Planes, Trains and Automobiles


Itinerary Specially Designed For 
‘Mrs. Monica Gupta & Her Family’ 
‘Temples & Neighborhoods’ This tour platter is beautifully set with the crown jewel attractions of North India. There is spirituality and there is romance in the tour. We also step off the tourist track to observe and experience a living museum where life and conditions as well as human spirits remain frozen in time....Trinetra Tours.


The itinerary will look like a bus tour on steroids....but each day has been carefully planned for maximum enjoyment.  Trinetra Tours helped design everything in this itinerary. They booked the hotels, transportation, all the drivers.  We spent about a month emailing back and forth making sure I had all the 'family visits' incorporated into each city visit.  

Once the itinerary was worked out we were able to choose hotels based on comfort 3star to 5star.  Nothing was booked without a 'Tripadvisor' review check.

Indian Transportation

Planes, trains, automobiles, rickshaws, e-rickshaws, elephants, camels, boats, trucks...we experienced it all.  Driving through India is like being in a dance with many performers moving through the tiniest of spaces and somehow making it to the end.  Every arrival is like arriving at the end of a rollercoaster ride.  We survived, barely.

Jodhpur 2017

Maharajas from Rajasthan have a title but usually don’t work. They’re families recently have converted their private homes (palaces) into hotels. Ratan Villas is where we stayed last night. We met the Maharaj and he let me take these photos. He’s 85 years old and he has grandchildren in university. The hope is that they take over the family name and protect the homes for future generations.  We took our first Indian train ride from Jaipur to Jodhpur.

Elephanta Caves, Mumbai

You know when you watch the news and hear about a ferry boat capsizes in the Arabian Sea? Well today I felt like that could be us! Monsoon rains, dodgy wooden boat, not enough life jackets, kids puking, people praying. Full experience. Well worth it to see the Elephanta Caves! Temples dating back to 200BC carved in stone depicting Lord Shiva. Priceless.
