Hi - I did this trip in April - last one of the season as it gets too hot in late May. Absolutely amazing holiday - if you get our tour manager, Chris Anderson, you will be truly blessed. We had a brilliant group and the sights, sounds and smells of India were incredible. Have a look on the testimonial site for my review which I wrote on the last day in Delhi while I was still "under the influence"! Don't waste your money on malaria tablets - mosquitoes are not a problem! Ask your pharmacist to recommend something for the bacteria that lives in your stomach - that's what causes the "delhi belly", different bacteria. We were all so careful for the first few days that we became constipated! Take your spending money in sterling and change some of it at the airport (all the hotels will change sterling to rupees) but keep your receipt safe as you have to change it back before you leave. No rupees in the UK! And allow yourself enough for all the tips - at least £50 for the whole holiday (plus whatever you choose to give your tour manager). Most people spent about £400 on drinks, snacks and souvenirs but some went mad on jewellery, marble tables and carpets! And make sure that you have a decent sized hold all / overnight bag as when you're in Ranthambore they collect your luggage 20 hours before you're due to move on so you still have another evening / night and morning to wash and dress for - caught a few people unawares! But altogether a great experience and lots of wonderful memories – plus hundreds of photos and several videos!
