  • The group size was intimate and didn't have the feel of being herded like cattle. The lodging was excellent in amazing locations.

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      We are traveling standby-so we are planning to leave on January 31 & arriving Wednesday night at 10pm. Would the transfers (ride to hotel) be part of the package. Or would be getting our own ride to hotel. Just asking because we are getting in late at night.

    • Explore!Operator•Written January 2024

      The trip package includes airport transfers only on the day the tour starts and on the day the tour ends. If you arrive a couple of days before the tour starts then you would need to make your own way to the accommodation from the airport. Then on the day the tour starts you need to arrive at the hotel in Delhi by 2pm. The first night's hotel is Rockland Hotel - Chitranjan Park.
