Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Fabulous trip with our two 20-something girls! India can be a challenge, but we felt safe with company reps meeting us at each airport and "escorting" us to hotels with our driver. The time and stress we saved in not having to find our own drivers and taxi, not having to take a chance on hiring unknown guides, not knowing where to go or where to eat - was priceless. All the little stuff that can turn into big stuff when you are travelling with a family was taken care of !

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

So many great moments. Certainly seeing the Taj Mahal - we were all prepared to be disappointed but she does not disappoint... The aarti ceremony on the Ganges was spiritual and moving - and made even better by our knowledgeable guide who could "translate" the experience. Sitting at dinners with our kids and having adult discussions about India's challenges and how we felt being in this different world. Making it to the top of Poon Hill for a cold and windy sunrise.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

Take more rest days - the pace we set for ourselves was pretty demanding. You need downtime - especially in a country like India where there is so much to absorb. Spend more time in Pokhora - such a relief to"land there" after being in India and then trekking!
