The tour provided a great opportunity to observe Indian culture close-up, while also visiting many of the key tourist sites of northern india. On the whole, a great balance.

I absolutely loved the trip, it was made especially good because of our guide Jai. I thought the itinerary was great and the hotels and transport good except for the overnight train. I would definitely travel with G Adventures again and highly recommend it to others. My experience of India was fantastic and something I will never forget. I value that G Adventures is an ethical tourism company that gives back to the local people.
