What people love about touring Northern India solo
This is the tour that I wish everyone was on. It combines sightseeing, activities and on the top of that local family experience that is priceless. Sharma family us one of the reasons for visiting India and staying in their beautiful house surrounded by pristine nature. This experience is undoubtedly really outstanding and unique, gives you a deep insight in indian culture and their life. Apart from it we did fantastic sightseeing of really astonishing monuments and had interactions with locals. Trekking to local Himalayan villages was a great attraction, too. We admired the beauty of Himalayan nature and had a chance to observe local life of mountain people. We'll never forget this tour and will recommend services of Paylesstoursindia. Many many thanks
Unique Himalaya tour with culture depth experience
- 3 Days Guided Tour Delhi With Taj Mahal By Flight From Mumbai
The tour was very good. I loved the hotels especially bristol hotel. I think all meals and everything should be included. Was a little upset that i had to stand up for that. All entries into all things we visited for sure should be added with out having to insist on it. The tour guides were very good and helpful and made my trip very nice and cab driver was very nice (wish he spoke more english but he was very kind and nice)
- Foothills India Himalayas & Golden Triangle
What a wonderful weather of Himalayas it was so cool we liked very much and nature at it's best we are happy and enjoyed this long journey. Everything was great and our driver Rajesh did great job
