India's Golden Triangle, a few days in Delhi + up North near Kashmir.

So, I decided to move to Germany! After 11 months of doing long distance with my boyfriend (who is from Germany), we decided, like most other people in a relationship, it would be nice to be in the same country. Logically, me being an Irish and Australian dual citizen and therefore not needing a visa to work or live in the EU, it was easier for me to be the one to move first.

SO...WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH INDIA?!?!

Well, travelling to Europe from Australia is a bloody long way and you more than likely have to stopover somewhere (unless you take that no stop flight from Perth to London...17 hours straight on a plane..no thank you!). So, I decided I would make the most of my stopover and explore a new country.

After consulting my friend, Camila, who you might know from my trip to China, and who was keen to come on an adventure because she would be on school holidays (she is a teacher), we decided on India. Checking tours, we found a Golden Triangle tour with Intrepid that suited our dates and budget, plus it would also allow us time to visit our mutual friend in Pathankot (in the North of India) after the tour.

Day 1 - Our first day in Delhi

Arriving at 5.50am, it took almost 2 hours to get out of the airport. The lines for customs are very long and it takes quite a while because the customs officers ask quite a lot of questions, take your photo and your fingerprints. So, be prepared to wait in customs when travelling into Delhi airport.

Finally through, we grabbed our bags and we were exited to find a man with an Intrepid logo on a sign. He checked our names and took us to our driver. I was surprised by the speed our driver zipped in and out of the traffic and the amount he used his horn! But, it seemed like from the continuation of beeping, this was normality in India. The streets were a sort of choreographed chaos, so, after I checked my seatbelt was on tight, I sat back and soaked up the business of Delhi as it rushed by.

We arrived at our hotel and they were able to check us in straight away. We went in search for breakfast, the streets were very quiet, which I found odd as you are always told that India is so crowded. It was also very cold, we knew it would be winter while we were there, but we didn't expect it to be 5 degrees. We had our breakfast of samosas and a paneer (cheese) pastry with an array of spicy sauces at a place called Bikanervala. Eating spicy food for breakfast is something I would have to start getting my head around.

Back at our hotel, we broke my 'first day in a new time zone rule' and had a nap. I usually don't do this as I like to try and stay up at least until 8pm to get accustomed to the new time zone. However, as we arrived so early, and we were so cold, we decided a short nap under the blankets couldn't hurt. It was freezing in the room, so I napped in my big (similar to a walking sleeping bag) jacket.

It was still cold but I managed a 30 minute nap, after which I decided a warm shower to heat up would be great. Unfortunately, when I turned the shower on, the water was like ice, even with just the hot tap on. I went to reception to tell them the hot water wasn't working, they said they were having issues with the hot water and if it was not fixed tonight, he would bring me a bucket in the morning.

I then spoke to Camilla and we decided to check if the hotel, Pooja Palace, we would be staying at the following night had hot water, they did. So, we decided to check out and move hotels. As we carted our suitcases (I had two very heavy ones because of my move) across the uneven streets of Delhi, we realised that Delhi doesn't come alive until after 10am. The difference in the amount of people, cars, rickshaws and dogs on the street compared to when we were last outside was crazy.

After settling into our new room, this one with the promise of hot water and a room not as cold as a freezer, we went back to the same place we had breakfast for lunch, this time upstairs to the restaurant area. We shared a sharing platter and were quite impressed by all of the different tastes.

We then went to walk to a park, well that's what it looked like it was on our map. While crossing the very busy road, a guy asked where we were going, we said to the park and he said, 'that is not a park, that side is a tuk tuk showroom and that side is nothing for ladies'. So, with his advice, we took the nearest metro to Connaught Place, the main centre of Delhi. Navigating the metro proved to be quite easy, I feel like once you have used one, it is easy enough to use them all.

Once at Connaught place we walked around and looked at all of the shops, street hawkers and generally all the people around, it really was an experience just wondering around. We walked through the park in the centre where people and dogs alike were relaxing. The air quality was forecasted as hazardous, so we opted to wear face masks. You can see the smog in the air in this photo here.

We ventured out for dinner to a place called 'Kitchen with a Cause'. This place was established by hiring young adults from the slums and giving them an opportunity to train in hospitality. We had the house special Dal Makhani Dhungari and Aloo Gobi Adraki (potato and cauliflower dish) accompanied by rice and a naan. Both were delicious and the meals were very generous portions. With full bellies, we went back to our hotel, enjoyed hot showers and feel asleep pretty quickly.

