Can't go wrong with Payless India Tours - Payless Tours India arranged a wonderful tour for us to visit the best and the most memorable places for us in India & Nepal. Our trip was partially customized without the hotels and flights as we had our own channels to book them. Mr.Neeraj Sharma gave us a reasonable quotation rate, and overall the best service. We visited 7 cities in India and 4 cities in Nepal, for a total of 19 days. Our driver Mithun Sharma kept us safe the whole overland trip with his friendly and good demeanor. He knows all the ins and outs, and all roads to go anywhere and everywhere. Amazing! Open your mind, and visit these beautiful countries with no other than Payless India Tours! Highly recommended!

Varanasi, Nepal tour and Goa with internal flights - This is the second time we have been with Payless Tours and cannot recommend them enough. Our driver Mithun was professional, friendly and informative at all times. Some of the roads in Nepal were still under construction but, Mithun got us there safely. All the hotels we stayed at were clean, the food was great and the hosts were lovely. The extra tour guides we had were very knowledgable and professional also. We will definitely be using them again.

India/Nepal Adventure - Nothing was too much trouble for our driver/guide Mithun Sharma. He drove across, often, difficult terrain. Indeed sometimes the road disappeared. The selection of hotels provided were comfortable & clean. In great locations & hosted by some of the nicest people. This is our second trip with Payless.

It was beautiful tour - I am very pleased with the organization of our trip to India. Everything was well prepared. We traveled in a comfortable, air-conditioned and clean car. Our the best driver ever Mithun, who also sometimes acted as a guide, made sure that we were safe and patiently answered all our questions about customs and life in India. It was very valuable for us. Accommodation was in accordance with previous arrangements. We especially liked the ones in Chitawan, Nagarkot and Goa. Our trip was very intense, we spent the night in a different place almost every day, but everything was very well organized and we also received suggestions for additional attractions in a given place. Thank you for the wonderful experiences of traveling to India and Nepal.

Best trip our life - Rohit is an amazing driver and friend. I travelled with him in India with two friends and he made our journey! He always kept us safe, made sure we were ok and always asked if we needed anything. He made sure we where never conned or stolen by any other people. It was an absolute pleasure to travel with Rohit Saini and he is a good friend of mine. I would recommend anyone to travel with him. We made some great memories and laughs along our trip!

Our Trip to India and Nepal - We are from U.S.A. I have to say Our trip was just excellent we toured India into Nepal with our wonderful driver/tour guide Bholu ,he was just wonderful with my husband and myself, he was with us from when we landed in Delhi , he met us at the airport , and was with us until we departed from Nepal. He showed us many many things of interest. Everything was arranged beforehand. Our highlight was flying over Mt.Everest, just gorgeous site to be seen. And the Taj Mahal was just stunning. Bholu really catered to us as my husband is 75 and I am 67 years old so he went at our pace, which isn’t fast. If anyone is interested in doing any tours I highly recommend going with Bholu. He made it such a beautiful experience for us , Bholu . Again , Thank you again so much for a wonderful vacation , maybe we’ll be back someday Helen and William Gomez Dover . NJ USA
