"We booked the Manor Luxury apartments for our first road trip in India. After hours of driving on scenic, broad, then narrow and winding roads, we arrived at the apartment in time for the most beautiful sunset over the mountains😍😍 Check in: 💯super easy and the staff ensured we were set up in the apartment before coming over to collect our check in documents. I really liked this coz I had a chance to settle the kids, take in the sunset, then do paperwork. Apartment: 💯clean, well...
