Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    Extremely good tour, especially because our guide Thilip was excellent, knowing so much about the country and always willing to answer all our questions. Even the program is filled with various highlights, he always found something extra.

    Fantastic tour and amazing experience with guide Abhi!! Lots of one night stays which enables you to get around to see lots of places yet also a couple of 2night stays allowing you to settle in more at a few locations. Had a bonus 2 stays with pools which came in handy as the constant temperature during January was hot and humid aside from the nights spent up in the amazingly beautiful tea plantations. Bring plenty of deet and a light warm jacket or coat. Transport to and from airport is easy to book yourself and will save you a lot of money. Uber is available from most Indian airports just make sure you sort your sim card out at the airport 1st and have them activate it before you leave the airport. Vodafone will do this for you. If you are lucky to get Ahbi as your guide then you are on good hands and will enjoy the south of India

    This was our first Intrepid experience, and we booked it for India as we wanted to have someone knowledgeable about the country as well as capable of managing all of the ups and downs that come with travelling in India. Our leader and the content of the trip exceeded our expectations and we very much enjoyed our two weeks.
