    I was so lucky to find Safarnaama holidays from google. I planned a honeymoon trip to Maldvies and it was really a nice experience and the concern showed by Mr. Pulkit Bhardwaj about everything like arrangements and flying from India till coming back is really appreciated. He is really very helpful and kind hearted person. I would really recommend and advice my friends to plan through Safarnaama holidays. It was such a nice service that after completing my Maldives trip, the very next day i planned for Ooty and Coorg trip from Safarnaama holidays. We had an issue with the hotel in Ooty but Mr. Pulkit Bhardwaj really helped us change the hotel as per our requirements within short span of time. Really happy with Mr. Pulkit Bhardwaj and Safarnaama holidays. Thanks, Rajilesh Panicker ...more
