    I recently returned from an incredible trip to India, and I can confidently say it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The tour organized by The Dragon Trip exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, the tour leader was exceptional—knowledgeable, organized, and truly passionate about ensuring we had the best experience. I could not ask for anyone better to guide us through India’s vibrant culture and history. The itinerary, though packed at times, was well-structured to allow us to explore as much as possible within the timeframe. I appreciated the variety of destinations and activities that showcased the diverse beauty of India. The food was another highlight—absolutely delicious! It was a great opportunity to try authentic Indian cuisine. Overall, this trip was unforgettable, and I would highly recommend The Dragon Trip to anyone considering a journey to India. I’ll definitely be sharing my amazing experience with friends and family!

    Fantastic tour! Managed to see a lot in the 2 weeks. The itinerary is well thought out, seeing some wonderful sights and due to this it is quite busy at times but that is to be expected when having a limited time in a huge country, you obviously wish to see as much as you can. In saying that the pace was good and we never had to wait long for transport. Deepak the tour guide was brillaint, friendly, kind, very well organised, always able to answer any questions about India or the tour and always on hand to brief the group on the plans, the optional extras, our preferences that day or even just join him for a coffee or to try some good local street food that he knew about. He was always interested on how we were and making sure we were well rested, had what we need etc. He is a very thoughtful and good person who felt like another friend on the tour group aswell as looking after everyone. Overall the 2 weeks were amazing with my favourite being the desert camping and sleeping under the stars, so peaceful and an experience I will never forget. But I enjoyed everywhere that the tour visited. If you wish to see some of India, get it booked!

    It was a low stress way to see a lot of places in Northern India. We got an opportunity to go to places most tourists don't know about to try the best chais.

    It was a great journey. We got in touch with the Indian culture and could explore a lot of different places in a short time! We had a pretty nice group. Our Guide Suraj was a smart guy who took care of the whole group every time. I would totally recommend this tour to everybody who wants to have two amazing weeks with a lot of impressions in this country.
