Visitor reviews
“Went straight here after landing, jet lag and all. It has an excellent online presence and a weak physical one.”
“Stopped on the drive through Begusarai because we had the time. The overrun now has an overrun of its own.”
“Visited on the anniversary of its first missed deadline, unintentionally. Come for Bihar tourism, leave thinking about municipal governance.”
