We have been travelling to India, both professionally and for pleasure, for 40 years, and this was the best trip we’ve ever done.
Everything was arranged with meticulous care, travel arrangements all worked smoothly, the hotels were well chosen, the guides excellent, and when we needed to amend our itinerary in the middle of the trip this was all arranged with exemplary efficiency.
All the arrangements worked well.
We got to places we had had chosen and enjoyed places we would not have thought of, had Bindu not suggested them.

BEST.TOUR.OPERATOR.EVER! Would not even think of touring India without Bindu’s guidance and help.
She has shown us both north and south India on two separate trips. Every hotel, resort, and excursion has been first class!
We have seen the major sights, and not wasted a single step. Local guides have been excellent, and Bindu has made sure we were well taken care of.
She knows Americans, having lived in the US for three years in her youth.
India is such an interesting country, and Jasmine Trails made the trip effortless.
On top of all that, it has been a great value compared to the global travel agencies.
Cannot recommend Bindu or her company highly enough!

I would highly recommend Jasmine Trails. They set a high bar for other travel companies.
Bindu Lall & Jasmine Trails exceeded all expectations for our trip to southern India.
Bindu created a unique trip with varied experiences, which included visits to historical sites, a meal cooked by a chef in Pondicherry highlighting the unique Pondicherry Creole cuisine, several days in the hills of Munnar where we stayed at a former tea plantation walking through the fields of tea & spice plantations to an overnight on a houseboat in the backwaters of Kumarakom.
The various guides we had throughout the journey were knowledgeable & courteous.
Bindu is knowledgeable, “gets people”, is flexible, creates unique and varied experiences, and provided a mix of sightseeing and down time that was just right for us.
Bindu is experienced & completely worthy of your trust!

Jasmine Trails made our trip to India absolutely spectacular
Our trip was well thought out, well planned, and we had great communication with Bindu throughout the entire trip. I highly recommend Jasmine Trails and will be recommending to all my family and friends!
I wish that Jasmine Trails did more planning for trips in the US because I would have the company plan all my trips.

We cannot praise Jasmine Trails highly enough
From the minute we arrived to our departure, we were in the safest of hands.
The care and meticulous planning that went into providing us with another holiday of a lifetime, was amazing. All our wishes were translated with such perfection and thoughtfulness.
The sheer variety of our experiences combined with the hand picked hotels, has meant that we are now planning another holiday with Jasmine Trails. The Himachal and Royal Rajasthan Tour exceeded all our expectations.

A brilliant and extraordinary trip!
This was our second trip to India with Jasmine Trails.
From the moment that we arrived in Delhi, until the end of our trip, we were taken care of by Jasmine Trails representatives, expert guides and skilful drivers.
Although our entire trip was closely overseen ,and managed by Bindu, the beauty of travelling with J.T is that there is also room for flexibility!
I am a vegetarian and gluten intolerant, but this was never an issue, as Bindu ensured that I was always catered for. It’s also much easier in India than the U.K !
India is a unique country with incredible cultural diversity, and it is drenched in vibrant colour and energy. In order to experience this, and the hidden gems on offer, you need an exceptional travel company …and Jasmine Trails is just that .

The drivers kept an eye on the itinerary, even if there were some changes. The hotels were well-selected and were great places to stay at.
We also enjoyed the various activities such as a jeep ride through the tea plantations, the nature walk in Thekkady with the forest rangers, the houseboat experience and the evening shows very much. These ten days were a unique experience for us.

Trustworthy companion to help you plan your travels in India
We spent 2 weeks touring north India. I loved the aspect that from the moment that we landed in Delhi to the moment that we checked-in to our departing flight, everything was so beautifully organized by Bindu and her team.
Everyone was punctual, friendly and always ready to help you with a smile.
Great service and a very trustworthy companion to help you plan your travels in India. Please keep up the high quality of work and hopefully – see you soon!

The Jasmine Trails team delivered a well paced, enriching and thoroughly enjoyable journey. I can’t thank them enough for helping us realize a trip of a lifetime. We have been back for a couple of weeks and are still glowing from our travels.
We felt so well taken care of at every step. From booking, to arrival and until the moment we stepped on our flight home we were provided with expert service.
We are well travelled and have never before experienced the level of care and attention that we were provided.

