““I loved that we got so close as a group. The trip was really organized and very well paced. Arvind was superb as a guide! He knows so much about the culture and history of India and there’s nothing like learning from an expert on site. There were so many peak experiences. Our itinerary took us to some of the most ancient sacred spots on earth where we encountered the very heart of India - it’s people. What I take away from this trip is an experience of their extreme beauty. — Dayna Cole, Seattle, WA”
