Feedback
Enjoyed every minute of the trip. Usually in most of the tours you get tired due to extensive travelling, but Yoga Tour in India is totally different experience. We get a fine chance to undergo extensive yoga classes.


If you are a first time traveller to India Trinetra tour will be a perfect option for you. Well organized trip and you get to see the highlights of Northern India. Visiting holy town of Rishikesh and Haridwar, trip to city of Taj, Agra, spending time at forts and monuments of Delhi and Jaipur was fabulous.


Trinetra looked after us brilliantly from the start of my tour and arranged air tickets, hotels etc. nicely. When met our guide at the hotel we realised that he had a great sense of humour. In addition to sightseeing trip shopping at lively markets of Delhi was a fascinating experience. I will remember this tour for longtime.
