Every now and then, one needs to refresh their mind, body, and soul, and which is why most of us end up finding solace by traveling. Rajesh from Korba in Chattisgarh, also felt the same and decided to go on a family trip to South India.

We were a group of 4 families which included 8 adults and 7 children. It may sound very fun-filled and a joyous trip but it was also quite challenging to manage a group of 15 members, especially when the kids are between 4 to 8 years old. All of us just felt like heading out somewhere which is when we decided to collaborate with our friends too.

We asked them about this trip and decided mutually on our destination. We wanted to explore a destination where we haven’t been before, and that is when South India struck us. We instantly decided to book a trip via TravelTriangle as I have been traveling with them for the past 3 years. We raised a query, and that was it. All we were left with was the uncontrollable excitement to get going on this South India travel with family!
