How can I book a tour to India? Is there a list of tours I can choose from? |
Ans. |

Or why can`t I do these trips on my own and (presumably) save money? |
Ans. |
One certainly requires alot of time, patience, money and should be willing to forgo some safety measures.
Time Factor: The traveller needs a permit to cross a border. He/She needs to find a suitable transport or travel by train or air
Patience: One needs a lot of patience as it can take hours and days of waiting in line, dealing with bureaucrats and triplicate forms, getting a taxi to the third office in a row that will send you to the fourth. |
