点评:On our road trip back from Delhi to Hyderabad, we decided a pitstop at Bandhavgarh, as Google Maps was recommending us to take Noida > Agra > Etawah > Chitakoot > Maihar > Katni > Nagpur. We called Deepti to help us book a place for the night and an evening safari. With just 2 calls and some WhatsApp exchange (primarily for Photo ID's) she booked us at a phenomenonal property called Tiger's Den the landscape of which took me back to my childhood days spent in the tea plantations of Assam, and also got us an evening safari, where we spotted 2 Tiger cubs, beside out animals.
There are tour operators, then there are wildlife operators,and then there are Naturalist.....Deepti is of the THIRD kind. She remembers all your prior bookings, and any suggestions made - keeping that in mind, checks your current needs and time available, basis which makes a recomendstion that one cannot deny or reject. Call it luck or nature of people in Bandhavgarh - the entire crew in resort and in the safari we interacted with are true example of "ATITHI DEVO BHAVA"
Best part - Deepti is always reachable, always helpful and always sporting a SMILE.
翻译:从德里返回海得拉巴的途中,我们决定在班达迦国家公园稍作停留,因为谷歌地图推荐的路线是诺伊达 > 阿格拉 > 埃塔瓦 > 奇塔库特 > 迈哈尔 > 卡特尼 > 那格浦尔。我们联系了迪普蒂,请她帮忙预订住宿和傍晚的野生动物之旅。她只用了两次电话和几次WhatsApp沟通(主要是为了确认照片身份),就帮我们预订了一家名为“老虎窝”的绝佳酒店。酒店的景色让我仿佛回到了童年在阿萨姆邦茶园度过的时光。她还帮我们安排了傍晚的野生动物之旅,除了其他动物之外,我们还看到了两只小老虎。
旅行社有三种:旅游运营商、野生动物运营商,还有自然学家……迪普蒂属于第三种。她会记住你之前的所有预订和建议,并在此基础上,结合你当前的需求和时间安排,为你推荐最合适的行程,让你无法拒绝。或许是运气使然,或许是班达迦人天性使然——我们在度假村和旅行团遇到的所有工作人员都完美诠释了“宾至如归”的真谛。
最棒的是,迪普蒂总是随叫随到,乐于助人,而且总是面带微笑。
