Destination : India

There’s probably no other country on the planet that blazes its way into your memory like India.

Years later, you can still hear the morning calls of the chai wallahs; see smoke curling over the Ganges during a golden Varanasi sunrise, and smell the rich aromas of simmering curry. A lot of India tours rush from highlight to highlight, ticking them off in a blur of temples and tikka. But not us. Our India holidays are more about spotting Bengal tigers in Ranthambhore or Panna National Park, hanging with nomads in Jaisalmer, meeting the holy men of Pushkar, or hunting down the best street eats. This isn’t just the India you see on postcards. This is India as it is. Raw, bizarre and totally addictive.

Holi Tour, our first trip to India was a fabulous Festive experience. Tiger-spotting safaris among the lakes and jungles of Ranthambhore was an exciting excursion. A great itinerary, some amazing sites and a host of new friends. Who could ask for more?Outstanding Tour! Loved every moment of it!! An awe-inspiring two weeks with Cal India!!

Incredible Festive India! Our Holi trip, including a day full of colors, sweets and cuisines at Agra, the romantic city of Taj mahal was a great exposure of Indian legacy. Our tour was led by Kusum, our very knowledgeable and capable local Tour Leader. I could go again tomorrow with Cal India!!

Holi Tour, a well-managed and informative trip. Extremely well led and performed. Lived up to the advertising. Every detail was taken care to make sure we had access to good local food and drink. Excellent local accommodation - not just sterile chain hotels. Holi Celebration with locals at Agra was a tour highlight. Awe-inspiring and eye-opening journey into the real north India during festivals. Thanks Cal India!!

I learned so much about Indian Festivals and I felt like I was in white gloved hands with Cal India. It can not be easy to go out of your comfort zone but it felt exciting to be a part of cultural immersion. Great itinerary and our guide Harshita had brilliant local knowledge and connect with locals made it so fun and interesting. Holi Tour- a great trip stuffed with lots of sights and range of activities and festivities!!

Highly recommend Holi trip for a beautiful visit and celebrations of North India. Great food, great activities, beautiful cities, temples and forts. Got to see dolphins in the Ganges and tigers in Ranthambore. We witnessed the mesmerizing colors and sweet delicacies. Well-organized and nice balance between travel days and activities. I would highly suggest this trip, it reflects you the real Festive India!!
