The round trip was really very well organized. Ashu instructed all the drivers and guides precisely, took us to our seats on the train and picked us up again directly in front of the carriages. Ps. Tell the guide straight away not to approach any sales events, we are in India, everyone wants to sell something. Top trip.

Our group of four had an unforgettable November 2024 train tour through India! From Delhi’s vibrant energy to Kochi’s dreamy backwaters, every moment was magical with barely a hiccup. Stunning sights, seamless travel, and thrilling adventures await. Highly recommend this epic journey!

We had an amazing 10-day trip with the Himalayas Tour! From Amritsar to Dharamshala, McLeod Ganj, and the Shimla Toy Train, everything was awesome. The guides were super friendly, the McLeod Ganj hotel was great, and the toy train ride was so much fun. The hotels were comfy, and our group of four loved every moment. Totally recommend this tour for a fun and easy Himalayan adventure!
