This morning visit the brassworking village of Matiari where you can see the whole primitive process of beating out brass water pots and other vessels.

Continue a little way upstream to where the Nawab’s great Hazarduari Palace, built by an English architect in 1837, dominates the waterfront. Inside are an extensive collection of pictures, china, weapons and other objects. Visit also the great Katra Mosque and drive out to two amazing buildings of the late 18th century, the Nashipara Palace and the Katgola Palace. Both were built in classical Georgian style by rich local merchants and represent the other side of the coin of the “White Moghul” period when English and Indian cultures came close to fusion. Overnight on the riverbank across from town.

We were met at every destination by your representatives who were constantly checking that everything was to our satisfaction. The accommodation we stayed in was of a very high order and we were well looked after in each place with the typical high Indian standards of hospitality. We would particularly like to praise the Tuli Tiger Resort at the Kanha National…

Hi Rajiv
I just wanted write and thank you for putting together such a fantastic holiday in India.  In particular, the family would like to extend our most sincere thanks to Rishi (I think this is how you spell his name).  He was our driver from Delhi all the way to Udaipur. He was kind and totally responsive to our needs, sharing his knowledge about the areas we visited and India in general.  He was so flexible that he was a joy to spend so much time with.   Please pass on our thanks to …
Mrs Anne Rachel Bilham, Mr Michael John Bilham, Mr Peter Bartholomew Bilham, Mr Charles Patrick Bilham
I would like to thank you for arranging our recent trip to southern India. The whole experience was amazing. The organisation was superb throughout with very different but equally good hotels and guides. The driver,Anbu was excellent and made us feel very safe and secure which is very important when 2 women are travelling together over long distances. The most important aspect however was the rearranging of the itinerary due to the floods in Chennai so we could continue our holiday and fly home …
Mrs Caralyn Shaw
The feedback is best provided in 3 parts, i.e. by country. We will assess each of those parts in the following way: 1. Sight seeing 2. Hotels 3. Guide 4. Transport 5. Service Sri Lanka 1. All the sight seeing was excellent, in spite of the rain. You can see why these are UNESCO listed. Suggestion: for the itinerary we used your clients will need to be a little fitter than we are. In the last 2 days the travelling distances were too much – our fault as we particularly did not want to miss Yala. 2…
