What people love about India Tours for Young Adults
Anil was a truly amazing guide with a wealth of knowledge and vast network of people he had formed connections with to contribute to making the tour great. He was also incredibly friendly and just an overall great guy to chat with and hang out with! Everything on the tour was amazing from the landmarks like the Taj, Red Fort & Amber Fort, but also the workshops were incredibly fascinating and the food & drinks were all delicious! Highlight was seeing the leopards on the safari! 10/10 would recommend!

I loved my tour with One life Adventure. I did the 12 days North India tour and I was anxious before the start. Never did I feel unsafe during the trip. Our tour leader was amazing and went above and beyond for us and made us discover India in a way I wouldn’t off without him. Thank you One Life and Anil for this wonderful experience!
