Veronica S | Traveled in June
It was absolutely beautiful and the experience specifically in Sri Lanka was amazing. There was a ton of adaptability that allowed everyone's voice to feel heard while still staying to the roots of the country's significance.
David A | Traveled in May
Trip of a life time! Wow, wow, wow! It really opened my eyes to India and all the amazing things it has to offer. A million memories I'll never forget. Something I'll never forget is doing the Bollywood dance class on a rooftop bar at sunset in Jaipur.
Malcolm T | Traveled in May
The tour group, activities and guide were superb. Travelling alone, it was great to meet people from all over the world with widely differing backgrounds and I found myself participating in (and thoroughly enjoying) activities which I’d normally have avoided,.
Chelsea H | Traveled in May
Overall I had a great time on this trip! I got to experience a lot in both India and Sri Lanka and appreciated my time spent in this area of the world!
Angele T | Traveled in April
Wonderful introduction to India and Bhutan that made me want to come back. The whole experience was smooth and well organized. Activities are well balanced and were well planned to avoid crowds. Safety and hygiene were never an issue. Our highlights include biking around Jaipur, exploring Taj Mahal at sunrise, hiking the Tiger Nest, and celebrating four birthdays with our fellow travelers. The CEOs were friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend this trip to all my friends!

Solo-ish India was a great trip for anyone who wants to connect with like-minded travelers to explore and discover this incredible country. A lot of my preconceived ideas about India were completely changed after this experience. Avneet was the best CEO to guide us on this journey.
