I traveled with Magadh Travels on a private Buddhist pilgrimage. The tour was well organized, and if we required any changes, the team were all very helpful and quick to assist. We were given the best hotels in the areas where we stayed. I recommend this company and the entire team for their professionalism and dedication to making sure the client is well taken care of.
