We had hired a Tata Hexa in the second week of January and were lucky to be the first passengers to hire the vehicle. A Brand new vehicle. Not much to say. We did a trip to Babadham and the West Bengal Shaktipeeth and then to Puri. Driver Dhruv was extremely cordial and polite. A five star experience.
