- MunroHugo0 contributionsBeautifulWhat a magic spot! I had a delightful morning exploring the fort come palace come hotel. This was followed by a nice buffet lunch and some very good cocktails! My driver was very polite and we even had a few giggles. I will add though for what it being offered I think the cost is 20% more than it should be.Written October 9, 2024

During the safari we spotted four tigers & our guide said we were extremely lucky, other magnificent animals sighted were one leopard, many deers, crocodile and many different types of birds.Written September 27, 2024
- Y5434FUpaulap0 contributionsA bit of adventure in the challenging topography, however views & spending time lake side is totally worthThis is one of beautiful isolated areas away from the mundane world, where you can see beautiful views. Reaching this place is a bit adventurous due to rough terrain and sometimes low oxygen level. Fortunately our operator was carrying oxygen cylinders in the car for emergency . Thankfully the need for the same never arose. You have to pass high altitude and tough roads. Get ready for those before arriving.Written September 26, 2024
- beatricefV4514QP0 contributionsA Perfectly planned and arranged trip to the Spiritual Pilgrimage of Lord BuddhaWe simply found Bodh Gaya, a sacred place for attaining positive energy and self insight. The Great Buddha statue which we saw was the biggest in India. Mahabodhi temple where the Lord Buddha attained spiritual powers was truly pleasant . Bodhi tree and the Archaeological museum with statues and pillars of 3rd and 4th Centuries was simply magicalWritten September 10, 2024
- bernardmG7870RU0 contributionsNeighborhood that looks Portuguese by heart & not typical Indian. Churches were beautifulColourful tiny streets of this ethnic neighborhood do not seem typical Indian, rather still look Portuguese at heart. Inhabitants quietly watch the moving world from their tiny balcaos (colonnaded porches), while walking you can still see local residents practicing the piano and violin. There is also a 19th century whitewashed Chapel of St. Sebastian at the heart of Fontainhas. Old churches build by the colonial Portuguese still stand tall in Old Goa areasWritten September 7, 2024
- ErnieKo0 contributionsGreat tour amazing serviceThe trip was out of surprises. You can actually tell the guide where you want to go not only limited to the listed destinations. And the tour operator is able to arrange car pick up and drop off at a very last minute. The guide named Peter who based in Mumbai is very knowledgeable and experienced. He did share story not only at the tourist attraction but also many other interesting things about India. I expected the train ride which was eye opening and fun. Highly recommended this tour to anyone.Written September 6, 2024

- Y17GAclaras0 contributionsexperience a different side of mumbaiWe had a memorable tour of the slums with the team of "Discover Activities" as our travel partner. Having been to Mumbai multiple times, I had never experienced this interesting neighborhood and it was amazing to see how many industries exist within it. I think everyone visiting the city should to take this tour to experience a different side of Mumbai. It's a vibrant community full of life.Written August 28, 2024
- rosepC7958KK0 contributionsA truly memorable visit for my small kids!Our visit to SOS Wildlife centre for elephants, was an eye-opening visit. The visit started with the educator explaining the motive of the organisation to rescue elephants and how they keep them in the rescue centre. Thereafter, we were taken inside the rescue centre near the elephants and were told stories about their past bondage lives. Some humans torment animals for their personal gains, But at this place we saw another side of humans, people working 24 hours taking good care of these elephants now so that they are fast on the recovery mode and do not develop hatred in their minds for us the humans. The visit was a memorable experience for me and my family and specially my small kids loved the whole trip. Its my sincere appeal to tourists, kindly encourage, motivate and help these NGOs by visiting the center if you have a day free in Delhi!Written August 27, 2024
