“India on licensed guides and heritage stays”
Licensed guides in every city and heritage properties where they exist. Named after the ledgers Rajasthani havelis kept, which is where several of the stays came from.
Rajasthan was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Solid operator.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Recommended.

Rajasthan was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Would book with them again.
Rajasthan was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Recommended.

A jeep carries six and a canter twenty. Canters are cheaper, louder and get the same zones — but you sit where you are put. This trip is jeeps only and that is a large part of the price difference between the two operators.
One other operator runs this trip. See all 2 side by side →
