Awesome experience on the Ganges - The men who crewed the boat, set up our camp including making our beds, cooked amazing food and generally tended to our every need were courteous, respectful and couldn’t do enough to help to ensure an amazing and unique experience. I loved the experience and would recommend to anyone…. The boys rowed for hours with four tourists and all our luggage aboard … an awesome effort Thank you again so much

Wonderful experience that I’ll never forget - Amazing trip. Only spoilt a little by the fog. The effort that the guys on the boats put in to make us comfortable was incredible. They rowed like crazy, made us food, put up tents and smiled at us constantly. Unfortunately, The unusual weather spoilt it a little as the banks of the Ganges weren’t always visible clearly and it was a little cold. Would do it again!

Good times on the Ganges - I joined this trip as part of an Explore Small tour and had a fantastic experience. The company looked after us so well, setting up camp, cooking delicious food and taking us on the most wonderful sail. All done with a smile 😊. Would definitely recommend as a brilliant highlight of our Indian adventure.

Friendly crew, wonderful sights. - Peaceful respite from the general Indian hustle & bustle. Lovely overnight camp & meal before sailing to Varanasi on the Ganges. Lots of wildlife to observe on the way. Really friendly crew. Basic toilet facilities and tents - but if you are prepared this is all part of the experience.
