Popular holiday packages in India

Hello New Mon, Fine that you have contacted my husband again this afternoon. It's pleasant to hear that you care so much about us. Now, I can say to you that we all liked it a lot! We enjoyed visiting all cities, from Mandawa, over Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaipur, Pushkar, Agra till Delhi. We loved visiting all palaces, forts and of course, the top of the bill, the Taj Mahal, a building that everyone must have seen at least once in his life! We stayed in incredible hotels, really palaces!! Some of the those new, others old! But we enjoyed all of them! Also the guides were very good. Luckily that we took them, because with all those words in Hindi, all those streets were you can get lost, I understand now why it is so important to have them. They all gave good information about the city, but also background information about life in India, their habits, politics, nature, ... And , last but not least, we loved our driver. He brought us everywhere, during the 1800km, that we have driven. Unfortunately, roads are so bad in India, that it sometimes took a long time to get somewhere. Once again, thanks o lot! Best regards and maybe till later ...

Good Morning Newmon, It is now two weeks since we returned from our magical 34-day trip to Southern India, all organised, very professionally, by you. You were very attentive to our specific requests to develop a 'tailor made' itinerary and the beach holiday breaks allowed us to rest for a few days before continuing our journey. It all worked like clockwork. The car provided was spacious and the driver (Michael, shown in the picture taken on Ooty Lake) had good enough English and was very skilled, fun and helpful. All in all, we had a wonderful holiday and you, by your kind and attentive service (ringing us every day to check on our wellbeing!) made all the difference. We felt safe and well looked after throughout the trip. It was also a pleasure to have dinner with you when visiting Kochi. We would highly recommend your company to those who are looking for a more independent way to travel in India. We have just posted a review of our trip on 'Trip Advisor'.

We used Newmon at "The Indian Journeys» tour company for our 3 week no stop tour of India, which included Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Pushkar, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Kochi-Thekkady, Marari. He arranged all the hotels and transport, internal flights, the lot !!!! We had our own personal mini Van with our superb driver Pavan. At each stop we had a personal guide to tell us the history of the area and what we were seeing. There was no way we would have seen so much if Newmon had not organized our time so well. We have made lifelong friends on our journey, and would recommend Newmon to anyone, who wishes to as much of India as humanly possible in 3 weeks. Thanks again Newman, hope too see you soon.

We travelled to Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu for four weeks in January and February 2018. Newmon at The Indian Journeys had been recommended to us by a friend here in Bedfordshire. Since this was our first trip to India, we were unsure of the best way to travel between different places of interest, and the prospect of Newmon’s air-conditioned Toyota Innova with our own driver - from start to finish - seemed too good to pass up on … and so it proved. It took us about four weeks of emailing back and forth to finalise our itinerary: we listed what we wanted to see and do, Newmon suggested some ideas of his own and what we ended up with was a truly splendid, unforgettable holiday: from the exquisitely carved temples of Belur and Halebidu to the mini-safaris in the wildlife sanctuary at Kabini (where we saw both a tiger and a leopard, as well as elephants, various deer, wild dogs and dazzlingly coloured birds), from the famously illuminated palace at Mysuru to the Poinsettia-bordered tea plantations of Munnar, and onwards to ride on the renowned Ooty Hill Railway, from the peace and tranquillity of the backwaters around Aleppey to the r and r of the quiet Marari Beach and finally to the spice capital of Kochin, everything was a highlight! Our accommodation was always first-class (though, at our request, not always 5-star!) and spotless, with food of the highest quality, whether we were in boutique hotels, such as Kaav (in Kabini) and The Leaf (India’s No.1 on Trip Advisor, Munnar), or in homestays – Stephen & Manjula’s “home from home” at the Mysore B&B, as well as Jacob’s hospitality at Kuriallacherry House in Kumarakom. Everyone we met was charming and welcoming: village children keen to try out their English-speaking skills and drinking chai masala with the locals at sunrise in the backwaters will remain long in the memory. A massive thank you to Newmon for organising our holiday and for his regular evening phone calls to make sure everything was running smoothly for us, and thanks also to our knowledgeable & friendly driver, Praveen, for whom nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend Newmon & The Indian Journeys unreservedly…we shall be back!