Tip: The area our hotel was in is called Karol Bagh, a great place to stay in Delhi. It is close to a big shopping street, the metro and a wide variety of restaurants.

Day 2 - Learning to cook Indian Food

Today we had a cooking class booked at a place called Tastesutra. Camilla had booked it for us as my birthday present and I was very excited about it.

To get there, we jumped on the metro, changing once to another line. It was then that we discovered that the first carriage of all metro trains are reserved for women only and they have a bright pink sign indicating this at all stations. From the metro stop, our cooking school was only a short walk away and we were greeted by our friendly teacher on our arrival.

We were given chef hats and aprons as she gave us a very informative talk about the different spices they use in India and explained that once you know what each spice is for eg. sweet, salty, heat, smokey flavours, then you would know how to use them properly. She also explained that Indian restaurants use a lot of cream in their sauces and if they cooked like that at home, they would be very unhealthy and overweight people. So, the recipes that she showed us where ones she cooks at home.

We started off with making some deliciously fragrant chai, then followed by pakora. This is a lentil flour-based tempura with onions (our teacher told us that they only get red onions in India), spinach and spices mixed into it and then deep fried. You can put all different types of things in a pakora, it's up to you!

Next up was a chicken curry, Jeera Aloo (a spiced potato dish that our teacher called 'bachelor potatoes', because they are so easy to make), Paneer Lababdar (a solid cottage cheese with the consistency of tofu, in a cream free butter chicken sauce) and roti. Everyone had a go at cooking parts of the meal and at the end we all sat down for the amazing feast we had created.

I would highly recommend doing a cooking class at Tastesutra while in Delhi, it is a fun experience and the chef even emails you the recipes of the food you cook, plus more!

Seeing as we were in the area, we took the metro one stop further and went to the Lotus Temple. You can walk around the gardens in your shoes, but to go inside the temple, you have to take your shoes off and hand them in. The system is very easy, you just put your shoes in one of their bags, hand the bag in and get a token. Then when you leave you give your token and get your bag and your shoes back.

We were in luck, as there was a prayer ceremony happening when we arrived, so we were able to sit there and listen to the beautiful singing that echoed throughout the amazingly structured marble ceiling.

After navigating our way back to our hotel, we then had our welcome meeting for our Intrepid tour. Here we met our tour leader, Pooja and the rest of our group. We made up a group of ten, 7 from Australia, 2 from England 1 from France. After all of the tour information was given, we headed out for a group dinner and ended up at the same place we had dinner the night before, 'Kitchen with a Cause'. We ordered the same thing, although it proved to be a lot spicier this time round and I had to order a mango lassi to cool down.

Day 3 - Exploring Old Delhi

Today started with an early (by Indian standards) breakfast at a local café, it was 7.30am. We got a tasting platter again, which was a very interesting array of flavours on our plate, from sweet to savoury.

We then headed out, with our group, to the metro and caught it to Chandigarh Chowk, the centre of Old Delhi. Once there we hopped on a rickshaw to Delhi’s oldest mosque, Jama Masjid. Entry is free here, but you do have to pay for a photography pass. It is approximately 400 Rupee ($4AUD). We just bought one and Camila and I shared the photographs. It is a very impressive building and worth having a wonder around.

We then went for a walk around Old Delhi. As it was a Sunday and a lot of things were closed, it was quite empty and possible to walk around the alleyways and backstreets that make up Old Delhi. I can't imagine the struggle it would have been to walk through some of the small alleyways when everything would have been open. I took a lot of photos in the intriguing, colourful, chaotic streets. Everywhere I turned seemed like a great photo opportunity. Lucky we had a guide leading us otherwise I could have gotten lost in the labyrinth of Old Delhi.

Our last stop with our group today was to one of Delhi's most prominent Sikh Temples, Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib. Here, after checking our shoes in to the holding area, covering our heads and walking barefoot on the freezing cold marble outside the temple, we were relieved to enter the carpeted temple. The sound of singing prayer hit us as we entered. It was being played live at high volume (sound systems seem to only have a high setting in India) as followers prayed and gave worship. It was nice to sit there, on the ground with the music filling our thoughts.

