"I always say: travel slowly. India isn't a destination to rush through. Its true magic reveals itself when you spend time in each place, connect with the people and embrace the rhythm of everyday life. Fewer destinations almost always lead to a richer, more rewarding journey."

"Nothing Short of Extraordinary"
We have had the most amazing time, great hotels and great experiences. Our drivers and guides have been excellent, in particular Govinder Raj who has been our driver and companion for the last ten days. Govinder has been extremely obliging and has made sure we have been safe and where we should be, on time, with all our belongings and with a stack of goodies and water. He has kept the car immaculate both inside and out, and has driven us with care and skill on all our journeys. Your planning of all the inclusions such are the ceremonies at temples, boat rides and the Everest Flight made the whole trip one never to forget.
