Great first trip to India, although classed as basic trip certainly didn’t feel like it, saw so much and Bhagirath was a great tour leader

We had a great trip in India with our leader Madan. He knew a lot about history and culture and explained it very well, as well as made the whole group feeling very comfortable. The night boat ride that we did in Varanasi was the highlight for me on this trip, but there is many other things like Forts, Temples and of course the Taj Mahal that you will visit. Overnight train rides are not for everyone, but for sure a great way to get close to the locals. It was the first Intrepid trip for me, but it will for sure not be the last!

As a person who normally travels individually, it was a great experience to be with a good organisation and Maddy as a great guide.

Usually do not write public comments, but: Excellent organisation, itinerary and value for money, and compliments to your tour guide! We will definitely travel with Intrepid again, and cannot recommend you enough. Thanks to your team in India and our guide, GajRaj!

Intrepid is a one of a kind travel company. Their values are very evident in every aspect of the trip, my tour guide Gajraj educated me about the importance of every site we visited. I love having everything organised and laid out for me.

India is amazing country, and Intrepid made sure we saw super great places, and met wonderful people. I will do Intrepid again for sure, and thanks for super smooth organisation and cool people, as our guide Raj.

This trip was an amazing insight into India in a short amount of time. You really don’t stop, but it’s worth every second. There’s a few early mornings but I’d recommend doing all the extra activities if you can. Look out for Chandra as he is THE BEST guide!

This tour of India was an incredible, enriching experience, made exceptional by our group leader, Chandrajeet. His knowledge, care, and leadership ensured we felt safe, informed, and inspired throughout. The itinerary, accommodations, and trip materials were well-organised, and the journey positively impacted both my physical and mental wellbeing. Highly recommended.

If you are nervous to travel then Intrepid is the right company for you! They employ local tour guides who offer a niche insight into the country you’re visiting. I had a tour guide named Chandra who really set the standard. Chandra was the most amazing tour leader, exceeding all my expectations. As a 20-year-old just out of university and new to travel, I was unsure where to start. Booking a trip to India, my dream location, felt like the perfect choice. Chandra met us exactly where we were- calm, level-headed, and incredibly humorous. From the moment we met, he made us feel completely safe and at ease. Walking around India with him, I felt confident and carefree. His knowledge was exceptional; no matter the question, he answered with confidence and depth. He also shared stories of his own life, which was an honour, as his wisdom was evident and truly inspiring. Chandra was always attentive to the group’s needs and tailored the trip to our interests. Even when faced with differing preferences in the group, he managed to ensure everyone had the best experience possible. For anyone travelling with a positive mindset and a desire to embrace every opportunity, this trip will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Chandra was kind, welcoming, and dedicated to making our journey memorable. If I visit India again (which I absolutely want to), I will definitely request a tour led by him. Anyone travelling with a Intrepid would be beyond fortunate to have him as their guide.

Our trip was excellent! It was a great balance of included activities and free time. I liked that this trip included great monuments but also felt like you were emerged into the culture. I didn’t feel like I was just a tourist but also being exposed to how locals live and their culture. Furthermore, our leader Abhimanyu was incredible. He went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable navigating India and provide deep knowledge of India’s history and culture. I definitely recommend this trip :)
