    Perfect day, with a very smart guide. We saw every animal we wanted to see. The guide really did his best to show us stuff. Also the owner of the hotel helped us with all the questions. Good stuff

    Great experience 10/10

    Prasad arranged a taxi to a nearby village for a good price and then picked me up to the track. The guide was excellent and was able to spot a lot of cool animals like snakes, lizards, spiders etc. Great experience overall 10/10. Would come again and do a different track next year :)
