Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would send friends their way.

Tamil Nadu done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude.

Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. No hesitation recommending them.

Tamil Nadu done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Good value for what's included.
