About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mapmydestination0 contributionsDelhi's Spiritual Odyssey: Exploring Diversity in DevotionA half-day journey through Delhi's religious tapestry was a soul-stirring experience. My guide illuminated the diverse spiritual landscape, starting with the serene Lotus Temple, where the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh resonated deeply. The architectural marvel and the atmosphere of tranquility left an indelible impression. Transitioning to Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, I immersed myself in Sikh traditions, from the sacred pond's cleansing waters to the community kitchen's selfless service. Witnessing the devotion and hospitality firsthand was humbling. This insightful excursion offered not just glimpses into different faiths but also a profound appreciation for India's rich cultural heritage.Written April 12, 2024

- Voyage685562106970 contributionsMagic miracle majestic kedarkanthaUsually I don't check 'status' of my contacts and 99% I give it a complete skip but I can't thank my great fortunes when I saw Ritu's status mentioning about winter trek of kedarkantha! It wasn't just her status but a divine calling for me to visit himalayas something I hadn't dreamt in my wildest of dreams and I don't think it would ever have got done if the source was not 'Ritu ' My family knew although I was going solo if this trip is through Ritu it's going to be not just safe, secured, impeccable but magical and it indeed was all this and much much more! Such is the repute of not just very professional and competent Ritu but so considerate, kind and a genuine soul! She goes beyond her working hours to ensure you are looked after! Ritu's job sometimes I wonder if it ever gets over? Right from the pick up to getting back home she is checking on you like an angel! I wouldn't call my kedarkantha trip a trek but it was a pilgrimage for me and I went with an empty mind like a white board and the kind of masterstroke of colorful memories that this universe painted for me is hard to describe! The accommodation at sankari village the food the hospitality of gorgeous himalayan souls is so humbling.the campsite near juda ka talab to base camp to summit and back.each of these places kept reinstating one fact that how generous mountains are how magnanimous how caring and how hardworking ! We had lip-smacking food and snacks and best cuppa chai in the most tough conditions where the temp runs in minus and no nearby water source! Not just procure but to ferry to actually churn out delicious food in tents and make shift kitchen was nothing short of miracle for me! I kept bowing down to the himalyan spirits and ever since I have come back to the city I haven't stopped thinking and thanking this wonderful hard working team of Ritu! Thank you Ritu and I don't have enough words to thank you! You have washed my soul pure and clean and you were the chosen instrument to take me to such a High energy place called Kedarnath!🙏Written December 21, 2023
- sanjaysingh2311630 contributionsEASE @ TRAVEL Like Never Before!!This was the first time ever we went for a planned holiday because God knew we needed help else we would have spent a fortune and landed up over sleeping in hotel rooms and missed out on breakfast too😁!! We feel so blessed that our maiden organized trip was curated by ‘Ease India Travel’ They stand so true to their name and we are completely bowled over by their passion & professionalism in making holidays a life time of precious memories! They are detailed at their work and it's mind blowing how each and every aspect of travel is looked into, planned, suggested and executed to perfection! All you have to do is to just speak with Ritu and rest assured you are in for a magical & mesmerising holiday you could have ever hoped for! Ritu is so thorough and competent in her field, reads your mind inside out and comes up with the best options! Sikkim, Darjeeling and Bhutan have got etched in our heart and soul forever and it's all thanks to Ease India Travel, Ritu and her wonderful Team! The hotels they chose for us and the itinerary they made for us, was a play to win!! We not only stayed in fantastic home-stays & hotels but also had the great fortune of personally interacting with the most humble & gracious Owners, eventually we becoming part of their family! What is most intriguing is the quality & class of the drivers & guides they have! Seriously we were smitten by them! Such graceful souls, so polite, so jovial…..didn't feel at any point in time as if we had a driver with us! It felt as though one of us was driving the car!! This is a major plus plus coz a lot of time is spent commuting and they ensured a pleasurable drive with utmost safety!! It's been more than a week since we returned to Pune and we feel so guilty for not expressing our heartfelt sentiments for this Top Class Travel Agency…..the least that one could do for them for creating such amazing n memorable experiences for us!! Thank you so so much Ritu & Ease India Travel! I hope and pray that Mighty Lord gives us many more such wonderful opportunities to connect with you soon😊🙇♀️🙏Written January 15, 2023
