“The place is very natural & must vizited place, but don't take this company tour package, go directly to the place, you will find better options & cheap price, this our tour operator is not good, after giving all guidelines they started 30min late, bcoz 1 family came late & then he finished in rush with 1.30 min, when the tour was of 2 hrs, and we didn't enjoyed, even we have to carry our boat from starting point till river, which also hard, specially for ladies & children, again after taking high amounts they are asking us to pay tickets on entry around 2+4= 6 dollars.
