Tour information

Incredible India!
I have been lucky enough to visit India on 4 occasions. Each time to see different parts of this most diverse country. This time we take in some of the northern parts including some areas most certainly not part of the usual routes travelled. Shimla, Dharamshala and the Punjab. This tour is designed for travellers keen to see the best of this beautiful country.  Check out the hotel list in the itineary with each property hyperlinked to their website - the resorts and hotels are a  real feature. We will be looked after!
The tour is going to be guided by Rajeev Butalia who has guided us on previous tours. He has been a great help in suggesting places to visit and tour logistics. If you join us you will love him!
I think the tour represents good value for money with many tour inclusions and all meals. Meals are included to ensure food safety standards are ok for our Western sensibilities and also to showcase the great local cuisine. 
​Tour highlights should include:
  • Golden temple in Amritsar
  • Taj Mahal of course by day break and sunset
  • Himalayan culture
  • Tibetan cultural experiences - Dalai Lama territory
  • Scenic train ride from Kalka to Shimla in the foothills of the Himalayas
  • Jaipur pink city
  • Resorts relaxing
  • many cultural visits
  • city tours
  • Expert master guide - Rajeev Butalia
  • all organised!
