ok of the options itself, I could see that Chamodi from D Lanka Tours got it right and understood my requirement perfectly. She was very professional throughout and provided me multiple variations (with different star hotels etc.) of the package. That helped me make the right choice. 2nd - post confirming and booking the option, Chamodi was in regular touch to make sure all hotel bookings were confirmed and I am completing other formalities to ensure that we are ready for the travel. She also suggested the best way to handle the forex requirements which saved me some money. The confirmation of the tour guide details, the vehicle details (and pictures) were all sent well ahead. So even before arriving we got a confidence that it's going to be a memorable trip. After that we arrive in SriLanka. 3rd - We met Chamodi and her team on the morning of the day we started our tour. I could see all the professionalism which I experienced virtually till then in person. At this point of time Kawee the tour guide and Uncle the driver took over. Throughout the tour, I could see Kawee being proactive in getting things organized for our next place of visit. He was focused on understanding what kind of group we are and immediately started giving us tips for our site seeing accordingly. Uncle was very professional in his driving and amazed to see he following each and every rule of driving on the roads. Both Kawee and uncle were so great that the kids mentioned they just felt so friendly with them and of course that's the same feeling we adults carried as well. The result of all of this was we had a very very memorable trip to SriLanka. Thanks to Chamodi, Kawee and Uncle for giving us such a great experience and I strongly recommend them.

h the key attractions, accommodations, and cab service: ### 1. **Hotels:** The hotels I stayed at during my tour were well-selected and comfortable. In **Puri**, The room was clean, well-maintained, and the staff was polite and attentive., I stayed in a centrally located hotel that was perfect for exploring the temples and other local attractions. One of my favourite hotel stay at Taptapani hill Resort. The amenities were top-notch, and the rooms were spacious, ensuring a restful stay after a day of sightseeing. ### 2. **Cab Service:** The cab service throughout my trip was excellent. “Basudeb” was punctual, professional, and well-versed with the routes to all the tourist spots. The Toyota Rumion was comfortable and air-conditioned, making long rides enjoyable. “Basudeb” also provided valuable insights into the culture and history of the places we visited, which added a personal touch to the journey. ### 3. **Key Places Visited:** - **Jagannath Puri Temple:** The highlight of my trip, the **Jagannath Temple** in Puri is an architectural marvel. The atmosphere is electric, filled with devotion and grandeur. The rituals and cultural significance of the temple left me in awe. - **Konark Sun Temple:** The **Konark Sun Temple** is another must-visit. The intricate carvings, coupled with its historical significance, make it one of the most impressive temples I’ve visited in India. The sheer scale and beauty of the temple left me speechless. - **Chilika Lake:** A boat ride on **Chilika Lake** was an absolute highlight. The serene waters, surrounded by lush greenery, made for a peaceful and scenic experience. We also spotted some river dolphins, which added a touch of nature's beauty to the trip. - **Lingaraj Temple:** The **Lingaraj Temple** in Bhubaneswar is a classic example of Kalinga architecture. The temple's massive size and ornate carvings were breathtaking. It’s one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, and the spiritual atmosphere is palpable. - **Mukteshwar Temple:** This small yet beautiful temple is a hidden gem in Bhubaneswar. The carvings and the serene environment around the temple make it a peaceful spot to visit. - **64 Yogini Temple:** In Bhubaneswar, I visited another famous 64 Yogini Temple in the Hirapur area. this one is relatively well-preserved and gives a better sense of the temple's original layout and purpose. It has 64 small stone cells, each of which was once home to a deity representing one of the Yoginis. The temple is small and simple in comparison to the grand temples of Odisha, but there’s a deep spiritual energy here. I spent time observing the intricately carved stone sculptures, which depict various deities and symbolic motifs. The temple was quiet, which allowed for a reflective visit. - **Taptapani:** The hot water springs in **Taptapani** offered a unique experience. I soaked in the warm waters, which were incredibly relaxing, especially after a long day of sightseeing. - **Tibetan Village:** The **Tibetan Village** was a lovely stop. The peaceful vibe, combined with Tibetan culture, monasteries, and handicrafts, was a delightful experience. I learned a lot about Tibetan traditions and had the chance to purchase beautiful souvenirs. ### 4. **Overall Experience:** The entire trip was well-organized, with seamless transitions from one place to the next.

e had been to these places after long time..... Experience of stay n food in gujrat was awesome.we enjoyed all places ...n made our 8 days stay most memorable ..spl highlight was Road to heaven... mesmerizing view on earth...recommad all to visit once in lifetime to Kutch

tea estates and visiting the beaches at twilight

as amazing and our driver kanha was helpful and good Jaisalmer sand dunes

o the standard in the tent camp and the rester select hotel in jodhpur has worst food ,even milk is not good and is very diluted. Requested for change in the hotel but never happened. There is no proper maintenance in the hotel. Driver was very helpful and assisted well in our planning. Udaipur site visit and hotel stay

sock due to poor heating facility. Our driver lateef was very helpful throughout the trip.

planning and Shanavas serving as our driver. Renjith was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the trip planning process. He arranged fantastic hotel stays in Thekkady and Munnar, as well as a comfortable houseboat experience in Aleppey, which provided delicious food and a smooth cruise. Shanavas, on the other hand, was focused and tireless, driving us around without any sign of fatigue. However, there were a few areas where the experience could have been improved: Thekkady – Periyar Boating: Our primary goal upon arriving in Thekkady was to experience the Periyar Boating, but we were surprised to find that tickets had sold out due to high demand. It would have been helpful if the tour agent had informed us earlier, allowing us to book tickets online in advance. Jeep Safari in Thekkady: We were advised that the Jeep Safari would be a great alternative to the Periyar Boating, but it did not live up to expectations. We later learned that the Jeep Safari in Munnar is much more enjoyable and exciting. Waterfalls: The itinerary mentioned visiting beautiful waterfalls along the way, but due to the season, we didn't see any. We were also unaware that the Athirappilly Waterfalls would have provided a much better experience. Had we known, we could have adjusted our itinerary to include this stop. Overall, I hope the agency will consider factors such as crowd sizes and weather conditions when curating itineraries, to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience for guests. Despite these few issues, the trip was still fantastic, and we are immensely grateful to Renjith and Shanavas for their support and excellent service throughout. 7C Destination - Recommended tour agency.
