1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Mysore Palace and traveling through the rural areas where the true India is.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Generally wherever we were, food portions were generous so wise to share single portions. Rupees are a closed currency so you can’t exchange any spare in the uk when you return.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Absolutely. All accommodation employed local people and used local produce. All had on site water purification and zero plastic bottles.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Everything. Whoever invented the slogan "Incredible India" was absolutely bang on the money. Our second trip, but most definitely not our last.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Do it! - take every opportunity. Definitely make time at the beginning/end to look around the markets in Bangalore & make sure you experience at least one trip in a tuc-tuc....3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Tourism is certainly a boost to the more rural locations/communities and the focus on wildlife/photography can only help in preserving the National Parks and Reserves4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Visiting Hampi was probably the highlight, but all of our destinations were memorable.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Sit back and enjoy. It couldn't get much better.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
India seems to be more aware of environmental issues than we are in the west. Plastic bags were not much in sight, recycling was a common practice and everywhere we saw signs warning against the impact of abuse to our planet. Overall our experience was extremely positive, and we look forward to our next visit.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Everything was well organised and coordinated, with a huge variety of experiences and places to visit. The train journeys were wonderful, and the local people that we met couldn't have been more welcoming and open. We do not eat any meat so the local food was always fantastic, whether it was from a stall on the street, a local restaurant or hotel.Holiday Reviews
