Absolutely fantastic and looking forward to going back again in a few years time to photograph more tigers. The tour leader Saurabh is a warm, open, engaging and friendly guy with a great sense of humour who is a trained and very knowledgeable naturalist and keen wildlife photographer who has a wealth of experience in organising and running these tours.read more

Absolutely fantastic and looking forward to going back again in a few years time to photograph more tigers.

We really loved Bhutan. The country is beautiful, the landscapes so gorgeous, the people are warm, welcoming and interested in sharing information about their country. This was an excellent trip due in part by the planning and organization of the operator who, through our conversations initially to customize our trip made it fit for us, and, once we got started, helped us reorganize the trip so we were able to reach Bhutan even though we needed to cancel our Nepal visit. The country, people, ...read more

The day riding to Ranakpur and actually being able to manage 80km on a very hot day The hotels we stayed in were all amazing in different ways. We had a wonderful time. We cycle a reasonable amount in the uk but my wife had never done a multi day tour before and never covered the distances we did before but found it remarkably easy and extremely rewarding. Being out in the Indian countryside was wonderful. The day riding to Ranakpur and actually being able to manage 80km on a very hot day The ...read more

Experiencing the amazing colours, noises, tastes and bustle of India; the beauty of the Taj Mahal (which, however ready you are to be underwhelmed) is stunning.

Possibly our best holiday ever. Apart from how amazing India is, all the arrangements worked like clockwork, and the operator was very helpful whenever we had a problem of our own making - which were the only problems we encountered! The service from them and local staff could not have been better.read more

An eye opener for those who have not travelled in India before & a real insight into local rural life, which is completely different from city life.
