Tanya
Went to Jibhi with Infinite Travelers led by Trip Captain Ashish. The entire group was a delight to share such beautiful memories with and Ashish led the group with much enthusiasm and entertainment. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying. The only lacking part on the trip was the accommodation. The place wasn’t neat and could have been better. Brownie points just for the trip captain and rafting.
