Sakshi's 3 days trip to Bhopal

The trip was wonderful, however there were some loopholes as well. The package was a little costly as per the services provided. Indore hotel was very nice and decent, but Ujjain hotel was not as I expected. Cab drivers were polite in nature but cooperation and coordination was missing. Overall it was a good trip.
