Absolutely amazing! Our guide Jeffin was fabulous as was the riding, food, accommodation, sights and overall experience in India.
Nadine | Traveled in May
I had a great time - when I saw my Tour Leader with the 'Explore' sign at the airport on arrival - I knew I was in safe hands - he was kind and generous with his time and had a passion which enthused. The accommodation was great - better than I expected and the 'immerse india' van for driving us from city to city was fast and efficient. I couldn't recommend this tour any more highly for those looking for adventure in India - I only hope my next explore holiday lives up to this first experience...
Jeremy | Traveled in May
An excellent trip and great fun. I took 1 star off because the food at the lodges was boring and unimaginative. Basically it was the same food for lunch and dinner at every lodge. A 2nd star was taken off because of the overnight train ride. It was long, 10 hours, uncomfortable and difficult for those over 60. All our bunks were at the top so no windows to see out. It was difficult to get in and out for those over 70. Uncomfortable to sleep on. One lady on our trip was in placed in a different carrage, fortunately our guide swapped with her but that meant the guide was not with us. The rest of the trip was incredible and we saw 14 tigers from 15 game drives.

Booking process was simple online. Response was very quick. I was happy with the small group size. The Tour Leader was excellent. The hotels were good, although not close to the centre or any interesting areas. The itinerary was well chosen, and wasn't too frantic.
Jonathan | Traveled in April
I especially loved the accommodation in Jaipur which was like staying at the Exotic Marigold - it was a dream come true in its decor, lovely staff and my room was resplendent with stained glass windows and even an internal room with a writing desk . I must write a novel about OUR trip !!!
Anonymous | Traveled in April
This was an ambitious tour particularly since we added the pre and post tour options. Nevertheless we thoroughly enjoyed the experiences we shared. We would be hard pressed to name one memorable experience because there were many. We particularly appreciated the variation from stop to stop, i.e. city venues to historical forts to game preserves. Ashish was great, knowledgeable and eager to share his insights.