Our tour leader arranged for us to be able to check out the temple's kitchen. Here people volunteer to make large quantities of donated food to help feed anyone who came to the temple. Camilla joined in on making some roti, but I declined after my failed attempts in the cooking class yesterday.

It was incredible to see people from all walks of life sitting, cross legged on the ground and sharing a meal. Our tour leader told us that this occurs in all Sikh temples. It was really lovely to see how giving the Sikh community is and I would recommend visiting this temple while in Delhi.

With the afternoon to ourselves, we wondered around the streets of Karol Bagh and had a look at the shops. At one point we delved deep into an indoor electronics market, with multitudes of stores under the one roof, all seemly competing with similar products. It was very full on, with lights flashing and people everywhere.

We ended up at the place next to 'Kitchen with a Cause' for dinner this evening. It is called 'Aroma Spice', and this time we tried a spinach paneer dish, which I thought was delicious. Portion sizes here were also very big and one dish with rice and naan or roti were big enough for two people.

Day 4 - Discovering the Pink City of Jaipur

This morning, we said goodbye to Delhi and hit the road to Jaipur. The smog combined with the early morning fog was horrendous, we couldn't even see a meter in front of our bus!

So, our driver did an incredible job getting us through it safely. The weather being the way it was and the lack of sun shine, made for a very cold bus ride and soon proved that the majority of our tour members did not pack enough clothing for the cold mornings.

Wrapped in my sleeping bag jacket, I, as I usually do on long journeys, promptly fell asleep. I awoke a few hours later, the fog cleared and the sun shining through the windows. The bus had now turned from a freezer into a hot box!

We arrived in Jaipur after about 6 hours on the road. The trip usually takes around 5 hours, however, with the weather playing a factor that morning, we were lucky to have made it in 6. Driving into the city of Jaipur, passing one terracotta pink coloured building after another, you can immediately see why it is called the 'Pink City'.

But, why pink? Well, it all began in 1876, when Prince Albert of the United Kingdom was sent to India on royal duties. This excited the Maharaja (ruler) of Jaipur, Ram Singh, greatly and he wanted Prince Albert to visit his city. So, Maharaja Ram Singh constructed a lavish concert hall and named it Albert Hall in his honour. This secured the Prince's interest in visiting Jaipur and meant that Maharaja Ram Singh had to get his city ready for a royal visit.

To beautify his city and also make it welcoming for the Prince he chose to use pink (traditionally known as a colour of welcome and hospitality), to repaint the whole city. It was a successful visit with the Prince and in 1877, from influence of his favourite wives (yes, he had multiple...and concubines!) who loved the colour pink, Maharaja Ram Singh passed a law that all building had to be painted the now known colour, 'Jaipur Pink'.

Once we checked into our hotel, we then set off for a walk down one of the main streets in the city centre. There was so much going on, the streets were alive with people selling their goods, people whizzing in and out of traffic on all different types of transportation, kids flying kites from the roof tops and cows wandering down the street. The pink of this city, combined with the traditional dress of the locals, the baskets of spices, various vegetables and fruits for sale, make Jaipur one of the most colourful cities in India! If it wasn't for us following our tour leader, again, I could have spent hours taking photos and probably have gotten very lost.

At a very chaotic roundabout, our tour leader managed to get the priest of a Hindu Temple (that sits above the round about) to let us go up there before he opened it for the afternoon prayers. Once upstairs, we were treated to a bird's eye view of the roundabout and neighbouring streets. Watching the chaos of the movement below was sort of mesmerising, the continuous beeping horns, our soundtrack.

The Hindu temple was quite small and the priest blessed us with a red mark on our forehead to ward off the evil eye. There were also baboons up there, who were being fed bananas by locals. They were really fun to watch as they played and fought over the bananas.

As the sun started to set for the day, we continued our walk down another of Jaipur's busy streets until we got to the cinema. Our tour leader had pre-booked tickets for us online, and if you are thinking of seeing a Bollywood movie while in India, I would recommend doing the same. It is very popular! She also told us the plot of the movie, so it was easy enough for us to follow along. To be honest if she hadn't told us the plot, between the theatrics of a Bollywood movie, some words in English and the reactions that come from the audience, I think we could have figured it out. The crowd applauded, yelled, laughed out loud and even wolf whistled at the screen. That combined with samosas as your movie snack, definitely makes seeing a Bollywood movie a great experience while in India.

