Varanasi Dharamshala Amristar

22-Mar-2021

We just finished a great private tour organized by Gets Holidays. Varanasi was fantastic. This was our fourth trip to India and one of the best. Loved the Ganges View Hotel. A great location at Assi Ghat. We spent a lot of time on the road. Our driver Dapeek was excellent. We enjoyed Mcleod and Dharamshala, Shimla. The staff at GeTSHolidays Vaseem and Ritu were in contact with us everyday to make sure everything was going well. I used an Indian SIM card so I had a local number to keep in touch with them. Getting a SIM card in India is a challenge but well worth it. Amritsar was great. The people were very nice. Don’t miss the kitchens at the Golden Temple. We went to the flag lowering ceremony at the border with Pakistan. We had seen it over 30 years ago from the Pakistan side and could not believe how many people go there now. We love India. ...more ...less
