Welcome to Planet India !!

India

has always welcomed and intrigued the travelers. India is whatever you want it to be, but never what you expect it to be. This seemingly nonsensical paradox is just another in a nation of paradoxes. It is a nation that is Incredibly Lush Green and blazingly Arid, A Nation which Plasters its walls with cow-dung and its Roof with Satellites dishes, A Nation which values Spiritualism above everything, but It is barely followed in general Indian Man's life. It is a nation of World Famous Cities, where everyone lives in villages; such is the diversity of India that one cannot remain untouched by its Character.

India has something to offer to every kind of traveler, From the Legacy of Maharajas and The Raj, Krishna, Buddha, Shah Jahan, Gandhi and Mother Teresa, saffron, Silk and Spices, Magnificent Muslim Monuments and Ancient Hindu Shrines, Erotic temple Carvings and sensuous Odyssey Dancers. From Towering Himalayan Mountains and Luxuriant Southern Beaches and resorts. Islands of Andaman Nicobar and Lakshadweep, Plains of Ganges and Plateau of Deccan.

It is difficult to fathom how ancient Buddhists, Hindus and other devout sects were able to achieve such amazing marvels as Ajanta & Ellora, Khajuraho and countless others.

The world Famous Ayurvedic therapies, yoga and Meditation have brought accolades to India from all parts of the worlds.

Throughout the trip we were accompanied by Mr. Manish, big man, with an excellent cultural preparation, with a great sensitivity and attention, these skills that have really made a difference and that made this trip unforgettable.

lways remember even if you leave india,' India will not ever leave you "... with these words saluted our tour escort, Manish, at the end of a nice trip organized

by My tour adviser that I shared with two of my special friends . Only at my return in Italy I understood the meaning of those words ... The trip to India, is an 'experience that engages you in 360 °, an immersion in colors, smiles, emotions, traditions of a land that enters the heart and do not go. I have to say that I could not have found better organization for this trip, The tour was planned with precision before departure and was enhanced by many pleasant and surprising " Extras" that our guide, Manish, has proposed on daily basis, Hotels were always clean and comfortable, I would like to recommend everyone to rely on My Tour Adviser ... because the prices are great And Services are Awesome Abruzzo, ITALY

This year we did the tour of the "Festival of Holi or color," It was great, the festival of Holi is an explosion of color, music, dance and friendship with the wonderful people of the place.

Silvia Gulmanelli (Tour Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh)

I

have recently returned from another trip to India, organized by My Tour Adviser. LADAKH, a Himalayan region with beautiful lakes, glaciers, the highest passes in the world and beautiful Buddhist monasteries. I chose to go in the period in which the festival of HEMIS takes place , to join in the Festivals of monks and to see their spectacular dances. For this destination they proposed us as many as 5 different Itineraries, while in the catalogues of the other tour operators for this Sector we found only one Itinerary. The cars and the drivers were really exceptional, Rooms really perfect, nights in tented camps or resorts, helped us feel even more immersed in the majestic and exciting nature. Our tour Leader Mr Manish was very Prepared about culture and History, and he really made our tour a Memorable one...

Stefano De Agostini (Golden Triangle With Varanasi Tour)

H

ello everyone, my name is Stefano de Agostini. In the month of February 2014, along with some friends, we have chosen this agency “MY TOUR ADVISER' for a tour in India (Golden Triangle and Varanasi). We loved it here. The service is very good. They welcomed us at the airport, bus at disposition for the various transfers, all duly organized. Our Indian Guide (Manish), who speaks Italian is kind, helpful, was always with us, from the morning when we left the hotel, until return to the hotel. The driver of the minibus was excellent, considering the local traffic conditions .. Beautiful places, beautiful monuments and beautiful waiting for the dawn on the Ganges in Varanasi. Do not go to India in search of luxury (that exists), but immerse yourself in this world to be discovered (not all at once, because its impossible).

I would like to recommend MY TOUR ADVISER to everyone.
