Excellent guide in Krish, fluent English and highly knowledgeable and professional. The driver was also outstanding, very professional and experienced. It’s a long day trip in the car but worth it to experience 3-4 hours in Bishnupur exploring all the amazing temples. Breakfast on the way was great. The only thing I’d maybe recommend to change is the lunch venue “tourist lodge” to something less touristy and more “local” , or at least give that option as the tourist lodge food wasn’t the tastiest. Otherwise 10/10!
