South India was enjoyable particularly Fort Kochi and the backwaters. I thoroughly enjoyed Sri Lanka, which is a beautiful country in all aspects and I would highly recommend all to visit.

My G Adventures tour was incredible. I can?t recommend it enough. I was worried with it being my first solo group tour. But the trip was planned so well and I could completely relax and not have to think or plan much. I will definitely be doing more tours.