Day 5 - More Pink in Jaipur & Amber Fort

A visit to the Pink City would not be complete without taking some snaps at Hawa Mahal or as it is also known the 'Palace of Winds'. Built in 1799, this gorgeous facade, with its multitude of windows, was an extension of the palace and allowed the women of royal families, who were never allowed to be in public, to get a glimpse into everyday life in Jaipur. It is crazy to think that, although the ladies surely had it pretty sweet inside the palace, they never actually got to see the beauty of the outside of the Hawa Mahal.

Tip: We visited around 8am in the morning which is a great time to go as there are less people around. We drove past later in the day and it was hectic around there.

About a 30 minute drive from the centre of Jaipur is Amer, here, you will find the stunning, hilltop, architectural work that makes up the UNESCO World Heritage site, Amber Fort. Overlooking the Maota Lake, it really is quite a stunning sight, and definitely a must see when in Jaipur. After being dropped off by our bus driver in the chaos of the street below the Fort, I would suggest an organised tour or local transport is the best way to get here. It looked like parking would be very difficult.

The walk up to the Fort is fairly steep, although quite achievable and it also allows you to see some great views along the way. You will see that Elephant rides up the hill are also an option, however, as the elephants are made to walk up and down the hill, several times a day, with passengers, Intrepid (as part of their responsible travel outlook) discourages the elephant rides.

Once up at the main entrance, we were met by our local guide who took us through the four levels that make up Amber Fort. He told us some great stories about the Fort and its inhabitants as we walked through. One of the things that stuck with me, was when he showed us where the maze was that the wives and concubines of Raja Man Singh I, the ruler of Amer, would run through to compete for a night with him!

We also got to see Sheesh Mahal, also called the 'Hall of Mirrors', which is quite literally that, a hall filled with small mosaic mirrors and coloured glass that create a beautiful pattern across the walls and ceiling.

Tip: A guide is recommended, unless you are happy to just wander around, as there is no information signs within the Fort.

This afternoon we had time to explore the City Palace, the entrance price is 500INR (approx. $10AUD/$7.50 USD). It is worth the entrance fee to wander around the site and take in its beauty, colour and elaborate doors and archways. We spent about an hour and a half here and then took a terrifyingly, hands clenched to seat, cows, trucks, cars, bikes and pedestrians on either side of us, tuk tuk ride back to our hotel. Definitely an exciting way to get around Jaipur!

Day 6 - A Royal Stay and Meeting the Locals of Karauli

Today we did approximately 5-6 hours on the road out to Karauli. Founded in 1348, this small town offered us a fantastic experience from the moment we arrived at our hotel, Bhanwar Vilas Palace. This unique hotel is a converted royal household and still has a lot of the original artwork and furnishings. We were told that every room would be different in size as some were that of the King and Queen, their children and others were concubine rooms.

Our tour leader told us that there are many buildings like this all over India because before India's independence in 1947, the country had 555 princely states. After independence, these states were broken down or merged together and the ownership of many of the royal assets continues to be a friction between the state and the respective families. A number of the families were able to keep living on their estates by converting them into hotels. We even met a member of the family when we were there, he was just in the courtyard enjoying a drink in the sun and was very happy to have us there. After a walk around the estate and meeting some of the livestock and workers, we decided to follow his lead and soak up some of the sun in the court yard. A local lady from the village offered to give us a henna tattoo for a very small price. Camilla and I each got one and I must say, the intricate designs that they draw freehand with henna is just gorgeous.

We then went for a walk through the town itself and met some of the lovely locals going about their everyday business. We meet some gorgeous children who were showing off their puppies, a man making delicious Chai, market stall owners and there was even a parade through the streets as the town made their way to the Hare Krishna temple for their daily prayers. After leaving our shoes outside, we also went into the temple and soaked in the joy and happiness that the town's people emitted as they chanted the Hare Krishna Mantra. That night we had a lovely banquet of local dishes at the main dining table which was beautifully decorated with candles and all.

Day 7 - Ticking off one of the 7 Wonders of the World at Agra

There was an air of excitement on the bus ride this morning as we headed to the most anticipated part of our tour, Agra, the home of one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal. On our way there we stopped at the mosque Fatehpur Sikri, which is a mix of Persian and Hindu design. It is very stunning but I think everyone was too excited about getting to the Taj Mahal that we did not give this place the appreciation that it deserved.

