Gajendra's 4 days trip to Odisha

Hotel at Puri (Pride Ananya) was great in every aspect. The Adventure Hotel at Bhubaneswar was good at stay but very poor in services. Even after advance intimation from our travel agent as well as from us, they didn't provide packed breakfast as we had to leave early to take a flight. Regarding transportation, driver was great with average vehicle health. All the described places were covered and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Vikram's 7 days trip to Odisha

I opted the services of Inde D Voyage for a trip to Odisha for my parents. I have no words to explain how awesome it was! Shibashis Ji made sure that everything was perfect, starting from the planning of the trip, the hotels, the transportation, driver and everything. he tailored the trip as per the requirement in the best possible way. My parents thoroughly enjoyed the trip and really appreciated the way it was so well planned and executed. The driver, Vasudev was also very nice and helpful. All in all, undoubtedly 5 stars services. A big kudos to Shibashis Ji and his team for doing such a tremendous job!! I would highly recommend the services of Inde D Voyage.
