Tour Details

Physical Level: While the tour itself is not very strenuous, please note that it can involve thefollowing: somewhat long days, a good amount of walking, being in the sun in potentially hottemperatures, long journeys by bus or train (including overnight trips), early morning wake-upsand other similarly challenging scenarios.

Accommodation: Prices are based on the sharing of rooms and single members of the group willtypically be put together. We will be using budget guesthouses/hotels that offer comfortable, butsimple, facilities. Sometimes rooms might be without air-conditioning and in many cases, twomembers of the group might have to share a large bed. While I always do my best to secure asmany rooms with two separate beds as possible, such rooms are not very common in India at all.But that's all part of the adventure and I guarantee we'll have a blast anyway! (If you wish to havea private room to yourself, the single supplement cost is $400 USD.)

Subject to Change: Keep in mind that the above itinerary and activities are subject to change.Travel almost always involves unexpected situations so things might need to be re-arranged attimes. However, it is important to remember that travel is all about the journey, and so even theunexpected situations we may face should be treated as part of the overall experience :)

Arrival/Departure Details: I do recommend arriving at least two days prior to the start of the tourso that you'll be well rested and we can all start the tour together on that first day. If you do arriveearly, I can arrange accommodation for you in Delhi depending on your budget and I will also beable to organize a private pickup from the airport for a nominal fee. I will typically arrive in Delhi 3-4 days before the tour begins in order to show those who arrive early some extra highlights.For those who will remain in India once the tour is over, please let me know if you need anyassistance whatsoever in terms of travel ideas and/or planning. I'd be more than happy to helpyou organize the remainder of your stay!And if you plan to return home after the tour, I do recommend booking your flight for the day afterwe arrive back in Delhi (November 24th or later). Once again, I can arrange accommodation forthat last night and this will ensure that there are no issues with trying to catch a flight.