Hi New Mon, Happy New Year! I owe you a long overdue note of thanks for our trip to Jaipur, Agra, and UP in November 2013. That was my fourth trip to India, and you made it by far the easiest. Things don't always run according to plan in India, but with your coordination we had no unpleasant surprises. We thoroughly enjoyed our guide Mr. Sharma in Jaipur, but the real star of our trip was our driver, Manoj. Not only an excellent driver, he was friendly, reliable, and always knew where he was going. (That last bit is extremely important - I've gotten lost in so many cities in India because of a lack of signage and/or addresses. The fact that it didn't happen while in his car was amazing.) Kudos to you and your team. On my next trip, New Mon & The Indian Journeys will be my first call!

What a wonderfully relaxing time New Mon (The Indian Journeys) organized for us in Kerala – starting at the friendly Kochi Fort House where we experienced amazing meals, the Chinese fishing nets and site seeing experiencing delightful tuk tuk rides. From here to the Deshadan Backwater Resort before an enchanting overnight’s stayed on a house boat where we purchased fish that the crew prepared for our dinner. Then to the Marari Pearl for 3 nights (where we were upgraded to a room with our own pool) which gave us just what we needed - relaxation. Here we were able to wonder on the beach and mix with the fisherman while taking in the local atmosphere. All in all a time we will never forget thanks to New Mon’s thoughtful organization.

Hi New Mon, Overall it was a good experience and I will certainly use your service should I be travelling to India.

Dear Newmon It is said that the destiny has planned everything for us. That was what I experienced when I travelled with you “The Indian journey” - ITJ. The only difference was that on tour to kerala “Gods Own Country” everything was planned by ever smiling Newmon. I had mailed my requirements to 4 to 5 tour operators from kerala. Everyone has responded except Newmon. I thought that he might just be catering to foreign tourist. Then after a month I got a call from him, he explained me that my mail had gone in SPAM folder & so he could not respond. After that first call I had a hunch that we are going to travel with his tour company only. The hotels that he recommended & tour cost vis-à-vis the 3, 4 & 5 star properties that he had suggested was the least of all the travel agent that I had contacted. The price difference was nearly 10 to 15%. Initially 14 of us were going to travel together but due to some issues the group was reduced to 10 but just 3 to 4 days prior to our reaching at kerala the group had again increased to 14. He made all the required changes at eleventh hour. He arranged the additional room at all the thotel/resorts, bigger traveler for us, arranged can of water, removed the last row seats of traveler & so on… The tour guide & driver Abdul Gafoor provided by ITJ was also a gem of a person. Some of the hotel/resorts recommendation from him were just spot on like…. 1. *** -The Seashore at Kanyakumari 2. **** - Travancore Heritage at Kovalam 3. **** -The leaf at Munnar ( got free upgrade rooms) 4. ***** - Elephant Court at Thekkady I would also like to add that the one at Kochin (Abaam - ***) & Alleppy (Deshadran -***) was just below par but the latter one was my own choice. He had suggested me Citrus which I think would have been much better choice. Some of his recommendations were not on our list but we relied on his local knowledge & all those recommendations were above our expectation. The most important factor that made such a lot impact on us was the fact that he took 80% of the total tour cost on the last day on our way to Airport. I had not seen such a travel agency who totally believes in their work. He did not knew us, just a few calls & mails. I think it can be done only by Newmon & ITJ Again a lot of thanks to Newmon for making our tour to “Gods Own Country” a memorable one…

Dear Newmon A few months ago I read in your web "Athithi Devo Bhava" (The guest is equivalent to God) and although I knew through a person who offers me all the guarantees, I thought, we'll see what happens. Yesterday we arrived in Spain after eleven unforgettable days in the south of India and, indeed, we have been treated as gods. Personal attention, professionalism, efficiency, perfect hotel, suitable guides, and Yomi, our super-conductor, always attentive, aware of everything, and breaking through without any problem through the traffic so special that exist in India. Our thanks to you, Newmon, for your professionalism and attention, for your calls during the trip to see if everything was OK. Obviously you always recommend you to high punctuation and wish that all your dreams they fulfill in that magnificent company you started.

Our trip to south India was very well managed and supported by Mr. Newmon KD. The driver he choosed for us (Mr. Murali, kn_muralidharan@....) was also very efficient and qualified for his job, as well the local guides we met. On he other hand, hotels were not only confortable, even luxurios, but charming.
