1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Meeting local people!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Just go for it. It was brilliant. No need for anything special or to overthink it.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, it did benefit the local people because we spent money on hotels, food, snacks, gifts etc They also felt good because we were visiting their country and we spent a lot of time talking to them. I don't believe it reduced environmental impact or supported conservation but equally i don't think it did any harm. It is very difficult to help environmental education or causes without money or talking to people and our visit probably helped on both of these fronts.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent, strongly recommend to anyone thinking of going!Bob Stunt review 6 Mar 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The experience of cycling through rural India, meeting and reacting with the local people. Even a local police sergeant bought us all breakfast when we met him one morning.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
A reasonable standard of fitness is required. We were a group of 9 men with ages ranging from 54yrs to 67yrs. Take a good pair of padded cycle shorts.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We stayed at lovely boutique hotels and staff were employed from the local area. Also used local roadside stalls for lunch and snacks on journey. Cycling does not damage the environment.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
An amazing experience, backed up by very able, proffesional and attentive team.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
