some activities on that trip require extra preparation time. And the sooner you book

dates of this trip is 6th -21th September, which is considered to be the best period

standards. But we do make sure you get a nice room with private facilities, as well
as TV, AC etc. Our choice is privately owned small boutique hotels, with a great
location and best local atmosphere you can experience. You will appreciate the

owned by a local government.
