1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Mum best souvenir: the colours from Taj Mahal, to the fort, palaces and street markets.
Dad best souvenir: both safaris in Ranthambore National Park
10 years old best souvenir: Ranthambore National Park (seeing a crocodile), Agra fort and Jaipur Water Palace.
8 years old best souvenir: Ranthambore National Park
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
We went in April and the weather was very hot. It was ok for us, but it was probably not the best season. Do not come with cash. You can pay with CB in many places and the guide will show the best ATM for withdrawing rupees.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes and no. We went to see local people doing craft. By buying them things we couldn't support the local community, but some things e.g. carpets or jewellery were very expensive. We travelled in a comfortable bus, but it was much bigger than what 10 persons needed. A smaller bus would have reduce our environmental impact. We've been given an awful amount of small water bottles. Having big bottles of water to fill our reusable water bottles would have been better. However, our guide and other people helping us were all from India and were very qualified. I also appreciated our guide mentioning that they were not supporting animal work, e.g. elephants transporting tourists in Jaipur.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
This trip is great for parents and children. It's stress free and full of beautiful places. Kids get to know the country and the guide is very attentive to their wellbeing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and review following your travels with us! We passionately believe that we have a responsibility to take consistent approach to environmentally and socially responsible travel. Businesses need to be part of solutions in this space.
As a part of our efforts to minimise carbon emissions on our trip we (not limited to):
o engaging locally owned and operated services, thus avoiding use of long, carbon-intensive supply chains
o use local public transport wherever possible, and particularly minimise the use of flights within itineraries, and
o include and encourage locally produced food and goods which reduces the energy consumed by production and transport of food and goods
For some destinations and itineraries it can be more difficult to implement these, for example - some local suppliers might rely on an income stream from selling plastic water bottles which makes it quite a complex issue. We appreciate the feedback that you feel we could do better in supporting local communities/businesses and also make some changes in relation to plastic water bottles. I have passed this feedback onto the relevant team.
I hope this helps highlight how important environmentally and socially responsible travel is to us.
In the same way, we are committed to animal welfare and actively discourage the participation of our travelers in any activities that exploit wild or domestic/working animals. In 2012, we supported an extensive research project into the welfare of captive elephants, in conjunction with World Animal Protection. In 2014, we banned elephant rides across all trips, and established a full policy regarding elephant welfare.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave this feedback, and we hope to see you travel with us again!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Taj Mahal, Amber Palace, Ranthambhore National Park.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Traveling in August is possible. The Monsoon did not affect us much. There are very few tourists and the countryside is green. Don't count on a good match
with other families.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
To the extent that one bought or consumed local products local people benefited. Our impact on the environment was negative (flights, local travel, bottled water, pools etc).
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
The key is the guide and our guide was just brilliant and made all the difference. The last two/three days could be improved. Sightseeing in Nawalgarth and
Aslisar was virtual identical and was short. There was not much else to do. These days felt like a slow return to Delhi. Without this small weakness I would
have rated the vacation five.
Responsible Travel

Planet
Responsible mission: As adventure travelers we relish and celebrate the diversity of the world. We also recognise our obligation to protect the environments that we explore. Our aim is to tread lightly, whilst contributing to maintain the world’s culture and nature, and most importantly to engage the help of all our customers to utilise the potential of tourism as a tool to aid sustainable development. We believe that responsible travelers are welcome in the places that they visit.Partnerships: As a company we support The Travel Foundation, a UK charity that has been established to promote responsible travel practises throughout the whole of the travel industry. We also work with a number of charity partners who work in the destinations that we visit; including Friends of Conservation and Born Free Foundation. We partner with many small grassroots projects throughout the destinations that we visit - they all share our responsible vision.
On this trip: We travel in small groups which has a minimal impact on the environment as we go. On this trip we use a local Indian agent, locally managed hotels and local leaders. Not only does this mean that more of the money we generate stays within the community, but their local knowledge and expertise helps us to better understand the environment in which we are traveling, whilst reinforcing within the local community that preserving this environment is both important and worthwhile.
People
Giving something back: We have a foundation that collects the funds that you donate to us to support our projects. All our customers are invited to make a donation to the foundation at the time of booking. We will match every contribution that you make.
