Northern India – Delhi, Rajasthan, Agra, Varanasi TraEminent made our trip so effortless and comfortable. We usually seek discomfort and backpack through countries so this was a very different trip for us, but our first taste of India was unforgettable with these guys! Mukesh and jugmohan were so accommodating and so patient, they were professional and very responsive! India is a fascinating country and they tailored our itinerary perfectly with such little time. I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to go anywhere in India  October, 2024.

My son wanted to visit India and I contacted Tra-Eminent India Tours to book a holiday for us. We absolutely enjoyed the Golden Triangle tour with Haridwar and Rishikesh along with birth place of Lord Krishna- Mathura/Vrindavan. The elephant ride at Amer Fort was simply amazing. We also visited the Taj Mahal in Agra. The last days of the trip were spent in Haridwar and Rishikesh. We witnessed the Ganga Aarti and felt the holy vibes flowing in. We also enjoyed the selection of hotels in each city. Thank you everyone at Tra-Eminent for making it special for me and my family. I highly recommend this travel agency to anyone who is looking forward for a trip to India soon. Date of Experience: January 2019

Made memories in India. We had a great time in India and part of the reason why is due to our great guides in Amritsar and Varanasi. Ayodhya was a bit of an issue as the guide was not easy to understand and didn’t show us the sites we wanted on Diwali night. Also, the room in our hotel in Ayodhya had wood lice, so we had be moved to another room. Other than that, our trip and drivers were great. We have already recommended TraEminent to our friends.

Great Experience. The tour started from Lucknow with airport pick-up. The first stop of the tour was the Kumbh Mela where we stayed for 2 days. In Prayag, we had snan at the sangam, pilgrimage of the temples, witnessed the sangam aarati and toured the cultural shows and exhibition.  The 2nd leg of the tour was Varanasi where we stayed for 2 days. We had snan in Ganga, visited the ghats, had cruise in the evening, taking in the mesmerizing view of the ghats after watching spiritually inspiring ganga aarathi. We also performed pilgrimage of Kashi Vishwanath Temple and other temples, visited BHU. The last leg of the tour was Ayodhya where we had darshan at the Ram Temple and Hanuman Temple, in addition to a walk around Ayodhya. We had some time for a quick road tour of Lucknow on our way back before being dropped off at the airport. The whole tour was very well organised. The itinerary was well planned, with details looked into carefully and communicated to us, for any feedback on our wishes. The car driver, tour guides and the hotels we were accommodated in and the itinerary left us fully satisfied and happy. I am thankful to all who were involved in doing a splendid job in providing us a wonderful experience. Special thanks to Ms Shivani Sunny Madaan, who was overall in charge of the whole tour planning and arrangement. Date of Experience: March 2019

My husband and I just returned from a ten day tour in Kerala with TraEminent. The tour was more than I could have imagined and I want to thank them for the incredible service they provided. I inquired about a tour with several highly rated companies that I found on TripAdvisor and chose TraEminent because Sunny was the most responsive and communicative from the very beginning. I'm glad I did! That responsiveness and commitment to quality extended throughout our trip; they chose excellent hotels and activities for us and replied to questions and/or concerns quickly. We were most appreciative of our driver Mr. Sudhi who very skillfully navigated chaotic city streets as well as twisting mountain roads in a way that kept us feeling safe and confident throughout. When we needed help with an extra day in Delhi, Sunny supplied great hotel and drivers for us as well. Overall, the plan with TraEminent made our trip easy and delightful. I am recommending them for my friends and relatives who now want to go to Kerala. November, 2025.

We booked a trip to Ladakh based on positive reviews on tripadvisor. It was a personal 7 nights 8 days trip. They asked us our preferences and came up with an itinerary and price with 3 or 4 star hotel options. The trip included leh, pangong tso, shyok,nubra valley, turtuk, alchi and travelling through high altitude snowy passes khardungla and changla and kargil (we added kargil). We went late june early july. It was beautiful and flowers were starting to come up, and also snowmelts. A bit scary in shyok as the road in places disappeared and we drove over stones and through water for a few kilometres. We saw marmot, wild donkey and free horses, yak and several birds. The mountains are majestic. The altitude does make you a bit breathless, none of us had any health condition and we felt it. Our local contact in leg provided by traeminent tours advised us on altitude sickness and he emphasised several times on contacting him if we ever felt unfortable beyond the usual symptoms, how much and when to sleep. We followed his instructions carefully. We also took diomax for tge altitude breathlessness the first night which helped but it makes you thirsty and gives you a headache so we stopped taking it after. For our stay in Pangong tso our Leh person Gurmeet told us to take an oxygen cylinder reason being its higher altitude and there are no hospitals. An oxygen cylinder has 3 hours worth of oxygen should you need to drive to a hospital. We considered the Rs 2,500 an insurance and we did feel more breathless at pangong. While we could have managed without oxygen the oxygen did help ease the tightness in our chest (maybe coming from hot humid sea level singapore we took probably longer to adapt). We chose the 3 star option and did not regret it. Most cases the rooms were spacious and had great views. At pangong tso we asked to upgrade to a room with a view for an additional Rs 6.6k per person we were 3, sharing a room so we paid Rs 19.8k we felt was steep but were told taxes are high and dinner was included. Our Rs 51k per person for the trip included an excellent calm careful and informative driver Jimme and a sturdy spacious vehicle, breakfast and in two places dinner. Jimme's playlist is also great so after our trip we asked him for it. We saw beautiful monastries at Alchi, Lamayuru, Diskit, moonland the impressive Indus, Shyok and Suru rivers which we drove along. Jagmohan our tour coordinator was helpful and accommodating of our requests to add Kargil. Over all an excellent trip and we were glad we chose Traeminent.  July, 2026

Chardham Yatra September 2023: My wife and I have just completed the Chardham Yatra. This was planned for us by Mr.Jugmohan of TraEminent India Tours. This company was recommended to us by a colleague who had been on a similar tour. The choice of hotels with good food and facilities, suited our budget. More importantly we felt very comfortable and safe in the Toyota Innova, provided with an experienced driver who was very familiar with the roads. We did manage to make our way without much delay through many land slides and construction works. Sadly we did not manage to get helicopter tickets and had to use ponies. I can definitely recommend TraEminent India Tours for a reliable and cost effective holiday. September, 2023.
