What people love about India Tours from Kolkata (Calcutta)
- Kolkata to Amritsar
We had a 4 wildlife experience on this trip and I enjoyed this aspect immensely - thank you. However, a 4 50% of the trip is NOT wildlife orientated and I believe this should be reflected in the title of the trip
- 12 Days Royal Bengal Tiger Tours of India With Taj Mahal from Calcutta
A well planned trip was organized by travelcon. All hotels were at the right location and in the middle of the city but their restaurant were quiet expensive to have dinner.But overall our trip was wonderful and especially Indian wildlife safaris were exceptional. The services for our tour were all outstanding All guides were good. But I liked Arun at Agra , he showed us all the monuments of Agra including Taj Mahal. He also took us to his home to have a dinner with his family as he was celebrating his son's birthday. All naturlists were also helpful and knew where we could find Tigers. Would highly recommend this tour company that we had a fantastic and memorable trip.
- 11 Days Exotic North East India Tour Package
Overall in India we find that and have opportunity to go on an 11-day tour of North East India and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The tour package was well-organized and covered all the major destinations in the region, giving us a comprehensive overview of the culture, history, and natural beauty of this lesser-explored part of India. The tour started in Guwahati, the gateway to North East India, where we were greeted by our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. From there, we traveled to Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, known as the 'Scotland of the East' for its stunning landscapes and pleasant climate. We visited the famous Umiam Lake, also known as Barapani Lake, and were mesmerized by its crystal clear water and surrounding hills. Next, we headed to Cherrapunjee, one of the wettest places on earth, where we got to witness the spectacular Seven Sisters Waterfall and the living root bridges, a unique and fascinating man-made wonder. The tour also took us to Mawlynnong, known as the cleanest village in Asia, and we were amazed by its pristine surroundings and the warm hospitality of the locals. We then continued our journey to Kaziranga National Park, home to the famous one-horned rhinoceros. We were lucky enough to spot these magnificent creatures during our safari in the park. The tour also included a visit to Majuli Island, the world's largest river island, where we got to experience the unique Assamese culture and enjoy a traditional dance performance. The highlight of the tour was our visit to Tawang, located in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, which is home to the second-largest Buddhist monastery in the world. The monastery was a sight to behold, and we were fortunate to witness the daily rituals and prayers of the monks. The tour also took us to the picturesque Sela Pass, which offered breathtaking views of the Himalayan mountains. Throughout the tour, we were impressed by the beauty and diversity of North East India. The accommodations provided were comfortable and the food was delicious, giving us a taste of the local cuisine. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and shared interesting insights about the places we visited. Overall, I would highly recommend this 11-day tour package to anyone looking to explore the exotic North East region of India. It was a perfect blend of nature, culture, and adventure, and I returned home with a deeper appreciation for this lesser-known part of our country.
