Golden Triangle and Ranthambore
Fabulous trip to India despite lots of rain in the first week. Tour Manager Vishu managed to get us into the Sanctuary area in Gir when the scheduled safaris were cancelled due to the weather. Things got better when we got to Madhya Pradesh and had 7 safaris at 3 different parks. Everyone got to see a tiger though some jeeps had better sightings than others. I'd always wanted to visit Varanasi but could not fit it in with previous trips to India. Absolutely loved the sights and learning how sacred the River Ganges is to Hindu people. What an amazing experience
Indian Wildlife Adventure with Varanasi extension
Extremely good value. Perhaps the pace is too fast but very well organised . Fabulous local tour manager . If you want a overview of India this is the tour for you
Grand tour of India
Brilliant trip well organised, perfect
Golden Triangle and Ranthambore
Excellent tour from start to finish. Really well organised, well balanced itinerary, great hotels and brilliantly knowledgeable local guide! We will definitely look to book future holidays with Distant Journeys!
Golden Triangle and Ranthambore
Excellent holiday seeing all the sights. Fantastic guide in Bhanu with good driver and assistant. Full on days with a lot more coach travel than expected so not much down time. Good hotels with super service. All meals that were included were self service buffet style with western food available at breakfast only. Bhanu was a great asset to the company and able to advice us about everything necessary. Even taken out to lunch venues and shops so we could be sure to feel safe. Only downside was cramped and uncomfortable cantors ( seated trucks) used for safaris. Would be advisable to rent 2 per group so people have space to sit down.
Golden Triangle and Ranthambore
A journey I’ve wanted to take for more than 20 years. Put off by talk of Delhi belly , hawkers and beggars. Quality hotels. Air conditioned transport. A guide and driver both very experienced. Whose priority are safety and customer satisfaction. A busy schedule that touched and delivered on the iconic history of this tiny aspect of India. An amuse bouche for what India has to offer. Wetting the appetite to explore further. The question I ask after is: Would i repeat the tour…..no because i would want to venture further and longer. Would i recommend….yes!
