Hello Baral,

It took some time to write you, but i wanted to thank you and give you some report from our trip. It was in one word: excellent! The driver (Babu) and tour leader (Bani) were very good. We felt very comfortable with them.

The driving of Babu was an example to all other tourist chauffeurs: no hurry, no risk, beware of holes, bycicles, trucks, busses and unexpected incidents. Yet determined to arrive on time.Very reliable!

Bani was also excellent. He guarded us, took care, spoke good english and was very knowledgable about all aspects of the religion, temples, local economy etc. His remarks put things in perspective and gave us more understanding of India. Several times he made an extra effort and made shure we saw/experiencend more than was on the itenerary.

South India was very beautiful; with very friendly people. We never were uncomfortable. We found the Indian culture to be very rich in tradition but also very entrepreneurial.

Certainly India is on our list for another trip some time.

Hi_tours arranged a brand new (!) bus with an air conditioner for even the hottest moments (therefore sometimes it was too cold in the bus ;-)

Most impressive to us was Tamil Nadu. The meeting at the Bylakuppe villages was also very impressive.

A pity that the trip lasted only 21 days!

We enjoyed working with you and we want to thank you for making it possible We'll keep your adress at hand!
Maybe we will visit nepal (and/or)tibet/north india in the future.

We are plannning a trip to china in 2009. (Any possibilities/affiliates?)

Again many thanx Baral, to you and your staff, also on behalf of my wife and our two friends,

Thank you for the fantastic journey that you made for us in India.

Everything was perfect, travelagency, organization of the journey, guide, cook, helpers, transport, tents, hotels, meals etc.The only thing that was not perfect was the weather, but we know that the connections with the sky are very difficult and not sure.

Kind regards and... until the next journey... but then in Nepal,

Rita and Daniel
