If you plan to travel in other parts of India, especially Rajasthan, we highly recommend a small and dedicated family company, Splendindia, run by Mahadev Kashana. We have known him and his family for many, many years and our guests who have used their travel and guiding services have always given us five star reports of their service. They are based in Jaipur but have a thorough knowledge of most of North India, especially Rajasthan. Mahadev can arrange hotels, cars, trains, planes, etc or devise a tour for you, short or long and according to your budget. He’s excellent value for money, saves you a lot of hassle over bookings allowing you to relax and enjoy your travels , provides a back up if there are difficulties – and can be contacted via their website SplendIndia
