Bharat Darshan Tour Package Itenary
Author's Message: Friends, I have experienced a memorable excursion in this Bharat Darshan Train. It was really worth for words. We had been with our parents who are in 60s and with my 2 kids below 5 yrs. When we take our elders out for a long journey, our responsibility is higher as we have to take care of them treating like kids on all issues from maintaining the diet to being health consciousness. The journey supported all the needs for olders and youngers.
Ya, we started our journey from Chennai to Pandaripur for almost 10 days tour package. The train is only dedicated for the package with 11 compartments. There were well trained security for each compartment. He had the responsibility of taking care of passengers baggages when they leave for temple visits. And at every station the train stopped, the Bathrooms were cleaned with expensive cleaning solvents and was hygenically maintained throughout the journey.
The best of the package is its catering service which served the diets of elders & kids considering the diabetic patients also. It was tasty, healthy and always was on time.
I suggest Indians living abroad to opt such journey for spiritual on their vacation. The booking also can be done online and check out the available package here.
