Exploring the vibrant streets and savoring delicious local dishes was a delightful way to spend the day. We loved the chance to interact with the majestic elephants at the sanctuary; it truly felt like a heartwarming escape from the city hustle. The transportation was smooth, making it easy to hop between cultural sites and culinary stops. However, we found some of the activities were a bit rushed, leaving us wanting more time at each location. Overall, it was an enriching experience that beautifully blended culinary delights with meaningful wildlife interactions.
