 Indian Travel Agent 
Mar 08, 2011, 9:28 PM


We wanted to plan a personalized tour of Northern India for myself and my wife. We looked into higher end packaged tours and found them prohibitively expensive. We thought that an Indian Travel Agent would be able to book our trip more efficiently. We found several references to Swadeshi Journeys of New Delhi (swadeshijourneys@vsnl.net) and contacted them by email. Bhaskar Pandit responded within 24 hours. We laid out our ideas for our trip and he was very helpful with suggestions that fit our plans and budget. After some back and forth, we settled on an itinerary that included Varanasi, Agra, Jaipur, Jaiselmer, Bikaner, Udaipur and the Ajanta Caves near Aurungabad. We wanted him to provide a car and driver as well as a local guide at each location. In addition, we wanted him to book all flights and train travel in India. The price he quoted for this seemed fair to us and the itinerary was highly customized for exactly what we wanted. Basically the trip - about 3 weeks in India - went without a hitch. We were picked up by drivers and guides at each location, all hotel bookings were at the level we had specified before the trip and all travel arrangements were excellent. Bhaskar called us several times during the trip to make sure everything was going well. We could have reached him by phone at any time if anything had gone badly, but really nothing did. We had a wonderful time throughout the trip and particularly enjoyed Varanasi, Rajastan and the Ajanta and Ellora caves.

Natale dell'anno scorso ho passato 20 giorni nel Sud dell'India. La vacanza bellissima e tutto sommato non molto cara considerando il periodo. Siamo stati in due e abbiamo speso intorno 2.500 Euro a persona tutto incluso. I biglietti aerei abbiamo comprato dall’Italia e tutto il resto (macchina con autista per tutto il tour, voli interni, alberghi, visite guidate) abbiamo prenotato con una agenzia indiana – Swadeshi Journeys. La consiglio a tutti. Sono molto affidabili. Bhaskar Pandit, Mob : 0091 – 9818314887, Swadeshi Journeys Pvt.

we just returned from a 38 day trip booked through Swadeshi
Journeys and they were GREAT. Bhaskar is very thorough, is easy to communicate with in planning your trip together via email, is totally responsive and available during the trip, has excellent cars and drivers and guides, and the price is fair. Because it is a small
agency you get very personalized attention. I highly recommend
them: swadeshijourneys@vsnl.net; swadeshijourneys@airtelmail.in

I definitely support seeing Orchha and Khajuraho. They are amazing places that I am so glad we had the chance to see. We went in June, and did the following route, similar to yours but without Rajasthan:
Day 1:Delhi
Day 2: Agra by car, stopping at Fatehpur Sikri on the way, (we only had time for the Taj Mahal, not Agra fort, but the Taj is worth a day in and of itself, just relaxing there)
Day 3:Jhansi by train, then 2 hour drive to Orchaah, where we saw amazing cenotaphs, people hanging out by the river, a beautiful palace, and the warmth of village hospitality
Day 4: overnight in Orchaah, and then drive to Khajuraho for about 3-4 hours.
Day 5: fly to Varanasi
Day 6: Varanasi (I didn't get to see much as I was quite sick the whole time, but my boyfriend spent the morning and almost the whole day at the ghats on the Ganges, which he loved)

Day 7: flight to Delhi
As you can see, we squeezed in a great deal in 1 week. I think you can add Rajasthan and still have time to see a great deal. Jaipur is easily accessible to and from Agra. We used a tour company that booked everything for us, making the planning very easy. Our guide in Orcha and Khajuraho was Umesh Dwivedi, They were booked through a company called Swadeshi Journeys, run by a Mr. Bhaskar Pandit. They organized everything beautifully and within our budget. Here is Bhaskar's e-mail: swadeshijourneys@vsnl.net

Hi Bhaskar,
First of all, thank you so much for the fabulous arrangement for our tour and your thoughtfulness all the way.  Wendy, Isabel and I are very happy with the program, the hotel choices and your company's service. 
1) Our driver has been an excellent company throughout our 10-day journey together.  His experience in the industry and knowledge of the sites complemented our tour guides' explanations very well and his presence in the chaotic/congested areas where we passed by have made us feel safe.  Though a man of few words, he is caring, gentle and has made our long journeys on the road enjoyable, fun and comfortable.
2) Our tour guide is very knowledgeable.  We especially love her opinionated stance on various issues, such as religion and history, and have enjoyed our intellectual exchanges.
3) I will definitely recommend your company to anyone traveling to India.  Will write on travel websites such as tripadvisor.com (where I found your referral) as soon as I get a chance.  I have heard many less-than-satisfactory travel stories to India and I am just glad that I can serve as a counter-argument.  India bears a huge significance for me since I am in the tea business, and a pleasant first encounter with the country has a long-term implication. 
Thank you again for your excellent service!  I wish you all the best and I certainly hope our paths will cross again very soon.
Yours sincerely, Andrea Chung, Singapore
