India Desert safaris Trips

A brilliant tour guide who was exceptional at making our trip memorable. Great education on the history of India through tours of Mughal palaces and forts. Great experience of the culture in Varanasi. Good visit to the Tiger safari, we did not see a Tiger but the rest of our group did. (We had a guide from the forestry dept that spoke very little English, not helpful but we were restricted by who was sent to guide us.) Good food and accommodation with our tour guide. He took care of almost all the tipping with was a great bonus for Explore.

Brilliant trip. Highly recommend. Very full on, cramming in so much in 2 weeks & we saw & did so much. Tour leader Indu was outstanding & went out of his way to make it special. Some long journeys but worth it; no time wasted trying to sort stuff out so all very efficient from start to finish.

We were blessed with the best guide/fixer in Indu Singh and if you want to see everything you wanted to see in Northern India then this trip is for you. Taj Mahal, Jaipur, Delhi, Ranthambore, Chambal, Varanasi and Agra were fantastic . Some early starts and lots of driving meant we could see all the marvelous things.

This was an excellent trip full of interest. The highlights were seeing the Taj Mahal at dawn, a boat trip on the Chambal River looking at crocodiles and numerous birds, and the visit to Varanasi. The overnight train to Varanasi was overcrowded with people sitting in all the corridors. It wasn’t the most comfortable night but apparently this was unusual due to the exceptional number of visitors going to Varanasi for the Kumb Mela Hindu festival. The overnight train back to Delhi was a much better experience. Our tour leader, Indu, was outstanding, taking great care of us and frequently going out of his way to give us the best experience, even staying awake all night on an overnight train to ensure that we were all ok. The hotels were all pretty good but there was an occasional leaky bathroom. We had a comfortable bus and a vary capable driver who coped well with some difficult roads.

A great trip. I did not expect to be so wowed by India. India is glorious chaotic and unexpected. The itinerary was really well planned with enough time at each stop and a good variety of nature, historical sights and modern day insights. Inder the trip leader was incredible. Knowledgeable friendly and fun. The trip to the Taj Mahal was breathtaking, and we saw it ahead of everyone else due to amazing organisation by Inder - he even arranged coffees while we waited in the queue.

Had the best time on the India group trip! Yoni and Mikes were the most amazing trip leaders and always made sure we were looked after and that were having a great time!! They always brought the good vibes and took the best photos for us :)) They made everyone feel included and made sure everything ran so seamlessly! Would recommend to anyone - the trip was really varied, fast paced but not too fast paced and we got to see such an incredible array of sights from tigers in Ranthambore National Park to local Bishnoi Villages and the Taj Mahal! Shoutout to Vivek as well for being the best and most knowledgable local guide and putting up with our group!!
