Superb experience right from the booking process to the actual day of the tour. The team was highly professional. Om Prakash, my tour guide was very patient with all the questions I threw at him and his knowledge of the history of the ashram was incredible. He went out of his way to make my visit a very comfortable and enjoyable one. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL

This was my first ever river rafting experience and I am glad that I choose to go with White World Expeditions. Courteous, informative and welcoming staff. I found out about them online and went in person to book my rafting for 10 KM, but after speaking to them for just few minutes I decided to go with 26 KM one for the next day first in the morning. I paid and left for the day. Next day morning there was a reminder call and when I reached on time everything was ready, the vehicle, the equipment and the guide who was going to take us through the rafting. Oh boy, it was a wonderful experience from the start, when we reached the spot two more participants joined me and total we were 3 with one guide and one additional guide following us on a Kayak. The vehicle dropped us and left to the end point. Our guide gave use the personal floating devices (PFD), a paddle and a dry bag. We were briefed about the techniques on how to hold the paddle, how to paddle, what are different call outs, how to respond, safety tips for about 20 mins and then we were asked to board on and start the rafting. It was overall an 3hr+ memorable rafting experience which I will remember for a very long time. The guide had a go pro and recorded during the rapids, over all we had about 13 different rapids. I without any second thought paid and took the video clips. Overall a great experience with White World Expeditions. I do not want to compare then with anyone else as I have not tried anyone else or even made an attempt to talk to anyone else before I booked rafting with White World Expeditions, my first interaction and experience were so good and I would definitely recommend this to any one looking for River Rafting in Rishikesh.

We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the Taj Mahal, picking up a guide en route. We had the most amazing experience. The guides brought the whole experience alive.. sharing the history of the buildings and the characters involved in their creation and their journeys through life. No question was left unanswered and we had such fun.. with aspects we would have missed if not for the guides intricate knowledge. It was, in summary, one of the most amazing days - the guides were great company, they were informative amidst spectacular scenery. What was not to love?

We had a fabulous experience with Rohit. The hike itself was very beautiful, challenging at times, but the view on top was worth every minute. Rohit was the best guide I could ask for! We were in a group of 5 with all different fitness levels and he took care of all of us very well. He was a delightful companion through the trip and had so many great stories and information to share.

We travelled in February 2020 just before the whole world went into corona lockdown. Our trip announced as multi adventure tour has fully fulfilled all the promises made upfront and much more. We took airplanes, buses, bikes, boats and also made a lot of walks - even this was a nice adventure. Specially at the three days biking through Rajasthans landscape we saw people living on the farms, working on their fields, a school from inside, marriages and much more. In the cities we saw many cultural highlights, all the colors of the markets and people and even had a lot of of fun with the nice group of people we travelled with. Sarah and her team from Chalo made these weeks to a wonderful experience - not only the tourists view was shown but also a view of the real life in India with all the nice things but not ignoring the problems and issues they have to deal with. It was our 2nd trip to India, and this trip was much better than the 1st one organized by another company (and we saw the tigers!). We would always book another trip with Sarah to experience new India adventures.

Akshardham temple is a must and foremost visit if u are out for Delhi sightseeing. The idol of Swaminarayan is something heavenly,one has to watch it with utter disbelief. I would highly recommend to attend the evening light and sound show. It depicts a story along with musical fountain show with laser lights. It takes around 30 mins to complete the show and tickets per adult is Rs.80/-. Visit the temple at afternoon time so u can take a tour of the temple, museum, souvenir shop, restaurant,garden n can also stay for the show.
