In my recent visit to Simhachalam and other places,felt a real importance of a guide when we were in the city ride vehicle to see interesting places.We were on that fateful day in the A.P.state tourism bus,heading for the destinations as our guide provided in the bus,busy briefing about the places as they were closing by.The guide was not trained well in disclosing important historic details or other required information.He was not so well spoken even in Telugu and seemed never bothered about it.In our bus there were some families came from other states and they were not told details about the places even they have requested.It's not good in any aspect,visitors must be given priority ,because they have come here all the way to see something worthy.
Scenic beauty as approaching Simhachalam
One happiest thing is booking counters of state tourism are satisfactory in dealing with visitors at Vizag.Either at bus stop counter or Railway station counter,giving the people required info.Thanks for that,but guides in the bus allotted must be fluent at least in Hindi along with local language.In our bus, we experienced a guide's negligent info providing facts about things and places.He was no way interested in that job first,that's the real problem in our country.Even I felt it in some Northern states also.Many tourism offices of state governments behave like 9 to 5 jobs.
Anyway,happened to capture some beautiful pictures in the tour.I will keep posting them as often as possible.Here are two of them when our journey in action.Hope you enjoy it.
