I'm still pinching myself after my trip. India, you have stolen my heart! The trip was a rollercoaster of emotions, but in the best possible way. From the chaotic charm to the bustling streets to the serene landscapes, every moment was magical. October, 2025.

Best Jyotirlinga Tour. My husband and I have just completed 8 jyotirlinga tour with Ayodhya and 5 days Rajasthan leisure tour organized by TraEminent. The meticulously planned journey was drawn out by Jugmohan Gulati. A very budget friendly tour with best facilities. There was no delay, driver and wherever necessary guide received us at our destination. We felt very safe with the most experienced drivers especially drive to Bhimashankar where it was foggy on our return from the Darshan. An experience of a lifetime made memorable by TraEminent team especially Jugmohan. Very patient to answer your questions,and very accommodating to your needs. Well done TraEminent. Wish the team all the best. I would recommend them to anyone traveling in India for any kind of tours. Definitely will use their service in the future. October, 2023.

My trip went really well. The management of the trip was absolutrly perfect. The hotels were great, the plan was good, and the team was in regular contact with me during the tour, which gave me peace of mind. Overall, it all went well. The only thing that bothered me was the time alloted in Gulmarg. I was alloted only half day in Gulmarg, which wasnt sufficient. The highlight of the trip was the driver - Adil. You spend a long time with your driver and having a good (or bad) driver makes a lot of difference. Adil went above and beyond to accommodate me in any way possible. Gave that personal touch in every aspect of the travel. Very professional and kept guiding me where possible. Overall a great trip and I would surely recommend my friends and family. And personal thanks to Nity (operations team) for being there with me throughout the trip. Gave me that comfort and assurance I needed. Thanks and all the best to the team.
