“Great day combining temples visit and elephant protection! - I had a very nice day and a very rich experience. I was lucky enough to book this tour during Diwali and being able to visit 4 temples that special day was unique. Thank you to Nandu for the Mathura visit! The wildlife SOS elephant conservatoire was also a very unique moment and a respectful way to approach these beautiful animals. Their work is so important for the elephant, this place is worth a visit and their work to be recognised. Thank you to Vicky, excellent driver who drove me all along the day! Amazing day and discoveries!” (Reviewed at: 2024-11-01)
