What people love about touring India solo
Loved this Tour ! Got to see a lot on India in 12 days
Solo-ish India
- Heart of India (5 Destinations)
Driver was attentive and respectful.
- Taj Mahal & Rajasthan with Royal Stay at Castles
Solo traveller from Canada, 59 years old. My goal for this trip was simple: to see as much of Rajasthan as possible within the time I had. India, with its spirituality, deep history, and vibrant culture, exceeded every expectation. Each of the nine places I visited offered something breathtaking. From India Gate, Qutub Minar, and Humayun’s Tomb in New Delhi, to the City Palace and Palace of Winds in Jaipur, to the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort in the blue city of Jodhpur. Udaipur’s palaces and the Garden of the Maids were equally enchanting. And of course, the journey culminated with Agra and the Taj Mahal, a place so majestic it almost defies description. The stays in two historic castles were a highlight of their own. Coming from Canada, the experience felt almost otherworldly: the quietness, the beauty, the sense of history, and the lively villages just outside the castle walls created a setting that was both peaceful and immersive. Ranthambore National Park was the one part that left me slightly disappointed. I had hoped to see a tiger in its natural habitat, but luck wasn’t on my side this time. Perhaps others will have a different experience. The long drives between destinations might be considered a drawback for some, but I found them to be an unexpected gift. They allowed me to see more of the countryside, pass through countless villages, observe daily life, and even visit temples and forts that weren’t part of the original itinerary. A special mention must go to my driver, Mr. Vishnu Singh Shekhawat. He was exceptional: quiet, personable, punctual, and highly skilled. Indian traffic is something one must experience to truly appreciate the value of a calm, attentive, and experienced driver. Vishnu navigated everything with ease and always made sure I felt safe. He also shared insights about local customs and offered helpful advice for social situations. One small but memorable gesture: on the early-morning safari in Ranthambore, he insisted I take a blanket. I didn’t think I’d need it, but once we reached the misty park, I was very grateful. Communication with Swastik India Journeys, the tour organizer, was smooth and reliable throughout. Overall, this was a very good tour, rich in history, full of unforgettable sites, and deeply educational. I returned home with a greater appreciation for India and its incredible heritage.
What our customers ask about India Tours for Solo Travelers
