Dear Neeraj and Pankaj, do you know that you should warn people that they will never be the same after an Incredible Indian Moments Adventure? Kate and I are feeling so home sick for India and missing our lovely driver and friend Raj, and all of the beautiful places we have been so. It is kind of heart breaking having to return to Australia after having a taste of wonderful India. Thank you for opening our hearts and eyes to your special country. We will start saving our pennies so we can come back and see you soon.

Hi,
Many apologies for not being in touch sooner, I flew back to the UK and then went straight to London. I’m finally home and back to work tomorrow.
Stephen, Elliot and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday to India, and will in particular have fond memories of Mukundgarh and the outstanding hospitality you and your family (extended) showed. This made the whole experience very special.
As you know, our driver Akshay was like a friend, and I commend his professionalism.
The accommodation was stunning, and your help in this respect was much appreciated. Unfortunately the night in Udaipour coincided with a celebration in a mosque next to the hotel, which lasted until 3.30am (also confirmed by hotel staff) - we did complain to the hotel as maybe guests should of been forewarned and chosen alternative accommodation. This was all forgotten as the subsequent hotel in Mumbai was amazing.
Likewise the tour guide ms Naseem was incredible and by far the best. She listened to our particular interests and felt like she was enjoying being in our company, as much as we enjoyed being with her. This was refreshing, not to say that the other guides weren’t good company. They all understood my coffee cravings and eternal search for coffee shops! Overall an outstanding holiday which will be relayed to friends and family in the UK. Already I have been asked for your contact details.
Thank you once again and best wishes

Hi Neeraj,
We have just posted our feedback on Trip Advisor.
In addition to what we have put there, I would also like to provide you with some feedback on our guides and drivers.
Our guides, Chandan in Delhi and Pawan in Jodhpur, were excellent; whilst wanting to show us the cities they also asked what we wanted to do and see, and guided us accordingly. Both of our drivers, Ram Kumar in Delhi and Ratan Kumar during our tour of Rajasthan, were excellent. They were friendly, helpful and, most of all, very good drivers who made us feel very safe during our travels on the Indian roads.
I hope you find this helpful.
Kind regards,

We had a wonderful trip and are very grateful to you for making it so successful. We would particularly like to thank Akshay for all his advice, support and friendship during our trip and most particularly for his very high standard of safe driving throughout. Also Manoj for being in the background to make the necessary changes without any fuss which became necessary. Another great trip with Indian Moments. We look forward to our next Indian journey with you.

We have had an excellent tour of the Golden Triangle and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I was here previous in 1984 and 1993 and have enjoyed this trip even more. The hotels have been excellent and the freelance guides all very well informed and efficient. But above all Manoj and Ram have been outstanding. Their attention to detail and their willingness to answer all our many needs has been excellent. Particular mention must go to Ram our driver. We have felt safe and secure every time we have been with him. His driving and care had been excellent along with his entertaining humour. He is a engaging, sympathetic and a unique person. Hopefully we will meet him again if and when we return. So many thanks to you and your organisation, hopefully we will be back.
Kind regards

My husband, 4yr old son and myself have just returned from a 2.5 week trip of Nth India with Indian Moments. I am nothing short of changed as a human because of my experience in India - and the amazing team at Indian Moments had so much to do with that. We took a private tour completely furnished from beginning to end with them I am so grateful that we did. From the moment we arrived in Delhi (in the middle of the night no less) until the moment we left the country we were guided by the most professional, kind and caring people from their team. They truly feel like family! Akshay our driver was a water pond of peace within the car, that could thread the eye of a needle with his Toyota Innova. He was an absolute ninja on the chaotic roads of India. We have travelled a lot and I've feared for my life a number of times when being driven as a tourist - but not once did I worry about the safety of our family with Akshay. And his driving skill was just the beginning of what he offered on our journey. We are so grateful to him and will forever hold him dear in our heart. I was also really impressed with the guides they assigned in each city. Incredibly well educated, passionate and authentic locals proud to share their homes and the monuments of this nation of gigantic historical significance. I learnt SO MUCH! The Mukundgarh Haveli was possibly the highlight of our entire trip - and this was a trip that included spontaneous tears of joy at the Taj Mahal, Tiger sightings in Ranthambhore NP, Palaces, Sunset boat tours, romantic lakeside dinners, authentic yoga practice, rooftop meditations under the full moon and Maharaja level 5-star accomodation. So if you are offered the chance to visit Mukundgarh, do not pass it up. It's one thing for a tour company to do what they do well, but when our flight out of Delhi to return home was suddenly cancelled (no fault of IMs) that's when true colours can show. And IM responded as if we were family. Our driver (Raj just for that final leg) waited for hours at the airport with us while we sorted out an alternate flight and then we were promptly taken to the IM guest house in Delhi and treated to delicious home cooked meals for our "bonus" 24hrs in India. They genuinely cared and made sure we were not left in the lurch. That could have been a really stressful experience with a 4yr old, but it was actually quite exciting and a fun twist in what was an otherwise completely drama free journey of India! We are not a family that usually books with tour operators, and normally prefer self guided adventuring. But given the short amount of time we had and the fact we were taking our 4 yr old, we really wanted to ensure we got the most out of this glorious but sometimes chaotic country. And I am so so grateful that we did. IM honestly knew better than we did what we needed to truly enjoy our trip as a family. I am forever grateful and will always use them from now on when we return to India - which WE WILL!! Mother India has our heart and Indian Moments are our family. We love you so much xx Emma, Bobby and Indy. Special mention to Akshay, Manoj, Raj (delhi driver), Neeraj, Pankaj and his entire beautiful family, and the team at Mukungarh and Delhi guest house who so lovingly took care of us.

