Safe Journey Travel

Our office is situated right opposite the Western Group of Temples. It’s a very famous area, so we get to see the beautiful stone carvings every time we look out the front door. Our space at Safe Journey Travel is quite small and simple. We have a couple of wooden desks, some chairs for people to sit on, and a lot of schedules printed out and pinned to the wall. Most of the day is spent on the phone or the computer, trying to book tickets for buses, trains, and flights. It can be quite stressful when the servers are slow or when a train is fully booked. We have a ceiling fan that hums loudly, but it's necessary because the heat here can be very intense, especially in May and June. We keep a cooler of water in the corner for anyone who comes in feeling parched. Many travelers stop by just to ask for advice on the best way to get to the next town. We try to help them out even if they don't buy anything from us. The street outside is always full of guides and tourists from all over. Sometimes a cow will wander past the door and we have to shoo it away. It’s a modest place to work, but being so close to the temples makes it interesting. We’ve been operating from this same spot for years now.
