The celebrations here are incomparable to anywhere in the world, bonding with family through many invitations on the day to partake of the sumptious food and delicacies. I’ve finally had the opportunity to dress up in my Indian wear and help light those tiny sparkling lights!

      Everyone seems glad to participate .
      One more thing that I want to request is that pls try to open more resorts in India too as there are very less resorts near hilly areas.
