Hi Sir,

Thank you for your detailed guidance. Actually am planning to visit Kerala for a week. This is strictly an official purpose. So I need to grab Innova with a driver who can be trustable. Therefore, can you please prefer better rental services on Kochi-based ?
Hope you will reply soon.

Sangai is the rare state animal of Manipur. The article could have covered that. This animal stops while running and turns back to look as if it's awaiting someone. Good coverage, is there any trekking places near to imphal?

I am a tourist from Mumbai. I wanted your help to know weather condition of Imphal. I am planning to go there in next week. The only thing, I wanted to know how safe is it to travel to Imphal in this season for a tourist. Is there any problem due to monsoon or political risk?
Your help is much appreciated.

I am from Bishnupur. The Bishnupur given here in this article does not exist in my place. This must be Bishnupur of West Bengal. Please correct your mistake.
