  First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars! When my friend Elisabeth and I decided to take this trip, Mr. Sanjeev Kumar contacted us — and that turned out to be the best choice we could have made! He suggested different hotels, recommended excursions, and always ensured we had options that met our expectations and complete satisfaction. He customized the tour according to our wishes in the best possible way. He arranged highly competent, pleasant, friendly, and helpful guides and drivers with excellent cars. They always accepted all our ‘extra wishes,’ such as photo stops or changes in the planned schedule, and were always exactly on time. Mr. Gurvinder Singh gave us a wonderfully informative tour in Kolkata. During our days in Darjeeling, we had Mr. Amid Gurung, who was extremely caring, helpful, and always adjusted the excursions—especially those involving many steps or steep climbs—to my age (79). He supported me with great caution by holding my arm or hand whenever needed. Our driver, Mr. Binai, was the best driver you could imagine, especially considering the road conditions—landslides, rocks, roadwork, heavy traffic—but he handled everything perfectly and calmly! In Bhutan, our guide Mr. Sungay was such a pleasant companion and shared a lot about the country, its people, religion, and lifestyle. Our driver Ellis was also very kind, but Elisabeth somehow did not feel comfortable with his driving (although I did not agree!). So, we changed to Mr. Rimchen, another extremely kind, helpful, charming, pleasant, and excellent driver. We had a wonderful and very interesting trip with extraordinary views of mountains, monasteries, temples, tea estates, forests, rivers, flowers, and beautiful houses. We met unforgettable, kind people — and to top it all, we enjoyed blue skies and warm sunshine every single day! Mr. Sanjeev Kumar was always reachable whenever needed. Even when we returned to Delhi, he accompanied us to an extraordinary fabric factory that my friend wanted to visit. He arranged a car for the visit and organized a bigger vehicle for our return to the airport to accommodate all our luggage. Thanks to ALKOF HOLIDAYS, and especially to Mr. Sanjeev Kumar — who spent so much time and effort arranging our reservations, visas, and all the special extras — we look back on a wonderful trip we will never forget. We will continue to enjoy all the photos we took! We will certainly recommend ALKOF HOLIDAYS to all our friends and family who are interested in tours to Southeast Asia. Once again, my sincere thanks and best regards to Alkof Holidays! Sylvia Veronika LukasShow more

  The tiger tour to Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Pench arranged with Alkof Holidays was a very good experience. I realy reccomand other tourists to make a trip with your company. The contact we had via whatsapp was always correct and with good information 🙏. I had an amazing time in India with a great tour in Delhi and memorable tigersafari’s in Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Pench 🐅🤩. Firoz is an excellent driver and a very caring man. Always on time, taking care of the safari’s and ready for having a chat 🥰. The hotels of Aranyak are a very good choice to stay at with a lot of comfort, excellent service and tasteful meals 👌.Show more

  We recently completed our Gir National Park and Tiger Safari tour booked through TourRadar, with our local operator Alkof, and it was an unforgettable wildlife experience overall. From the moment we arrived, the Alkof team was there to greet us at the airport, which made the start of the trip smooth and reassuring. Gir National Park was a highlight, and we were incredibly lucky with our sightings—we saw multiple Asiatic lions in the wild, which was truly special. That said, Gir is not as well set up for Western guests as some of the other parks. The team did their best to accommodate us, but having an English-speaking driver during this portion of the trip would have made the experience much more comfortable and informative. The rest of the journey was exceptional. Our driver for the main portion of the tour was outstanding—professional, proactive, and always willing to accommodate our requests. He really enhanced the overall experience with his initiative and flexibility. Wildlife sightings exceeded expectations across the board. In Kanha and Panna National Parks, we had fantastic tiger sightings, along with memorable encounters with a leopard, jungle cat, and even a sloth bear. It truly felt like a comprehensive Indian safari experience. A special mention goes to Ken River Lodge in Panna, which was wonderful. It had a very authentic safari feel—almost reminiscent of an African safari lodge—with beautiful views overlooking the river. It was a perfect place to relax and take in the natural surroundings. Overall, this tour delivered incredible wildlife encounters and memorable moments. With a few small improvements in communication during the Gir portion, it would be close to perfect. We would still highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a rich and rewarding wildlife safari in India.Show more
