    I have had one past trip with Intrepid Travels. I enjoy their itineraries (minus mandatory trips to tourist traps lol) and transportation; however their hotel accommodations are hit and miss. We had a guide for one part of a trip and then it changed to another guide. I would say in general, it was a good trip if you are looking cultural immersed trip; do not have high expectations and are not high maintenance. The only reason I chose Intrepid because I knew what to expect. Some tour companies fill up the bus with 50 ppl- that is not my thing. Intrepid has small group that you end up making friends for life with some of them.

    I was a bit skeptical booking this trip on Touradar as there wasn’t any recent reviews but I took the chance and all I can say is.. I’m so glad I did! It was my first Intrepid Tour but will not be my last. I have done previous tours with a younger cohort but really enjoyed the mix of ages. India- The Golden Triangle Tour up to Agra. My Group Leader was Juhi, a really sweet, patient and knowledgeable group leader. The first hotel we stayed at was very basic. The area wasn’t great but I’m guessing because it was close to the metro subway, that’s why we stayed in this area. We took the metro to a few activities which was pretty cool. There were a few days where we spent a lot of time walking in the sun which I loved but it might not suit every one. For a lot of the temples we had guides which was brilliant but I suggest looking up some the history prior to going so you can really engage. We visited a gem factory, a carpet factory, silk factory and though these sound boring, it was super interesting and no obligation to buy. I regret not buying something in the silk factory- all traditional silk ways of making things. We did a food tour as an additional activity booked through intrepid and it took us to amazing street food! The Taj Mahal was incredible, I thought it would be jam packed but we went at golden hour and it was perfect. For those wanting to get a snap without people in it, you can ask a photographer there to photoshop people out! Jaipur the pink city was so nice after the chaos of Delhi. The hotels we stayed at for the rest of the trip were lovely! For the second part of the trip, some of us who were continuing on, joined another group. Our group leader was Neeraj (Nicky) a very patient, hilarious inclusive leader. Nicky was very experienced and even organised outside activities and accommodation for after the tour (I was able to get a discount so would recommend talking to intrepid about accommodation before and after to get the best out of your trip). The highlights were seeing 8 one horned rhinos in Chitwan National park, being so close it looked at us a few feet away ( set your expectations low and you will not be disappointed). Kathmandu was incredible also. If you’re wondering if this tour is for you: There is a night train that isn’t every one’s cup of tea but Nicky made it as relaxing as possible. There is a bit of physical activity-walking, climbing in and out of boats, camping, tuk tuks, Nepalese roads are extremely bumpy also so if someone has back issues, it may not be the best tour (best to speak to intrepid prior to booking). My only criticism was that when we went camping on the Ganges river (prepare yourself to be do wee and poo in a hole) was that the boat we took was a row boat and it took a fair while to get there (they were sleeping in between!) would have been a far better experience if it took less time eg a motor but it was a brilliant experience none the less. Clothing wise: I brought some cotton pants, scarves as you need to cover up going to the temples. Go with no expectations to both India and Nepal and you will have the most amazing time! Food is cheap also! Thanks for a trip of a life time intrepid!