Although the tour is definitely well planned as the stop here is intentional so that you are at the Taj Mahal in time to explore around and also witness the beauty of a spectacular sunset, something that makes the experience just that little bit more special. So, hats off to Intrepid for the planning here!

Once we arrived in Agra, we got off the bus and took one of the electric shuttles to the main entrance of the Taj Mahal. They have set up a 10,400-square-kilometre (4,000 sq mi) area around the Taj to protect it from pollution and once there, you can really see the difference it makes in the air quality and visibility of the sky.

We met our guide who gave us our shoe covers (essentially shower caps for your feet), a bottle of water and two tokens. He explained that one is to get in and one is to get out, so make sure to keep it in a safe place, because if you don't have it when you leave, you would have to pay the entrance fee again. So, with that safely in our bags, we headed in.

Nothing can prepare you for the sheer magnitude of the Taj Mahal, even as you enter in the complex, the outer buildings will take your breath away. Then you pass through an archway and you're knocked back again while taking in all of its 73 meters (239.5 feet).

Our guide gave us plenty of time to take photos and then ushered us off to the side where he told us the story of why the Taj Mahal was built in the 1640s. I had heard bits and pieces before, but I won't spoil it as it is great to hear the whole story while you are standing there. We then had time to ourselves and Camilla and I wondered through the gardens and, I must admit, took a million photos on our way to the Taj Mahal itself. We then put on the shower caps on our shoes and lined up to go in. I must say, you have to go in, just to say you have been inside the Taj Mahal, however the inside is nowhere near as impressive as the outside. There is an inner doom and the roof is only as high as that, so it feels quite small when you are inside.

Once outside again we took another million photos and watched as the sun slipped away and the sky lit up with beautiful yellows, oranges and reds, setting a magnificent backdrop as you realise just why it is called one of the 7 wonders of the world!

Day 8 - That fort in Agra and then back to Delhi

If you are going all the way to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, please make sure that you also visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Agra Fort. Designed in 1565, the fort, as its name suggests was originally a military structure and was definitely built to keep away intruders, with two moats, one filled with water and crocodiles, then a second dry moat with roaming tigers. Then they also had cannons and guns and, if you somehow managed to survive all of that, there was a ramp that they could send boulders or pour down large vats of hot oil. No wonder it took around 90 years to complete!

It was later converted to a palace during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan and offers an awesome view of the Taj Mahal. Make sure you get a guide here as it is worth it to hear the story of this fantastic fort and you will even find out how it ended up going from the palace of the Emperor to his prison. There are also many monkeys here which roam around freely.

We then jumped back on our bus for the 4-5 hour drive back to Delhi. On our way we stopped at a rug making place. I was sceptical and thought that this might be one of those places that tours take you just to make you buy something and, although, it was a little like that, I was surprisingly impressed by this handmade carpet knotting demonstration where it is so intricate that they only complete about 1-1.5cm a day, taking 6 months to complete a large rug, no wonder they are so expensive! I also learned that the wool comes from Australia and New Zealand and they either use vegetable or chemical dyes.

Day 9 - A Street Tour to get off the Streets, a Mouth-Watering Lunch and Epic Street Art

We said our farewells to most of our group and then persuaded those that had the day free, to come on a walking tour with us. This is an English walking tour that goes for 2 hours and is organised by Salaam Baalak Trust. The tours are guided by young adolescents that used to live on the street before they joined the trust.

From food being prepared on the street, kerbside haircuts, pottery on the corner, ironing outside, the streets of Delhi are alive with people going about their day-to-day business and this tour really shows you what daily life in Delhi is all about. At the end of the tour, we visited the Trust itself where we got to interact with the children there who were in the middle of a lesson. The Salaam Baalak Trust feeds, educates and houses children that have been on the streets and encourages them to be the best they can be and realise that they have a future. Our tour was guided by Dev, who's story moved us and it was truly incredible to see where he is today considering what he had endured.

From a recommendation from our cooking teacher, we tried a restaurant near Connaught Place in the centre of Delhi called Fazi Cafe for lunch. It is a bit pricey compared to normal food prices in India, but it was well worth it and not much different to prices we pay for a meal out in Australia. They serve Indian food with a modern twist, and each bite was a taste explosion for the taste buds! I highly recommend if you are in the area to have lunch or dinner here. We were able to get a table for lunch even without a booking, but I would recommend booking as it seems to get busy fast.

