What people love about touring Northern India solo
- Mountains & Mystics of India (including New Delhi)
This was my first trip to India, and I was fairly nervous despite being a regular traveler - I just didn't know what to expect. I landed in Delhi alone, a solo female traveller, and I was overwhelmed by the people and traffic. But as soon as I joined my group, all of my anxieties disappeared and I began to be captivated by a country and people for the next two weeks that will leave me longing to go back again and again. Our trip leader was all class - an incredible ambassador for his country and company. And the trip itself was an extraordinary experience up in the far north of India, where we say scenery that was totally unexpected - alpine vistas and winding mountain roads - it blew my mind. The food was next-level delicious. Every person I met along the way was friendly, warm and generous - and everyone wants you to fall in love with India, so they really go out of your way to make sure you experience the best hospitality and generosity. I would, and have, recommended this trip to my friends and family, and a couple have already booked to visit next year!
- Delhi Agra Mathura Vrindavan Trip
