TESTIMONIALS
 
I was delighted with the arrangements made for us for our trip to India in November. We were so thankful that we had decided to leave all the arrangements to Shikhar Travel, everything went so well, and it made the trip so enjoyable for us We hope to return some day and maybe visit the Delhi area next time. Thank you again for your expertise and your friendly service.

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am that my friend put me in touch with you. When I came back to the states and told people that I had to travel by myself and re-arrange my entire trip, they were shocked that I was able to do it. I cannot THANK YOU enough for being so helpful, understanding, patience, and kindly. I am going to write up a great review for Shikhar on trip advisor, let me know if there are any other Indian travel websites that are similar to trip advisor.

Hotel rooms are excellent and the service was nice! Especially the staff was so helpful & kind. Drivers are nice. Especially in the National Park, all drivers know much about national park & animals and made us laugh. Meals are good. For Japanese, they changed menu everyday like Chinese food, eastern food and so on. Escort did his best (Jabalpur)
