Abdul Malik | Traveled in June
Walking in the city of Kathmandu is very beautiful. We stopped at Boudha Nath which was really nice. The Buddhist temple surrounded by shops and coffee shops is too beautiful not to visit. Thank you team. The city tour package is beautiful.
Anet Tt | Traveled in June
Walking around the bustling Thamel, the noise immediately disappeared when entering the garden as if it were a dreams area Dinner here feels very peaceful, even though it was raining it added to the romantic impression .
Richard K. | Traveled in May
Trafalgar does an awesome job of visiting key sites, providing locals experiences and exposing you to the toughside of India. When you complete your journey you feel like you've been exposed to the "real" India. I don't know of any other tour company that does this & I'm not sure every traveler is up to this approach but I treasured the experience.
Simon P. | Traveled in April
An awesome tour. Our guide, added an amazing level to the experience by telling stories about what we were about to see. His knowledge was astounding. Him and the team also managed all the logistics so well. Trip of a lifetime!
Anonymous | Traveled in April
Went in April. It was hot but few other tourists that made getting in and seeing attractions easier. Tour guide great. The Indian people very gracious and helpful. The Taj Mahal ethereal and spectacular. We were told only 30% of people see tigers and we saw 6! We had good Karma. The Ganges is to be experienced. Practical stuff; bottled water was provided, and I didn’t have to use 1 squat toilet. Bring TP and wipes. Do not leave airport lobby until ready to leave. They will not let you back in!