Dear Neeraj, Raj, and Manoj
We can’t thank you enough for everything each of you did to ensure that our vacation in India was as wonderful as possible. You exceeded our expectations in every way, and your kindness and thoughtfulness throughout our trip made us feel that we are now family with a lifetime connection to each other. We both arrived home without any problems, a bit tired from the long flights but filled with amazing memories of our time in your extraordinary country. I can’t imagine how we could have had a better time (with the exception of Sheila’s illness which only allowed Raj’s saintliness to prove to us that he is a truly unusual man of extraordinary compassion and ingenuity). You are all very special people and we will never forget you as we revisit our experience in India with our friends and family through the many memories we have of our time together. Our warmest regards to everyone at Indian Moments!

Hello Neeraj
It is Monday here in Memphis, Tennessee and I am still feeling the effects of the travel which is understandable. More important, I hope that I can retain the positive effects of the Lifetime Journey through parts of India, which you so skillfully and thoughtfully prepared for me. When I look back on it, the itinerary was well planned and a masterful cross section of places. 8 plane trips internally, and to locations as diverse as Nagaland and deep Kerala. I thank you and the Team so much, and cannot say enough good things about all. What you and Pankaj (please excuse my spelling) have built is admirable and impressive in many ways, and not strictly from a commercial standpoint.
In meantime, stay well and with So much appreciation again.
Sincerely, your
Yorke, USA Dec 2018 – Jan. 2019
Hello
Back home, I wanted to tell you how pleased we were with the organisation of our trip to India.
The hotels were all very nice (next time I won’t take a suite each time) and all the services you provided excellent. Akshay is a very good driver and much more than that: he explained us many things, always patient and present when necessary. Manoj too is really efficient and helpful when we asked for some information. The textile museum in Bhuj was a real jewel and I did not regret at all the « Calico Museum « We hope to go back of course, next year maybe.
The guide we had in Bhuj was very professional.
I hope you have many clients for the season.
With my best regards

Dearest Neeraj,
We wanted to Thank You from bottom of our hearts for helping to arrange a wonderful trip. We also loved our Driver——“Shafik”——-He was outstanding!! Keep hiring Him…….he is so warm, respectful, he has a good sense of humor and he is very very caring. Every other Hotel and destination was pretty perfect. Beginning with a wonderful guide in Kochi, we really loved every minute. We could easily live in Kochi or at the Lake Palace in Periyar, or on our Houseboat, or the Talayar Bungalow in Munnar and at our beautiful Hotel Niraamaya. And we got to see our Beautiful Meenakshi Temple——we had been waiting for 40 years!! What a trip……..
Hopefully you are well and Happy. Again, Neeraj, we Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.
Best regards,

In booking my latest trip to India (my first solo) I was looking for something different and more ‘off the beaten track’… once again Indian Moments triumphed and I spent two weeks visiting Orissa. From simple but beautiful homestays adjacent to a tribal village to the bustling temple city of Bhubaneshwar via the coast and into the jungle - it was perfect. The landscape is incredible and it is one of the only places I have visited where total silence (apart from the noises of the jungle creatures) is possible. Fewer travellers and tourists venture here currently and it was possible to observe daily rural and tribal village life and understand some of the concerns for that culture, important to have the company of a local guide who speaks the local dialect to get the best out of it. As always I left with a sense of unfinished business and a wish to visit this area again.
Best wishes

We had a wonderful time on our trip and will definitely recommend Indian Moments to our friends! What really made it special was how organized and coordinated everything was. A large part of our pleasant experience came down to Raj. He was always on time, kept us on time, and was extremely patient with all of the requests that we had. Also, he brought us to great, non-touristy spots for lunch, which is exactly what we were looking for. And his driving was absolutely amazing! The guides in Agra and Jaipur were our favorites, and they were extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly how to best tour each site. The haveli stay was very special, and it was a great experience to be out of a city and to have a chance to spend the night in a historical building.
Thank you so much for your help, and we look forward to visiting India again!
Emma & John, US (Oct, 2018)
We are home and fully recovered from our travels. I can not begin to tell you how satisfied Anna, Alessia and I were with the entire trip. Your attention to every detail was remarkable and most commendable. The hotels we stayed in exceed our expectations. The tours and guides you provide for us were outstanding.
I have previously comment on the exceptional service we received from Akshay and we can never thank him enough. Please convey to both Akshay and Manoj how very happy we were with their service.
Again, my most sincere thanks!
Fondly
