Lotus Tours & Travels

Setting up shop on M.G. Marg means you are right in the middle of everything that happens in town. We are located right near the tourism office, which makes it easy for travelers to find us when they are wandering around looking for a way to see the sights. The office is small and the door stays open most of the day, letting in the cool breeze and the sound of the crowds outside. We have a couple of benches for people to sit on while they wait for their drivers or for us to print out their tickets. The walls are covered with photos of the mountains and local spots, but some of them are a bit sun-faded now. There is always a map spread out on the main counter, marked with pen circles and notes about road conditions or hidden turns. We drink a lot of tea here, usually shared with the drivers who lean against the doorframe while they wait for their next trip. It gets quite hectic during the peak season when everyone wants to go to the same places at the same time. We just try to keep the car keys organized and make sure the fuel tanks are full. It’s a lot of talking and planning, often with people who are seeing this part of the world for the first time. We just stay here at our spot on the main road and help out whoever walks through the door.
