Myths and Mountains

An excellent trip, very well organised, the guide was fabulous. Some long 
days and coach rides which make it tiring but saying that we would never have 
seen as much as we did on our own. Not enough free time to do your own thing, 
and the free time that was available was not long enough. The hotels were of 
a very good standard and the guide took us to some excellent restaurants. My 
wife &amp; I didn't enjoy the buffet meals as it doesn't give you alot of choice 
and can be expensive if you don't eat much, we wanted to experience the food 
as well as the culture and a buffet didn't give you that option, we mentioned 
this to the guide and buffet meals didn't happen again. The local guides were 
very informative and made visiting the temples and forts more interesting. 
The trip is described as leisurely but there were two days with very steep 
walking and every day was very busy not leisurely at all. We both very much 
enjoyed our trip and have some wonderful memories and photographs to 
treasure.
There were a few as it was such a great trip.
Dawn at the Taj Mahal - spectacular
Seeing a tiger in the wild - very emotional
Taking part in Holi Festival - alot of fun


Gaj was very knowledgable, funny, accomodating, thoughtful and gave us great 
tips on how to deal with certain situations which were invaluable when out 
and about.


Take cash, it is easy to change at the hotels, ATM's are not very reliable.
Plenty of hand sanatiser and tissues (most toilets out and about don't have 
toilet paper)
Crackers - in case of a bad tummy


Busy and tiring so be prepared but very worthwhile trip, you just see so much 
of northern india.

Colours of Rajasthan

The trip was good, but very fast paced with very little time for any 
relaxation. We were extremely well looked after and the standard of the 
hotels were good. The palaces , forts and temples were amazing and we had a 
local guide to explain all about them, which kept it interesting. The mini 
safari was good and we had excellent sittings of tiger in the wild. The 
downside of the trip was the bad air pollution, in all towns, but 
particularly bad in Delhi . The amount of rubbish in the streets was awful 
and everywhere which was not good to look at constantly .The standard 
restaurants and the food in them was very good, and the restaurants were well 
chosen.
The guide we had was amazing and made the trip really good, by putting in 
little extra options, like palm reading and henna tattoos.
Seeing Tigers in the wild.
The town of Udipur was very beautiful and enjoyed the boat trip on the lake.


The group leader was excellent, very professional and knowledgeable. He was 
patient and kind and went out of his way to make sure everything was arranged 
and timely. He also was honest and humorous. He made the trip excellent.


Make sure to have warm clothes for mini safari as it really is cold in the 
early morning on the back of open air trucks.
Take plenty of hand sanitizer.
Take cash to change while over there as it can be arranged very easily in the 
hotels, a lot of the ATM cash points dont work or are empty and queuing to 
use them is not great.
Take plenty of over the counter medicine with you , in case of stomach 
upsets, as there are a lot of long drives.
Read up on Hindu gods etc before you go as it would make the culture more 
understandable.

If you want to see India and experience Indian culture in a small way i cant 
recommend exodus travels enough, after a lot of searching and investigation i 
booked my holiday  / trip with Trail Finders whom recommended Exodus. I chose 
the colour of Rajastan tour as it covered everything i wanted to see in a 
short period of time.
I was not disappointed, upon arrival at Delhi International airport i was met 
by Ronit the Tour leader, he took me to a taxi to take me to the hotel in the 
centre of New Delhi, explianing that we would leave the hotel at approx 1pm 
as there was still another flight coming n later, the Taxi driver was 
friendly and the transfer was included, I checked into the hotel, showered 
and changed and went for a walk onto the small street outside the hotel, the 
local shops and market was just 100 meters from the hotel, Met up with the 
rest of the group at 1 for our tour around Delhi, what an experience, Seeing 
India Gate, etc. This is a truly brilliant trip, I wont spoil the rest for 
you but it got better by the day highlighting with the final city of Jaipuir
I would recommend this to everyone, however you have to be reasonable fit 
expect to walk about 2 to 5 miles each day up steep hills and steps, the 
Indian Roads are not brilliant once off the main highways and can be very 
bumpy and rough.
The Amber Fort in Agra is superb a splendid and insperational place to visit. 
For me personally the whole trip was insperational.

Having a meal cooked by our Guide in Jaipur in his home, with his family, it 
was a very special moment.


Ronit the group leader was a brilliant host, looking after out group, 
ensuring our safety, enjoyment and culture of India, he is a credit to Exodus 
Travel, could not recommend him enough to anyone.
Ronit ensured that all the tips at the hotels, tour guides, travel expenses 
were paid for ensuring that we could enjoy the experience / holiday with out 
having to worry about having to tip every one.


Pack light, for warm weather, remember to take comfortable travelling clothes 
as well as sturdy walking shoes, some of the paths and steps upto the 
palaces, Forts etc are steep and slippery from use
Dont take photos when you aren't supposed too, certain forts and palaces dont 
allow photos in certain rooms and your camera can be confiscated and you may 
be fined.


Go and experience India with Exodus, hopefully you will get Ronit as your 
group leader

Brilliant experiance for any one wanting to see Northern India

A fabulous introduction to India for a first-timer.  India surprised and 
delighted me in so many ways; the vibrancy, the people, the architecture, the 
culture, the food - I was constantly reminded of the line in Best Exotic - 
something along the lines of "how could you not love this country, all life 
is here".
The first sight of the Taj Mahal through the windows of the Red Fort in Agra 
reduced me to tears - it just shimmers on the horizon and is so incredibly 
beautiful.  But also Bundi, an absolute delight and assault on all senses, 
and we were lucky with a late Diwali that meant we caught the beginnings of 
the camel fair at Pushkar which was huge fun!


