My experience
This is Rachana's own 1-day itinerary for Montenegro & Croatia, Montenegro — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like Pjerin and Taj Mahal, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
