    Yeah trip is going good. however, the things which were mentioned in the quotation ,for example madu petty dam and lake and few other places like tea museum when I came here I got to know that we have to pay extra for Safari to view that, but in the quotation it was mentioned at it is covered so tha
    t is a extra cost for us.

    Anushka's 5 days trip to Mahabalipuram

    We had a wonderful experience with Hover Journey Travel Agency and Travel Triangle especially with our travel agent Amish for our trip to Madurai and Rameshwaram. All the arrangements were very well planned, the hotels were comfortable and the car provided was clean and well maintained. The first d
    river was driving safely, but due to a communication barrier as he did not understand English we requested Amish to change the driver if possible. He was very understanding and promptly arranged a replacement. The second driver was excellent, polite, helpful, and very professional. He informed us in advance about PM Modi’s visit and suggested that we leave Rameshwaram early to avoid any inconvenience. Thanks to his timely guidance, we were able to plan accordingly and reached Madurai Airport on time without any stress. He also arranged a panda at Rameshwaram Temple for us, which made our darshan smooth and very special. We had a truly great darshan experience. Overall, everything was managed efficiently and smoothly. We truly appreciate Amish’s quick response and support throughout the trip. We are very happy with the service and look forward to booking more trips with Hover Journey and Travel Triangle in the future.
