Indian Subcontinent Traveller Reviews - On The Go Tours

We had 2 days in Kathmandu which was busy and air pollution was a problem. 2 days were enough for me. We then went to Chitwan which was superb and we could have done with extra time to chill. We saw rhino, Sloth Bear Crocodiles Wild Boar etc. We loved Pokhara and the object of our trip was the opening of a new school on Amayot Jhioti which our Rotary Club had funded with a bequest from one of our members and a lot of fund raising in our club. The original school was almost destroyed in the last earthquake. We were delighted with the finished school and the welcome we were given. Our guide Bir was great and I think our group learned a lot from him and he did from us. I was slightly disabled after foot surgery and Bir was particularly helpful to me. Pokhara Midtown Rotary Club were welcoming to us and I think Bir was surprised at the International co operation between Rotary groups.”  

Tour guide was fantastic. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy and had what they needed. He was very informative and interesting. He was accomdating and made sure everyone was informed and comfortable with the elephant orphanage decision.

Highlights of the tour were the safaris, sigiriya, and polonnaruwa. ”  

The team in place in India are excellent . Pickup at the airport was prompt . Yusuf is an excellent tour leader and very knowledgeable.

Hotels varied in standard which we were aware of before we traveled . The only hotel which we felt was not acceptable was the mandawa haveli. The bed linen was clean but the bathroom was dirty with a disgusting white plastic shower curtain black with mould . The white towels were grey with stains . Also we were worried about the standard of electrics , loose plugs and a vey old electric fan as the only heater .

Apart from this one negative we felt the tour was excellent”
