MakeMyTrip Partners with Ministry of Tourism to Promote Guided Tours Across “Incredible India”

  MakeMyTrip has partnered with the Ministry of Tourism to inspire Indian travellers to explore “Incredible India” through more than 350 guided tours across 60+ cities, now bookable on its platform starting Independence Day, August 15, with the catalogue set to expand further.
