Incredible and amazing trip to Karnataka
Even before coming to India, I studied information about excursions, I really wanted to use my limited budget as efficiently as possible. After reading the reviews and stories of experienced, I made 2 conclusions:
1. In Goa, you can see everything on your own, or with the help of taxi drivers. And that the real, wonderful world of India is revealed and plays with brighter colors beyond the borders of the state.
2. In no case should you buy an excursion from tour operators, because it is expensive and careless (although excursions are imposed, Pegasus, for example, is very persistent, don’t be fooled !!! )
Based on these findings, I began to look for alternative options. to go by yourself is uncomfortable and far away (and considering that we traveled with a 2-year-old baby, then comfort on a trip and travel took an important place in the list of priorities), I also wanted to see and learn a lot for little money, this can be done without a guide not easy.
We turned to several tour companies, and the choice fell on one "Asia and Me" aziaiya. com. They offered us an incredible 2 day trip for only $170 (all inclusive)!! ! We have not seen this with anyone. We were absolutely delighted!! ! And we recommend it to everyone! This advertising campaign in support of the excursion business ends for us and, in fact, the review itself))))
We were picked up from the hotel in a large, comfortable air-conditioned car. The guide, seeing our sleepy state, let us sleep, wake up and come to our senses and began his story... We learned so much new, so many interesting things . . about Goa, and Karnataka and India itself. The guide herself told everything with such interest, it was clear that the person loves not only his work, but also India, and most importantly, his tourists.
The first point of our journey was Gokarna, a controversial place, but its energy is very strong.
Then we went to Murdeshwar. This place was a total delight! I couldn't take my eyes off the huge statue of Shiva. My 2-year-old son, looking at this, said: "What a beauty. " The 20-storey tower, Om beach, the most interesting stories of the guide aroused admiration for both Karnataka and India.
Then we were checked into a hotel. I did not expect that for such money there will be such a luxurious hotel! Ocean view from all rooms, all meals included! (We practically didn’t spend money on this trip, we had everything we needed), a swimming pool, very comfortable rooms (with a bathroom! What a luxury for Goa), delicious food and friendly staff.
Then we went to the island of Maria in the ocean on a boat, it was a bit extreme)
The next day there was a ride on the lagoons on a ship-cottage, with bedrooms (for it was generally happiness - it was possible to put the child to sleep on a normal bed), fishing and lunch. Then we went to the city of Mangalore to the zoo-reserve. we saw tigers, lions and other animals that do not live in cages, but in a large space.
During this trip, we saw several cities: Gokarna, Murdeshwar, Udupi and Mangalore. This trip combined comfort and a rich excursion program, adventure and relaxation! I recommend to everyone!
