Holiday review by Mrs. Judith Bailey

Name: Mrs. Judith Bailey

Date of trip: 07/11/2014

Number of people: 2

We sat with ladies in a local village at the end of their working day and then we were welcomed into an engagement party with singing and dancing in preparation of the meeting of the couple. However our day out with The Maharajah's nephew to the local village and farm will never be forgotten

On a very early morning boat trip on the river, we finally found crocodiles!!! Then on arriving in Udaiphur the view from our room was stunning.

Tribes Overall:

We had a wonderful holiday with a really good mixture of local culture, fairs, feasts and families and in contrast many old forts and palaces.
We mixed with everyone from Maharajahs to rural families. It was all we could have wished for.

Tribes Service:

Yes, although I knew what I wanted to do Paul helped plan and give suggestions I would not have known about.

Guides:

Our driver was fantastic and was very patient with us and drove extremely well.
All the guides were good with the exception of Kukki in Bundi who would not follow the programme or listen to our requests etc.

Social & Environmental Responsibility:

it was awful to see how Delhi is changing and growing out of all recognition. The traffic and pollution is now just unacceptable.They are building cities of sky scrapers and it is just like the original concrete jungle. Global warming will never cope with the demands of the developing world.
However the countryside is managed well and it was good to see how much is being done to help the rural families and their environment.
