trinetra tour to India, but it made our trip an
unforgettable experience. Taj Mahal was the highlight of this trip, other
noted attractions were Hawa Mahal, City Palace. Jungle Safari in Ranthambore
National Park and Sariska made our trip more exciting.
