Another great holiday with Explore. Inder was a brilliant leader, very knowledgeable and always helpful. The itinerary was well balanced between history, nature and religion with some great local experience.

Had a fabulous trip - thanks to Explore for the full and varied itinerary and to Inder for being our superb tour leader. He guided us with great skill and went above and beyond to help make the holiday so special. He had great patience and was constantly checking that no-one was left behind after each opportunity to take photos of the amazing architecture. He took us to many good (and inexpensive) restaurants and although we packed in many different experiences we never felt rushed. We were also lucky to have an excellent driver Ali, and Rakesh helped look after us on the minibus. As a result of this trip, I hope to experience many more Explore holidays.

I can home with very good memories - Indu (tour guide) took good care of us and worked hard to make sure we were safe, well fed and experienced the best, navigating around traffic and fog. I am definitely going back to see other parts of the country!