- Subin_muraleedharan0 contributionsEase India Travel offers incredible service when it comes to unique, offbeat homestays and properties in untouchFor a recent trip to Sikkim, we engaged Ritu (Ease India Travel) and her team as our travel organiser. My partner and I were given a seven-day itinerary that included a picturesque village in Kalimpong and beautiful Sikkim locales, including Aritar, Gantheng Valley, Nathula, and Gangtok. When it comes to unique, offbeat homestays and properties in untouched, gorgeous environments, EIT knows the best of the best. Every part of my journey was handled with a great deal of personal care and attention, from the initial inquiry to the thorough schedule. Exceptionally well-kept and spotless taxi services in all areas, with a passionate team working to make sure you have the finest experience. We didn't want to be at crowded placed, so Ritu carefully listened to us and grasped our demands before tailoring the tour to meet them. Additionally, I was allowed to alter my itinerary, which was fantastic because it allowed me to tailor the trip to suit my interests. I was given accurate information on the locations I was visiting throughout my tour, but Ritu's staff was always available to answer any questions, which made the experience flawless. We're thankful to Rajesh, Urvi, and Ritu for making it possible for me to have such a fantastic and special time. Highly recommended!Written December 2, 2022
- TamingtheShru0 contributionsLuxurious Ladakh - an incredible experience curated by Ease India TravelBefore I get into the feedback, I would like to comment upon the tremendous commitment you have shown towards the trip. Despite there being cancellations, you proceeded with the trip to keep your commitment to me, and I cannot thank you enough, for it turned out to be the best vacation I’ve ever been on. Right from day one, I knew this was going to be a special holiday. The hotels chosen were ultimate in luxury and comfort. Bar the one in Tsomoriri, all the guest houses and home-stays were really good too. Special mention here for the hotel in Hunder, which was so beautiful, I wanted to stay in for the evening just to enjoy it. No regrets on ‘wasting’ a sight-seeing opportunity, for what is this life, if one can’t stop to smell the roses. The Ladakhi guide chosen for this trip, Rigzin Namgyal, was a treasure trove of knowledge. He knows his culture, region and religion very well, and told us so many tales hitherto unheard of in my usual reads. So much information about the land and Buddhism, and the culture and art there, that I was tempted to start recording every word he said for future reference. The merits of having a local guide for your trip cannot be emphasised enough, and EIT has aced this one. Ritu is the best trip leader one can ask for! Enthusiastic, flexible with plans, and a clear head in times of unforeseen circumstances. There is a reason she is good at what she does, and this is her true calling. She made sure I was always comfortable and having a good time. The spots we visited were utterly gorgeous and mostly untouched by tourists. I cannot get over all the wonderful little stops we made, the uncrowded places we went to, the little impromptu detours that lead us to sights unseen, thanks to the enthusiastic Rigzin, and the always ready to explore Ritu. They both also instantly complied when I said I am not interested in seeing Bollywood-famous sites, but the real Ladakh. The minute my fascination for water bodies became clear, we waited at every brook and river that time would permit, and I got to dip my feet in them at every safe opportunity. This made the trip extra special for me. Special mention here for the environment friendly and local friendly attitude of EIT, promoting responsible tourism. What was not included in the package advertised was the laughter, amazing conversations and company, and the unexpected experiences and opportunities that popped up. This has been an unparalleled holiday, from start to finish. And the fact that I still feel this way nearly three months after returning, is proof that it’s not the after-vacation high talking. Given a choice, I will plan EVERY vacation of mine with Ease India Travel, and if Ritu were to lead the trip, it would make for lashings of icing on the cake complete with a cherry on top. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Wishing Ease India Travel never-ending trips and amazing guests always. Sincerely, ShrutiWritten November 30, 2022
- megalaik0 contributionsA great custom made trip to KolkataRitu arranged a perfect custom made trip to Kolkata for my sister and mother. Complete with a guide who spoke English and showed us all places which we wanted to see. Very happy with Ease India Travels services and I will recommend to all friends. Never was a call or ping unanswered. Thanks Ritu.Written October 30, 2022
