Wow! Incredible North & South India! Thank you so much to Ravi and his team at Active India for their exceptional organisation and exciting itinerary! My partner and I enjoyed a phenomenal 4 weeks, visiting Ladakh, Kashmir, Tamil Nadu & Kerala. Our guides, Chomphel/Abdul; and drivers, Sonam/Rafiq/Sutesh; were very friendly and highly professional; making our trip that much more magical. A highly memorable trip!

Okay stay. No wifi in the rooms.
Excellent buffet!
Nice stay. Wifi was an issue and room was a bit basic given the fanciness of hotel. Also, the room was far from the lake so not much of a lake view.
Stunning hotel!

Free evening to chill.
Houseboat was stunning! Beautiful lounge area & roof deck. Room was excellent for a houseboat. Both hosts were very friendly and helpful. One shared dining table for all guests was impractical. On the second night, we arrived at the dinner table at our allotted time to find another guest's child playing with our food. The next morning we ate breakfast at our allotted time while other guests sat almost on top of us, watching us intently and waiting for their turn to eat breakfast. It was uncomfortable. Perhaps, it's a cultural difference here, as we prefer to have our own space when eating. Food was very basic given the fanciness of the houseboat experience. We expected better food and more variety. Also, our schedule was so busy that we only got back to the houseboat at around 8pm on both days so didn't really have time enjoy the houseboat. The Shikara ride was fun.
Pleasant exploring of Srinagar.
Chilled day after 2 weeks of intensive travel.
Pleasant tour of the local temples.
Excellent walking tour!
Chilled day.
The hike was okay and the tea museum visit was a disappointment and not worth a visit.
An excellent walk in nature!
A wonderful array of activities - especially the cooking demonstration.
Chilled day.
We cancelled this tour due to my illness.
A fun time learning Kerala Cuisine from Rosy! And the food was delicious!
