Amazing experience! We travelled in Feb 2025 and had Raj for our tour guide. He was flexible and did everything possible to accommodate requests for additional adventures. So, we did far more than the itinerary. We accomplished all 3 highlights, even seeing a tiger. It was magical, emotional and touched us all. She was beautiful. We were later told we only had a 20% chance of seeing a tiger in February, which made it even more special. Be prepared to be fit and healthy, as the days whizz by and are packed full of adventures, quality shopping experiences and unforgettable sights. Plus great local food. If you are flexible and open to new experiences you'll have a great time.

We added an extra day cut out the,night flight which was a big start.
18 days of the best experience of India an a ton packed tour of life and history of this beautiful country.

However not for the faint hearted. A lot of walking and long bus rides so you need to fairly fit as the temperature was also around 33 degrees + most days.
Highlight. Varanasi where my father came from. To "To tread the boards" where he was born was magic.

Twilight. There really was not one in this vibrant land.