- Dina H0 contributionsTrip to Northern India with friendsI travelled with a group of 9 people in Northern India for 10 days (Varanasi, Khajuraho, GoldenTriangle etc) . Our trip was organised by Ease India Travel combining what what we wanted and what the agency suggested. After spenting those 10 days and finishing our trip, I have to say the organisation was perfect, in full detail and had minor surprise (even though I was prepared to expect the unexpected). During the whole trip we had an escort with us, Deepak, who did his best to provide us with any assistance we needed and had a constant eye on us in every street we moved in India. And he was always friendly and smiling. Also, our private bus driver Ram, drove us with safety all the way in the chaotic streets of India. In the hotels we stayed we choose to have dinner and in most cases food was really great. One thing I would mention is, though we booked a triple room, some hotels were not prepared in advance for the 3rd persons' amenities (towels, pillow) and had to ask them (in one situation we asked even for for the extra bed ). But for sure I would recommend Ease India for organising your trip and definitely I would travel with them again! Thank you Ease India!Written September 5, 2022
- emiliathetraveler0 contributionsIncredible India through an amazing itinerary by professional Ease India Travel😀Just returned from an amazing trip to incredible India. We were a group of nine and organised this trip with Ease India Travel. Our first part of the trip was a hike in Kasmir and Ease India Travel was recommended to us by the hiking company. Despite the fact that you can't find a lot of reviews online... we trusted our trip to Ease India Travel and this came out to be the best choice we made. The organisation was perfect and really reached our expectations in every way. We had everything we asked for as planned and no surprises. We read so much online about India and suprises...but Ease India Travel made sure that we had no surprises. Our tour included sevelar places in north India like Varanasi, Kajuraho, Orcha, Gwalior, Agra, Fathihpur Sikri, Jaipur and Delhi. We had an escort along the way, Deepack which was great help for us with everything. Thank you Ritu for recommending an escort and thank you Deepack for beeing the perfect escort. Additionally at everyplace we visited we had a local guide giving us an insight for the place and the monuments we were visiting. Tickets were prepurchased wherever possible so we didnt wait in lines. Ritu, the owner of the company, was personally involved in both setting up our itinerary and organising everything. She is really professional and made every effort to accommodate all our needs. She provided invaluable advice and tips about which places to visit, where to stay, how to behave and what not to miss. From the first contact with her you get the best impression. Responding quickly, she is the one who personally knows places and things which is really important. She won our trust and our heart from the first call for discussing organisational issues. We had an incredible time in incredible India and Ritu, Deepack and Ease India Travel made sure for that. I would definitely recommend Ease India Travel and we would be using this company in future travels as in and around India. At the end of our trip we also got to meet Ritu personally which was an honour and just confirmed the best thoughts for her and the efforts and professionalism she puts in her company. Thanks for making us see how incredible and diverse is India!Written August 30, 2022
- mariospk0 contributionsFriendly and Professional Service - Look no furtherWe chose Ease India to do a 10day custom tour in Northern India, including the golden triangle and Varansi. We were a group of 9. We had an amazing communication with Ritu to finetune the itinerary, internal flights and ground transportation. We started our trip in Varanasi and we had a private bus (Ram was the driver) which made it gradually to all cities and sights, concluding in Delhi. At each city/sight we had a guide and all along with had an escort (Deepak) to facilitate all matters and generally provide us with assistance. All hotels had breakfast and dinner included which was great as we did not need to look around for food every day. In most cases there was not much outside the hotel too. The food at the hotels was average and in some cases excellent-but never bad. We chose 4 star hotels but having concluded the trip I would have opted for 5 star hotels (mainly cleaner and better quality amenities). The itinerary/quote received from Ritu was clear with all that was included and what was not. It was fulfilled to the last bit and we did not have any surprises. If you are looking for a professional travel agent with super-fast response look no further-choose Ease India and you will not regret it.Written August 29, 2022
