Andharban (The Dark Forest) trek was one of the best treks I’ve ever been on, It was raining all the time, there were lot’s waterfalls and bridges on the way.
This is the first time I’ve experienced Apartments being rented as hotels, they were nice would consider them again specially for longer term stays.
You can find a good Vada Pav literally anywhere, I’ve had dozens of them throughout the trip.
Imagica had the most thrilling rides I’ve ever been on, It’s specially fun with friends.

Imagica ticket price and vip pass: make sure to buy tickets atleast a day before visit, price are doubled for same day ticket, also get a vip pass to save a lot of time.
