Itinerary
- 1You are picked up from your hotel / airport, and proceed to Chunar fort, According to the legend the oldest name of Chunar was Charanadri as Lord Vishnu had taken his first step in his Vaman incarnation in the dynasty of Great king Bali. However Chunar came into prominence after the wars between Mughals, Afgans and finally the Britishers to capture this strategically located fort. Later proceed towards the “Dashashwamedh Ghat” and take a boat ride on the sacred river Ganges to see the cremation Ghats and witness the living traditions of one of the world's oldest and most important religions. To conclude, you will be driven back to your hotel/airport/railway station in Varanasi
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 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

Jai has an extensive knowledge which helped us to understand greater than we could by ourselves. He was able to respond to questions and provide detailed information on the sites, relics and artefacts. Jai was able to converse and describe using clear English which helped us understand the history of India.Written September 3, 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

The tour guide was very professional and led us through the residential areas and also small scale manufacturing units of the slum that provides good employment to the locals. Real spirit of Mumbai, they live in a close knit community and in harmony, I really got the chance to see the local lives and their worklife.

- 573odieg0 contributionsFor all the tourists visiting Goa, Don't miss this bespoke Goa tourI would say what an incredible experience I had in Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary. After staying in Goa for 3 days, I was simply looking for something that is not a typical / stereotype Goa tour, and then i found this tour. The very moment I entered the sanctuary, I was astonished by seeing the lush greenery and the pristine environment. Away from the typical party going crowds, the sanctuary has got a vast range of flora and fauna. The guide knowledgeable and passionate to show-around. The sanctuary is well-maintained, and the local staff too is committed for protecting the environment and eager to educate the visitors. Later it was time for a spice plantation visit and a Delicious buffet lunch. Spice plantation had heir own expert guide for explaining about the cultivation and uses of Indian spices. Hope I could give 10 stars as 5 stars aren't enough, given the tour operators hard work in putting together this awesome bespoke Goa tour, and also his ground team for delivering exemplary ground services. For all the tourists visiting Goa, Don't miss it!Written August 20, 2024
- sabba88257249890 contributionsA remarkable birding spot that comes alive with bird calls, nesting activities of migratory birdsSultanpur Bird Sanctuary is a remarkable spot for birding and so close to the bustling city of Delhi. With 250+ species recorded, including ~90 migratory birds, Sultanpur is a paradise for birdwatchers. During the winter months from November till march, the park comes alive with a blast of colors and sounds of bird calls, since migratory birds arrive from Siberia, Central Asia, and Europe..Written August 19, 2024
- U832MNsabrinaw0 contributionsComplete value for money, a very decent price and nicely done services and tourA pleasant journey with a pleasant tour operator. A nice driver and very friendly too who took us around for 03 memorable days. A budget standard hotel was provided to us and it didnot disappoint us at all. We get a complete peaceful night stay with hot breakfasts on local meal menus!, Rooms were nice and clean and we couldn't have asked for more at such a decent price. Small on price but big on experience.Written August 16, 2024
