- Beth· December 19th, 2023Our guide Jigme Yordzer and driver Sangay Kandu were excellent and wonderful. However, our schedule was a little overbooked with too much to do considering the lengthy drive times we had some days in-between destinations. Jigme was very helpful and accommodating as we needed to rearrange activities for a few days. Also, one of our days was a national election day, and the entire country was shut down. For future tours, such national election days, holidays, etc. need to be called-out in-advance in the itinerary.Show more
- Beth· December 18th, 2023A lovely tour. The only downside was too much was scheduled given the long drive times between two points. We were unable to cover all that was listed in the tour or the time spent at some places was too brief.Show more
- Emma· March 25th, 2025It was the best two weeks ever thanks to Atul and his wonderful team. We spent one week north of India, visited all the wonderful spots and we even celebrated Holi. It’s very complicated to select one highlight as we really saw so many wonderful things. After a week in the north we went to Kochi and visited the south of India which is more relaxing, green and seems like a different country. Atul was the best coordinator, he anticipated all our needs and was listening and adapting the program to our wish. Thank you so much Atul and Vijay for everything. You made our trip wonderful.Show more
