Dream Come True
I have always wanted to visit India and this trip did not disappoint, its such a vibrant country full of traditions, colour and lots of smiles. The children we met who wanted photos of us along with everyone at India gate who we felt like celebrities posing for them in pictures. The overnight train to Varanasi was an adventure and not to be apprehensive about with some wonderful morning views from the train to take in.
Loved this one..
As always, Exodus didn't disappoint. The itinerary was great, we packed a lot in to the 9 day trip. Some early starts and long drives but the bus was comfortable and the air con worked well! Lots of walking on this trip, and be prepared for the pollution, if you have bad asthma I would consider a different trip as you are literally coughing with the smog! But the busyness of the traffic is part of the adventure! Sunrise in India isn't a thing unfortunately due to the haze of pollution so the Taj Mahal wasn't seen to it's full beauty until the sun is higher in the sky. The dreaded sleeper train definitely is something I never wish to repeat, but it's one night and so long as you don't go to the toilet you'll be ok haha ....I took shoe covers !!! So glad I did ! The beds are as hard as a table top !
Northern India
Hectic trip with an excellent tour leader
So much in such short time....
This trip is amazing. If you are looking to squeeze as much as possible of the must-sees in and around the golden triangle, this is a great choice. It's not a relaxing trip as it's constantly on the go with long days of sightseeing and traveling and not much time to just hang out and relax. But it's very rewarding to get to see so many amazing sights in just 9 days
Fast paced but well worth it
Yes, the trip is fast paced, but I think that's pretty well explained on the website so I was expecting it. But the itinerary covers some really incredible places and I felt like I got a good feeling for India (my first time) as a result of it. There were some long drives, but the days spent in places like Jaipur, Agra and Varanasi meant it didn't feel like we were *constantly* on the move. I absolutely loved India! The group gelled really well and we're considering going on a S. India trip with Exodus all together again in 2026!
