Himalayan festivals offer an insightful glimpse into the region's deep-rooted customs and the joyful spirit of its people.

Guest Experiences

Served over 23000+ happy travelers

First time in India and everything went wonderfully. (4 weeks in Rajasthan, Delhi, Agra, Varanasi). With a very safe driver who transported us through traffic that is indescribable for Central Europeans. Fascinatingly beautiful and interesting accommodations, each hotel is an experience in itself. The local guides were competent and very flexible to our wishes. The agency was always available. Christina did a great job right from the start. Not to mention the price-performance ratio.
