Comfort Level

Graded ‘gentle’. A comprehensive cultural journey suitable for anyone in reasonable health. This is a fantastic eye-opening trip taking in the major sights of the ‘Golden Triangle’. Bring a sense of humour and be prepared for a very different culture and approach to life.

Dining Out

Trip price includes: 10 breakfasts, 1 lunch & 3 dinners. You’ll try lots of local cuisine during your trip. There are plenty of opportunities to eat out at restaurants offering buffets or a la carte Indian food. Don’t worry - it’s not too spicy and Hindu culture dictates a wide variety of vegetarian fare.

Responsible Travel

During your trip, you will have the opportunity to visit a school in Ranthambore to offer valuable support, a project we have developed in conjunction with our local agent. The schools we support are government funded but would benefit greatly from additional support – we fund pupils at one of our partner schools in Betalghat as they are in need of warm clothing for the winter months. Gifts of stationery and clothing would be welcomed. India – Betalghat School Betalghat is a small place in the Himalayan foothills. Here there is a school which, though government funded, is in desperate need of more financial support. It’s a primary school with approximately 50 pupils. Our first step is to provide uniforms for those children who can’t afford them. This means they cannot go to school during the colder winter months. After that we will look to buy stationery and educational resources.

Transport Used

Most journeys will use a charter bus which will have ample room for your group. You will also travel by train – a classic way to explore India. There will be a toilet and usually the opportunity to buy tea or a snack on board.

Your Accommodation

Hotels (9 nights), homestay (1 night). The hotels we use are comfortable with en suite facilities. While we don’t promise luxury we do use properties of a good standard. They will be well located with good facilities.
