Planned a 6-day ola outstation trip, with booking hotels ourselves, instead of buying a package tour, this time. This turned out to be a lot more economical, compared to buying a package tour, and also, we booked a Prime SUV, instead of a Sedan that package tours generally provide, so that it is more convenient for the long tour. Even with booking a Prime SUV, it turned out to be cheaper than the quotations for a package tour covering the same places.
