Rishab says,
‘I visited all the above places a year ago. The way the system of traffic, shops, etc., work is so organized. The destination feels like another foreign country. Even though they are out for shopping, the people there dress well, and women there often do touch-ups when they are out from home. I surely suggest this place for travel destinations.’
