The best one week of my life! Got to see so many new and beautiful places. Sadda Pind was entertaining, jallianwala Bagh was thought-provoking, Golden Temple was divine, and Shimla was absolutely breathtaking. Every place is now very dear to my heart. Thank you for such a fun tour Indiator.

Golden Temple was soothing and divine but Shimla really took my heart away with its beauty. What a stunning place! The people who get to live there and see that beauty every single day are indeed very privileged. - A happy and slightly jealous client. :p
