- Nicole· August 21st, 2025The tour is immersive to get in contact with local people and culture and it is an amazing chance to interact with the elephants in a respecting way. The experience was incredible, we spent some time with four big elephants which were very curious and always hungry! The mahouts were encouraging and the volunteering staff very welcoming and kind: our coordinator Pradeep was the best! He and the driver Totaram were willing to help us in every way. We met and spend an amazing time also with another volunteer and the guesthouse family and all of them were very helpful and sweet! We would like to come back again in the future.Show more

Asked on January 25th, 2023I am a solo travelling woman - would you it consider to be save to do this trip, also considering that it is probably a vary crowded place to go? And also travelling by train. I heard there are special cabins for women, would such a place be booked? Would there be a pick up to get to the train station?

Lee
Traveler•Written January 2023Would the tour take place even if no other people booked it and I would be the only person?
- Volunteering With IndiaOperator•Written January 2023
Yes we run the tours as private and for solo. Many of our past customer has joined this tour as a solo. For the train tickets there is a special cabin for women but it's not good. It is general quota which is not comfortable and you won't find seats easily. There is no A.C coach in women cabin too. For our clients we book AC 3 Tier or Ac Second Class tickets which is a very good category and has private confirmed seats. Yes we arrange pick up to station in this tour. Our representative will come to pick you from the station and also our staff will bring you in the car to the train station and help you to seated in the train.
- Volunteering With IndiaOperator•Written January 2023
Yes, the Hotels which we book for you will be Vegan Diet so don't worry. Once you book the tour and confirm this we note this.
- Volunteering With IndiaOperator•Written January 2023
All our tours run as a private. You will be only in the tour.

Lee
Traveler•Written January 2023I might be back earlier from my last tour. Would there be a possibility to rest somewhere at the train station if I got there directly?
- Volunteering With IndiaOperator•Written January 2023
Yes we will book the AC Tickets which have sleeping compartment don't worry we understand it's a overnight journey.
- Volunteering With IndiaOperator•Written January 2023
Yes from both cities there is a main station from there train leave. In Delhi it's main New Delhi Station and in Varanasi it is Varanasi station.
- Volunteering With IndiaOperator•Written January 2023
In Varanasi on the last day sightseeing finishes in late evening and we will drive you to the station. Here you will be having 1 hour waiting time because the train departs at 10:00 p.m - we bring our clients to the nearby restaurant for dinner and then drive you to there. The driver will be there with you until train depart but you can rest in the car. In Delhi it depends what time you get free. We will pick you from the place you stay in Delhi and drive you to station.

Lee
Traveler•Written January 2023I was just wondering if there might me a day to favor for the trip in terms of crowded trains or places since it would be over the weekend.
- Volunteering With IndiaOperator•Written January 2023
Your dates are perfect. You don't have to change. It's the same crowd everyday so it won't affect if you go on Monday or other days. Every day people looking to go there. You may go ahead with the original dates.
