Fantastic experience traveling with Avani travel services. The owner Sudarshan understand the traveller needs well and personally ensures the experience is kept high at all times, extremely humble and professional. I did a two week NE India wildlife tour with them and Sudarshan was so committed that he made good for a driver who couldn't turn up by offering to travel with me for second half of the tour. He ensured I get good birding guides in all parks to show me around and help identify the birds well. Stay at a private Tea garden was excellent with the owner Sunil taking a great care of the visitors. I Recommended Avani travel Services for NE tours of Solo/family/group travellers, they specialise in both nature tours and cultural tours.

Visited recently. The temple is always crowded with hugh queue for darshan. You can get darshan fast by paying extra money but it also takes one hour. All devotees are given free prasadam / bhog everyday.