Krishna was just amazing, his knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness made him the 
perfect guide.  He knew the best places to eat, from a palace on the shores 
of the lake at Udaipur to street food (and the best samosas ever); he 
organised fireworks for Diwali, tuctucs in Udaipur, a trip to a Bollywood 
movie, going out of his way to give us all the best experience possible, and 
adding in extra elements when he discovered our interests.


Take existing clothes to be made up in hours from local material - I didn't 
know about it so didn't take anything but wished I had!  I took a daily 
pro-biotic but on the one occasion I felt a bit dodgy it was sorted with some 
charcoal tablets that one of the other ladies let me have.


It really was the perfect introduction to India.  The architecture is so 
beautiful, you think you've seen something that could never be surpassed, 
until the next palace where there's something even more wonderful and 
extraordinary.  But it's not just the big stuff, there were equal delights in 
walking through the chaos and noise of the markets, especially after dark; 
the food (fantastic); the light; the monkeys and cows; the number of people 
you can fit on a bike or a tuctuc; Ranthambore which even without tigers was 
a magical place, like being in Kind Louis's palace in the Jungle Book - the 
list goes on.  And the people are so lovely, there's a joyousness to the 
country which is infectious, and the colours!  Just amazing.

This was my second trip to India, having been on The Tropical South trip in 
January 2017, so I knew a bit of what to expect. For my husband it was his 
first trip. I was overawed by my experiences, the Taj obviously was a 
highlight - but be prepared for crowds. The Jain temple at Ranakpur was a 
wonderful surprise - a fabulous building, with an amazing interior. The blue 
houses in Bundi &amp; the magnificent step well! The tiger safari was a true wild 
life journey - even if the tigers all hid from us that day - the monkeys, 
birds and crocodiles were much in evidence!
Palaces, forts, temples - we explored and learnt about these incredible 
structures reflecting a way of life that has now disappeared forever!
And not to forget the people - and there are LOTS! Pushy hawkers, shy ladies 
&amp; children, laughing teens, solemn old men with craggy faces, business men in 
flash cars, women carrying containers of rubble working on a building site - 
as the saying goes 'All human life is here!'

Sitting here typing this I can't really believe I was there - to experience 
all of India's diversity - what a lot we packed in, in 2 weeks. The noise of 
hooting cars and tuktuks, the smell of dust, exhausts, drains, incense, cows 
( which really do wander in the streets and across the main roads!) The 
colour of the women's dresses, the laughing children waving at us from the 
street as we passed - so many wonderful memories.
For me it was the sunset cruise on Lake Pichola followed by the visit to the 
Brahma temple in Pushkar and a blessing by the priest, whereby we were 
absolved from our sins when we threw flowers, rice &amp; sugar into the water.
Being in Ranthambore - we just sat in the canter at one point - engine off, 
listening to the birds and sounds of the forest - bliss!


Naveen was one of the best tour leaders I've had in all my trips with Exodus. 
He was always approachable, calm &amp; efficient and met the challenges of the 
trip in a measured way - and                        there were several 
challenges! Protesters closing roads, meant he had to work with our bus 
driver to find an alternate route from Agra to Ranthambore - one which 
ultimately doubled our travelling time. He rang ahead to arrange food for us 
and even managed a birthday cake for one of our group!

When our final Delhi hotel was closed (owing to a fire in another hotel, a 
few days before), Naveen went without sleep to rearrange another hotel in 
Delhi, plus change all the airport transfers! He was always willing to engage 
in conversation, especially about his country - about which he knows a 
tremendous amount. However we didn't suffer from information overload from 
him (this was sometimes the case with local guides at palaces &amp; forts!)

Naveen had a good sense of humour and made us feel like part of his extended 
family. He always made sure we knew what our itinerary was the following day, 
that everyone was aware of timings , where to change money etc. The fact he 
took part in the optional cookery class he'd arranged for some of us, made 
the whole experience even more special.
Naveen is a credit to Exodus, you'll be a very lucky traveller if you have 
him as your guide.


Long journeys in the bus on often bumpy roads, but usually lots to watch out 
of the window - I managed to read my Kindle but it was sometimes a challenge 
. If you take this tour as your first visit to India - it will take some 
getting used to seeing the amount of litter everywhere including sacred cows 
grazing in the rubbish!
Child beggars in some of the large cities made some of us feel very 
uncomfortable, as did the elephants carrying tourists at the Amber Fort in 
Jaipur.
Be sure you like Indian food as there isn't much choice of anything else in 
restaurants and hotels but omelettes &amp; chips are usually available.
The best place to buy souvenirs is Jaipur - bazaars, jewellery shops, fabric 
emporiums- although my favourite souvenir was bought for 100R (£1) at 
Fatepur Sikri - a Taj Mahal snow globe!!!


You need to absorb the whole experience - India is...... so many things - I 
could use words like amazing, fascinating, shocking, wonderful &amp; India is all 
those. I think everyone should experience India once in their lives. This 
trip truly is a sensory experience but one I shall treasure - and it has only 
cemented in my mind a desire to see more of this fascinating country - I just 
need to decide where to go next!

To anyone unsure of whether to go - please just do it - you are in the most 
experienced hands with Exodus - they truly know how to show you the REAL 
India!

Visited lots of lovely places and the tour guide was lovely.  Took so much 
care of everyone. Saw some beautiful palaces, temples and forts in a short 
time. A fully packed holiday organised with ease for us travellers.
The hotels were a wonderful surprise. The stories in all the places we 
visited. Care taken to make sure we had a wonderful experience of and feel of 
the country.


He was fantastic. I could not of asked for a better group leader.  He 
responded very quickly each person's needs and supported all in the group. 
Very patient with everyone.


Print the trip notes and keep them with you. They were very useful.


A big thank you.
