“ It was my second trip (Bhutan and Coorg) with WanderOn and the memory is still vivid in my mind. It started with a solo Trip- all strangers. And when it ended, I got some amazing new friends. Their travel plan was not just about sightseeing, rather it also included different fun activities. The captains were brilliant always on their toes to help and did follow up every day till the tour ends. Overall, it’s was a good experience. I would give these guys 10 stars if I could. Book them now and you won't have to worry about your trip. Looking forward to see you guys again😊😊🤗
