Day 2

On the 2nd day, we are covering 4 destinations which cover a distance of 14 km at a minimum. Renting a Bike for the 2nd day would be a better idea to save you time and money.

Day 3

On the third day, you need to travel at least 10 km to cover all three locations. Although Machia Biological Park and Kayalana Lake are nearby, Toorji ka Jhalra is a little distant.
