The best way to travel. The guides show you unique things and take you on excursions you'd never be able to find yourself. The group experience builds bonds for life. Honestly one of the best expletives I've ever had.

Indian Getaway, April 2017
Amanda Croft
11 days of fun, adventure and little sleep! For me, the highlights were the sleeper trains and Varanasi. Plenty of opportunities to meet and mingle with the locals yet see the sights. Would definitely recommend doing this trip and absolutely no problem if you are a solo traveller. I was sceptical about being in a group but it was small enough to get around easily and the people like minded. Well worth the rupees!

Intrepid's Indian Getaway trip is perfect for a solo-female traveler on a budget! It was the ideal introduction to my 2-month trip in India.

Absolutely fantastic trip. Chetan our guide went above and beyond his call of duty and was the most incredible person to show us his world. The palaces and forts we stayed in were outstanding. Get amongst the street food and enjoy the local dishes, the camel ride was a real highlight for me

Top Tips: don't take too many clothes - you need to carry your case around a lot and you just don't were them. It is essential to cover up in India for women but I needed shorts for the sailing trip on the Ganges and in Kathmandu which I hadn't packed. However, these were really cheap to buy in Nepal but not available in India. Drink lots of water and don't take immodium! Ammonium keeps the germs in your tummy and stops them leaving your body. Everyone that took ammonium ended up at the doctors. Try to avoid if possible and seek medical help earlier rather than later as they really know how to treat a Delhi Belly. Go with the right attitude..... relax and enjoy the company of others, even if you wouldn't choose them as a friend. This trip is about broadening your experiences, not only from the country you are visiting but also with your fellow travellers. I met lots of interesting people from many countries on our trip and loved everyone minute of it.

Awesome trip, hotels were way better than expected on a basic tour, I'd recommend asking your tour leader to help set up optional activities that aren't on the list to get as much out of all the free time you get.

Excellent value for money, accommodation was excellent throughout. A lot is packed into the 11 days to ensure you get the most out of your stay. Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect and was very well looked after by our tour leader Naggi
