Reviews of our India Tours for May
Feedback from guests who toured India during May.
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,.
Stu | Traveled in May
An amazing trip that kept on delivering. As previously said in other reviews, full on with some long days but rewarded with great locations and experiences. We were in a group of six with our excellent guide Anil who can fix/sort anything. So many highlights, impossible to list them all but the wildlife and sailing down the Ganges were superb. Camp food on the Ganges was some of the best we had. If you are thinking of this trip just do it. You won't moan about potholes after driving in Nepal.

Special thanks to Manish who are truly man of words

The rail trip across north India with Explore was undoubtedly a magical and once in a lifetime experience. The itinerary was jam packed and whilst exhausting with early starts and long rail journeys, it ensured we made the most of the 14 days . The accommodation was varied, sometimes underwhelming but on the whole acceptable. For the price we paid, Explore could make improvements, as It’s so cheap in India . Amritsar was my highlight, the golden temple and the border crossing was a glorious end to an incredible adventure. Extend your stay here if possible , we had an extra day and loved wandering around, exploring the winding streets close by the temple.
Radymir | Traveled in May
