The trip was meticulously planned and executed to perfection to suite our requirements of birding. Icing on the cake was birding while it was snowing. Our guide knew all the happening birding hotspots and the bird species and that was a great help. I was able to see some very exotic species that I had hoped for and some more. Got nice pics too. The tour operator even accommodated our last minute request to add a stop during the return leg. Perfect trip. I have already done 3 trips with this organisation and plan to do more. Just waiting for the pandemic to be over.

I have been going there for years now and every time its something different. The history may seem the focus but its the human touch that makes the difference.people matter be it a tourist or a poor begger. They all contribute to ur experience. It may be a good photo opp but more than that is experiencing the life the people and the stories. I tend to talk a lot so meet people and share their stories. Its inspiring to hear every day people sharing their lives. Please its not a tourist attraction its a place to share ur life and learn from others so open ur heart and mind and be honest. its a spiritual experience where u meet real people with problems victory stories or just a joke it takes all to make a whole life

Last March, we were planning to visit India second time with my sister and mother. I would like to arrange a tour with a good and reliable company, so I started to search tour companies at Tripadvisor. As you know sometimes comments can be misleading; so, I tried to read most of the comments and replies. Incredible Real India was most prefered company and it is not too hard to understand the reason. First of all Raju is very professional and experienced tour guide. Secondly, he always shares possible solutions for customer’s requests and never say ok for impossible things. This makes him and his company reliable. A week before our trip things were started to get worser because of pandemic. I was worried for my mother who was over 65 and tried to find some solutions. We decided to travel with my sister and rearrange our trip with help of Raju. He was very understanding. I canceled my mother’s flights and arrange our return flights again. Just 1.5 days before our travel it was announced not to travel abroad because of pandemic in my home country. All companies also warned their workers about risks and pandemic. We could not take risks and even it was too hard, we decided to cancel whole trip. I was so sad because i was dreaming this trip for months but nothing was important as health. I called Raju very late and explained the situation. He was very understanding again and explained his situation very clearly. Even he sent one of company’s driver to Delhi for us, he said he could cancel the trip and sent my deposit. I do not know how many people can do this. And that time I believe that Incredible Real India is most honest and best tour company. I requested Raju to keep my money for the next trip for this year. Unfortunately pandemic is getting worse and not possible to travel. I wrote Raju for deposit because of it was not certain when the things get back normal. He was so kind and sent my deposit in 2 days. I love India so much. I do not know the exact reason, maybe because of colors which make India so magical place, maybe because of people who knows to be happy in every situation and maybe it is really Incredible India but it touches my heart very deeply. After pandemic, I believe I will visit India several times with Incredible Real India and I know that even we haven’t meet with Raju yet I have a real family in India and thanks for this.