After lunch we had a quick, energy restoring, nap back at the hotel and then ventured on the metro to an area called Lodhi Colony. I had read up about Lodhi Colony and really wanted to check it out as it was one of India's first public art districts and I am a huge fan of street art. We walked from JNL Stadium metro station and at first, we had trouble finding any of the street art, we must have taken the wrong street, but then, with a little help from Google Maps, we turned down a street and from there it was street after street filled with massive murals. We also found a little cafe, called Elma's, on Fifth Avenue Road which looked super cute and we stopped there for afternoon tea. It is very westernised, so it allowed us to have a little break from the spiciness we had been having up until now, which I think was well earned after over a week of spice. They even had avocado on toast and high tea on the menu!!

Anyway, if you are planning on a visit to see the beautiful street art in Lodhi Colony, I would recommend walking straight from the JNL Stadium metro to Elma's which is approx. 13 min walk. This way you can branch off to all the streets off Fifth Avenue Road which is where you'll find the majority of the murals. There is one or a few per street, so wear your walking shoes if you want to see them all.

Day 10 - A must see UNESCO World Heritage Site

Approximately 30km outside of Delhi, (an hour and 20 mins on public transport) you will find the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Qutub Minar. We look the metro from Karol Bagh to Qutub Minar metro station and walked from there. It is a 20-minute walk down along a very busy main road but there is a footpath the whole way. You can also take a local bus which takes about 12 minutes or there are many tuk tuks waiting for passengers outside the metro station.

Standing at 72.5m, 50cm less than the Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar is the tallest minaret in the world built of bricks. This is a very impressive piece of architecture and it is well worth a visit to see it and the surrounding area which is filled with ruins of monuments that date back to the 13th century. We spent a few hours here, lining up for tickets and walking around and exploring the site. So, if you are planning on going here, make sure you build it in as a half to full day trip.

Day 11/12 - A trip up North to Pathankot and a visit to McLeod Ganj

Today we set off to visit our friend T! Back in 2011, Camilla and I worked together in a bar and T was the security guard there. Originally from India, T was in Australia for a few years before returning back to his home town of Pathankot. As it had been 9 years since we saw this awesome guy, we felt it only fitting to re-enact this photo

It was fantastic to visit T in his home town and meet his extremely welcoming and lovely family. His mum made the most delish food for us and I would have to say the best Chai I tasted throughout our whole trip. Together with his cousin SJ, they showed us around Pathankot.

The next day we took a drive out to McLeod Ganj which is very close to Kashmir and the Himalayas. It was a long and windy road up the mountain but the scenery was beautiful and we passed through some really cute little villages.

At McLeod Ganj, we visited the Dalai Lama's Temple, spun the prayer wheels and had some delicious dumplings at a Nepalese restaurant. It was a wonderful trip seeing our old friend and meeting his family, but also really nice to see a different part of India that was that little bit quieter and slower paced.

Day 13 - We bid India Farewell

As we both needed to be at the airport reasonably earlier for our flights the next day and we didn't get back to Delhi until 5pm, we stayed at the Holiday Inn near the airport. It was very modern and had restaurants within, great shower and heating. I would recommend staying here if you too have an early morning flight, it saves the stress of getting to the airport through unpredictable traffic.

India in December/January - Bring warm clothing!

The weather at the end of December and start of January is really cold. We had a high of 12 degrees most days, but that would be in the peak in the afternoon and only last for about 2 hours. The majority of the days was around 5 degrees and at night 0-1.

The thing that makes it feel even colder is that the majority of the hotels (unless you go for 5 stars) are not heated. So, after a day exploring in the cold, you can't even escape it when you are back at your hotel. Most hotels also only have the hot water (if they have it) on at specific times, so make sure you find out when that is and test your shower before taking your clothes off!

Review on Intrepid

This was my second trip with Intrepid and they did not disappoint. From a fantastic, personable and friendly tour leader to great accommodation choices to making you feel comfortable and safe in a new country. Intrepid do a great job in filling trips with the usual and popular sightseeing spots, as well as, off the beaten track and lesser known places. They also create unique experiences with locals and allow you to learn about the country you are visiting.

I'll leave you here with a few photos of the vibrant colours and wonderful people of India.
