India’s North & South

This was our first time travelling with Exodus and we have had a superb experience. From the initial enquiry about the trip, booking ,departure/ joining details and trip exceeded expectations.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the Taj Mahal at sunrise and learning more about religion and the people of India.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Naveen introduced himself to us prior to the trip which was very welcoming. He went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great trip. He was very knowledgeable across many topics and was very personable. He made the group comfortable and relaxed with each other. With regards to the gas shortage as the trip went on, he quickly arranged substitute venues for meals and toilet/ lunch stops at short notice.

India’s North & South

We were the only two travellers in our ‘small group’ and had been made aware of this before departure but the level of organisation for our trip was still second-to-none. Thank you Exodus and a very big thank you to Mayank Khamesra, our guide, who travelled with us throughout the 15 days and became a companion as well as ensuring all our needs and hopes were fulfilled. Our drivers in the north, Rajeesh, and south, Lenin, were both so courteous and kind and made us feel safe in a country where driving standards are somewhat lacking. All the additional guides at our sightseeing destinations were also most friendly and knowledgeable and are a credit to Indian tourism.

Most Inspirational Moment

Where do we start?! We keep asking ourselves that. At the moment I would say Old Delhi tour with a former 'street child' Kaleesh. We experienced the 'underbelly' of the city; the Taj Mahal of course; the two cookery classes where we prepared and then ate the results; the Neemrana Fort Palace; the Tea plantation visit; and the overnight cruise of the Keralan backwaters.

Thoughts on Group Leader

An excellent guide and most personable. As we were only two, Mayank became our constant companion. He was knowledgeable and we got to know him very well. He's a credit to Exodus.

India’s North & South

This was my third Exodus trip and as previously, Exodus provide a great service, arranging everything and providing excellent information both before and during the trip, so that you know exactly what to expect. Tour leaders can be relied upon to manage all situations and local guides are interesting and informative. Exodus explores a wide range of locations in interesting and imaginative ways.

Most Inspirational Moment

Old Delhi, Taj Mahal, Jaipur, Periyar, were fabulous but everyday had its own highlights. The landscape, watching a very different world go by, even the travelling was great.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Interesting, informative, very organised and patient. He organised everything seamlessly but still managed to be fun to be with. He became very much part of our group.

So many adventures and a perfect introduction to India!

This was a busy itinerary with some early starts and long transfers, but it meant we saw so many amazing places every day. Our memory of the first week in the north, was of the noisy mayhem that is India, with quite a lot of sightseeing to monuments. In contrast the week in Kerala was more relaxed either by the sea or in the mountains. Being a ‘Premium Adventure’ meant we were in good standard hotels, and about half the dinners and some lunches were included in the price, which was appreciated. Also, our leader saw to all the tipping for the whole trip, so we didn’t have to have a kitty (a bit of a bugbear on previous Exodus trips).

Most Inspirational Moment

It is difficult to pick out one moment, but have to say that the Taj Mahal did not disappoint. Being there from sunrise, watching the colours change with the light was a magical experience. Another vivid memory is of a late afternoon walk through a tea plantation after the pickers had left.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mayank was an outstanding leader. We were a small group who all gelled, so it was very informal and Mayank was one of the gang. He was efficient, reliable and great fun. On the long journeys he talked at length about aspects of Indian life, giving us all a greater insight into the history and culture of the country. Nothing was too much trouble and he definitely added to the success of the holiday.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are likely to visit India only once, this tour would be an excellent choice. We had so many different experiences and enjoyed the great variety. Although it might be a bit more expensive than other Exodus tours, we felt it was good value.

India Premium

A trip of two very different halves. The busy bustling Golden Triangle followed by the calm and beauty of Kerala.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were many lovely moments but, perhaps, it was the tour of Old Delhi with the local guide from the street project - followed by an exhilarating TucTuc ride to the markets.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ajay was a charming man with a good sense of humour who dealt with what we put him through. His passion for his country was evident throughout.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It was good to arrive before the group flight to allow time to orientate yourself before all the tours start. The fortnight is fairly full on.
