My Review of Traveling with India Someday

I’ve just spent an incredible 12 days travelling around North India, from Varanasi, through Khajuraho, Orccha, Gwalior, Jaipur and ending in Delhi. Even though I’ve travelled to some of these places before and around India many times, this trip was a little different because instead of winging it as I normally do, I used the services of a company called India Someday to help me plan and organise my trip.

I’ll be writing more soon about the places I visited on this trip, but first here’s a quick recap of the trip and a review of my experience traveling with India Someday.

Why I travelled with India Someday

I’ve been travelling (mostly independently) around India for more than 2 years now and whilst I believe you can travel India safely and enjoyably as a solo female traveller, I’m also the first to admit that it is not the easiest place to travel and often a little extra comfort or assistance can go along way to ensuring you have an enjoyable and memorable trip for the right reasons!

However, sometimes I feel there is a huge gap between going it totally alone and the inflexibility of an organised tour. To be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of group tours as I prefer to travel independently and at my own pace, however India is such a huge country and somewhere wherea little assistance is certainly worthwhile, especially for the first time and if you’re a solo female traveller like me so wouldn’t it be great if there was something to fill this gap?

And that’s where India Someday come in…

India Someday are a young, energetic and resourceful travel company based in Mumbai (Bombay) who are experts on India and can assist you in planning a well thought, personalized and cost-effective trip to India – it’s the perfect solution if you don’t want to join a group tour but want to ensure that your trip is well planned and runs smoothly.

I got the chance to meet both Harsh and Abbas in person as India Someday were responsible for organising all the travel arrangements for the Uttar Pradesh Travel Writer’s Conclave in Varanasi that I attended and they were really cool guys. I was planning to travel on solo after the conclave but as India Someday had done such a great job organising and making everything run smoothly for the conclave that when they asked me if I’d like to use their services for my solo trip I was excited to see what they could offer, mainly thinking that you guys would really benefit from their help as I get a lot of emails asking for help and advice planning travels in India.

So what do India Someday do?

India Someday will help you plan your perfect, personalised trip to India. They start with a questionnaire that enables them to get to know you so that they can plan the best trip just for you and really take their time going back and forwards with emails discussing everything from your budgetary and time constraints, which destinations you want to visit and what type of accommodation and transport you prefer. The India Someday team has a wealth of tips and information to answer all your questions about traveling in India.

Once you decide on the perfect route, India Someday will take care of all the transportation and accommodation bookings. I liked the easy to read spreadsheet they emailed me with all the days clearly planned out, transportation details and accommodation options with links to the hotel website and also trip advisor reviews so it was easy for me to check that all the arrangements suited me.
