I'm afraid it was that intangible mix of the group which happened by luck which made vacation, It could have been good without the right people, everything
was perfectly timetabled, but the enjoyment was from the singing on the overnight train, the complete bonding we had as a group. (more)Martin Strong

Probably the most exciting thing was seeing two tigers (on separate visits - one on the boat safari and one on a land safari) in Nagarhole National Park - astonishing.

There were many memorable moments - the scale and grandeur of the various palaces and forts with the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, and Jaipur standing out... The marble carvings at the Jainist temple at Rankapore were quite extraordinary.
