FEBRUARY 2004 We decided to go to India with a company called Tiger Trails. When we arrived to start our holiday we were pleased to see that there were only 4 of us. It was a well organised holiday. Our highlights. Staying and driving around Delhi was an eye opener and we would not want to drive ourselves as there was traffic and people everywhere.!! We went to two National Parks, Ranthambhore and Bandhavgarh. We were lucky to see quite a few beautiful tigers with fantastic markings. On one occasion we were the only vehicle (some sightings had masses of vans etc.) to see a tiger come out of the bushes with a kill. Our other highlight had to be going to the Taj Mahal, truly a wonder of the world, the Red Fort (Agra Fort) and the Amber Fort (with the elephant ride) at Jaipur. The Taj Mahal was just stunningly beautiful in the early morning.
Derek and Ann’s Travels in India
Breakfast at Marari sealap villas homestay
Southern India – Kerela. November 2019. After some discussion with our friends Dave and Gill we, at short notice, booked to spend 3 weeks in Kelera. We booked 4 nights at the beginning and 3 nights at the end of our trip, the rest was organised while we were there. Highlights of our great trip were: Staying at several different ‘Hometstays’. These are places where one has good rooms and the family give you breakfast and in most cases an evening meal. One tends to meet all the family and they help one to organise trips in the locality, just so helpful and friendly. One learns more about their culture than staying at a good hotel. Other highlights were the tea plantations, bamboo rafting , National Parks and cultural activities.. Luckily we had a driver for 2 weeks as the roads and driving were pretty horrendous.
