Very good guide (English speaking) who seems to adapt to the profile but excursion shortened, we did not do only part of the Udayagri caves... the reasons still seem unclear to me because there was no accessibility problem...

We had a fantastic trip to both Sanchi and the Udaygiri caves. I truly can’t imagine how it could have gone better! Rekha is an exceptional guide. I would recommend her without reservation. She was so knowledgeable and conveyed the information in a fascinating manner. And our driver was also a lovely person. It was a real highlight of our trip to India. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
