I always had a dream to visit Gujarat, so I booked a trip at Deccan Odyssey hidden treasures of Gujarat. This train showed me Gujarat in a very different manner with all the comforts one can have. The highlight of the trip was a visit to the National Park in Sassan Gir which is well known place for its Asiatic Lions as I gave great passion for Wildlife.
