Advantages: Professional People Disadvantages: Nothing
...Namaste everybody,
I just come back of 8 weeks in India. For this trip I was in Calcutta, Assam ( Kaziranga N.P. ), Uttaranchal ( Corbett N.P. ), Rajasthan ( Keoladeo & Ranthambhor N.P. ), Madhya Pradesh ( Bandhavgardh N.P. ), Varanasi, Udaipur and Jaipur.
I was using for second time the services of Real India Tours for reserving my hotels and Guest Houses ( I choose them myself ), a car with driver ( An Ambassador with a great driver speaking really good english and driving really safelly ), booking the jeepsys, guides and routes for the differents National Parks, Planes and trains tickets.
Everythings were perfect, no commission men , no visits of Shops, only what I previous; that was really great.
Many thanks to Raju...

Advantages: Impressive architecture Disadvantages: Too much hassle to stand and admire it
...A visit to the Palace of the Winds in Jaipur can be a bit of an anti climax. Having imagined it standing in isolation in beautiful palace grounds it is somewhat disappointing to find that it is situated directly on the main road running through Jaipur. Our coach stopped on the same side of the road as the palace which meant that for a reasonable photo you had to cross the road. This is no easy feat in Jaipur. Traffic hurtles towards you, yet we were warned that rushing across the road is more likely to unnerve drivers and cause an accident than an unconcerned amble.

There is absolutely no chance of just standing, staring and considering...

Advantages: ROMANCE Disadvantages: Time your first view for the less crowded times.
...After reading several reviews I thought it is time to recall our visit to the Taj which is from memory so may be sketchey on detail, but there is all the necessary historical facts on other very good reviews , so this is just an old lovers memories.
Jane (My very own Queen Mumtaz Mahal) and I were coming up to our Silver Wedding Aniversery in March 1995, so we wanted a very special destination for a Holiday to celebrate, we both had a hankering for India so a two week Holiday was booked to Goa with a mini tour included of Jaipur, Agra and Delhi. (The Golden Triangle).
We had 7 Nights in Goa then it was time for the mini-tour.
It was on the Flight to Jaipur that I lost my fear of flying. Goa to Bombay not too bad the Air hostesses served Curry Meat or Veg. Plane landed at Bombay every one got off except for our tour party of 22 souls...
