    · October 22nd, 2025
    Amazing pilgrimage tour of India. My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on this tour. It was well organised and informative. We managed to see all the Buddhist religious sites of significance. From start to finish we were taken care of extremely well, the transportation and our accomodations were all very good. Even when my mom had a terrible fall at the airport in the beginning, the organiser did not hesitate to accomodate our needs such as taking us to the doctor or getting meds for us. They are very accomodating to any suggestions we had, while giving us a very good tour experience of India. The guides at each place were very informative, and we had a good amount of time to spend at each religious site. I’m very glad I selected this company for our Buddhist pilgrimage.
