“Kudos to Chap Foundation for endeavouring to make tourism more disabled-friendly. Their initiative to organize a multi-day trip for a group of visually impaired people from Delhi to Naggar, Kullu in May last year was a revolutionary step that should encourage other stakeholders in the travel and tourism industry to make it more accessible. My best wishes for Chap team.”
