1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Seeing golden eagles in the mountainous areas, seeing the Golden Temple at Amritsar, the Dalai Lama’s temple in Dharamshala, the ceremony on the border of India and Pakistan, the food, the people!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take plenty of toilet roll and hand sanitiser for the long train trips with poor facilities. Otherwise, bathrooms are of a fairly decent standard.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It definitely benefited local people, our money was clearly going to locally run places, cafes, individuals, it was good to be part of a trip that brought economic benefit to local, often fairly poor people. Not sure about environmental, as we bought so many plastic bottles of water to cope with the heat. There weren’t really any trustworthy other sources of clean water. Got sick from drnking ‘filtered’ water at a hotel so stuck to bottles.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Great! Our tour operator applies its responsible tourism vlaues really well, and our guide was absolutely brilliant. A few long days of travel, but even that helps you experience India and appreciate the distances and the terrain better.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
