Portrait of a Kanishka Holiday Makers guest
Rated 5 out of 5

We booked an India tour with Kanishka Holiday Makers and were absolutely delighted. Our German-speaking tour guide was fantastic, catering to our preferences and sharing fascinating insights. We immersed ourselves in the local culture, interacted with friendly locals, and even participated actively in a temple. Every city or town provided us with excellent hotels offering half-board, and we were pleased with the lunchtime restaurant choices. We’ll definitely book our next trip with Kanishka Holiday Makers and highly recommend both the agency and the incredible country. Thank you!

I’ve traveled twice in India with Kanishka Holiday Makers, led by Dr. Subhash Jadhav, and both trips were impeccably organized. Mr. Jadhav’s passion and friendship made the experience exceptional. His deep knowledge of India is unmatched. If you’re considering a tour in India, I highly recommend Kanishka Holiday Makers. Don’t explore India without them and Dr. Jadhav!
