Pickyyourtrail has provided excellent service. From the booking stage handled by Shailey; prior travel assisted by Srivathsan and throughout the trip assisted by Chandramouli. Very Good. Highly recommended. Only area of improvement is the local tours SIC handled could have been better. It was very rushed and a little stressful. Please make sure such bundled tours are planned better.
