India Adventure Trips

This trip exceeded all my expectations. The stillness and solitude of the terrain. The beauty. The glacial ascent. My first time at altitude-and I loved it. Valerie, is a very wise, steady and trusted lead-a humble holder of stories and knowledge. And great food and guides too. And a wonderful group spirit. I could not have asked for more.

My first high-altitude hike - the Nubra Valley trek - and all I can say is WOW! With Valerie Parkinson as our tour leader, we were set up for an unforgettable adventure from day one. The incredible cook, knowledgeable guides, and fantastic camp crew made every moment a joy. If you’re thinking of exploring the Nubra Valley, you simply can’t go wrong with this trip. The only challenge now? Deciding on my next adventure!

This tour was the perfect mix of sightseeing, cultural moments, and comfort. I didn’t know what to expect from India. I came away with a real appreciation for its energy. Every day brought something new. The Taj Mahal was, of course, spectacular. But beyond that, I found myself constantly surprised by other things like Qutub Minar in Delhi, the artistry of Jaipur’s facades, and even how much I enjoyed trying different local dishes. The street samosas were a hit! Dubai was a complete switch in vibe and full of wow moments. This contrast in both destinations made it even more fun. We saw the big sights like the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, the desert dunes. The logistics were seamless and the guides were professional and friendly. If you’re curious about India but a little nervous about going solo, this trip is a great intro. And throwing Dubai into the mix adds a whole different dimension. I came home with great memories. Hoping to travel with you again.

My recent trip to India was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Kathy, left no the detail undone. From walking in the gardens in the early morning to drinking a Chai with the locals, The sites we saw were exceptional and will live in my memory forever

All trips need a number of key ingredients to come together to make it work. The first is an interesting and varied itinerary, the second an effective and efficient leader. Finally, your fellow travellers. We were fortunate enough to have all three on our late February 2025 visit and we had the most amazing & relaxing time really getting to see the real Kerala. There were also lots of local support staff (i.e. cooks, drivers, guides etc) and these also played their part behind the scenes to make it work. Thank you !

Our first cycling adventure with Exodus (after a great various activity tour to Vietnam last year) and this tour was just perfect for my husband and I as we love being active. However we still enjoyed the free days to explore and the sightseeing too. We had a great group and excellent guides. It was also our first trip to India and we felt as though we saw the real India, especially in the first week. The people were so friendly and they never stopped smiling and waving at us. The bikes were very good quality and suited to the mixed terrain. The hotels were generally of a good standard although a couple not so much but appreciate that it’s not always easy to find suitable accommodation in certain areas.