We enjoyed every single day of our time in India!
One week ago we arrived back home from our wonderful trip to India and we have the best memories!
Thank you so much for everything! We enjoyed every single day of our time in India.
The hotels were just perfect. Everywhere we had the nicest rooms with lovely wedding flowers and cake and everybody was just so friendly. Your drivers were always on time and very friendly and helpful.
You prepared us with all the important documents and tickets so we could really enjoy our trip and didn’t have to think about anything. We really can’t think of anything we would have wanted to be different.
It was a great pleasure traveling with Jasmine trails and especially with you! We will definitely come back to India and will recommend Jasmine trails to our friends and family.

Jasmine Trails is a cut above
I am very impressed Jasmine Trails. I have used other tour groups in the past, Jasmine Trails is a cut above.
I had 36 hrs open in a busy business trip. Bindu put together a wonderful personal tour to fit my crazy schedule. Bindu understands that a personal tour is not simply a group tour with one. Not all tour companys get this.
The tour guides were amazing in their depth and breath of knowledge of the sites and the area. Definitely will use Jasmine Trails again.

We have just returned from the holiday of a lifetime
We have just returned from the holiday of a lifetime with Bindu leading our tour through southern India. The professionalism with which Bindu had organised every aspect of our trip, meant that we could relax and enjoy all the experiences we shared.
We stayed in beautiful, eco friendly hotels whilst travelling in great comfort. Local guides enlightened us on the temples and sites visited, whilst Bindu provided an invaluable insight into modern India.
Our itinerary was thoughtfully planned, balanced and inspirational. Bindu was an excellent tour guide, charming, calm and very considerate. We cannot recommend Jasmine Trails highly enough and are already saving for our next trip with Bindu.

We wouldn’t want to set up a trip in India using anyone but Bindu
We met Bindu through our friends at the Asian Art Society of New England, who make frequent trips to India.
She has arranged wonderful trips for us, providing excellent advice for where to go, what to see, and where to stay. On her trips, we are continually in good hands, with everything arranged like clockwork. Our drivers have been outstanding, and so have our guides. The hotels and food have been wonderful, and thoughtfully chosen.
Our budget is kept in mind as well. Beyond all of this, Bindu is well-connected and has set up for me (through a great deal of hard work) a tour of Chinese porcelain in New Delhi, which is in the custody of the Archaeological Survey of India, and very difficult to see.
Beyond her high level of competence, it is her ability to accomplish special challenges like this that make her truly unusual. We wouldn’t want to set up a trip in India using anyone else.

We can’t imagine an excursion more carefully planned, scheduled and carried out
My husband and I had a wonderful experience traveling to South India, from Chennai in Tamil Nadu state to Kochi in Kerala, with Bindu Lall, our trip organizer. We can’t imagine an excursion more carefully planned, scheduled and carried out than the one Bindu put together for our small group of eight.
Traveling in our own bus, we visited a stimulating variety of temples, historical properties, nature preserves and demonstrations of local crafts, including weaving, bronze casting, rope making and pottery. The trip also featured visits to collections of bronze sculpture, dance performances and a martial arts program, interspersed with a relaxing afternoon of gliding along a large lake on a houseboat. Along the way, local guides provided explanations of Hindu religion, ornate temple architecture and history, supplemented by specialists who took us through a spice plantation and wildlife sanctuary.
Bindu herself is not only a supremely organized tour leader but excellent educator who, during our longer drives, provided astute, honest commentary on Indian contemporary society, economics and politics.
In addition to her professionalism, she was always charming and fun at group meals, which were all first rate, provided by her carefully chosen hotels and restaurants. Indeed, we felt spoiled by the sumptuous array of choices at meals and top accommodations at the variety of hotels we enjoyed. In short: we always felt safe, secure and well informed under Bindu’s watchful eye.

‘Incredible India’.. it’s true….thanks to Jasmine Trails….
Bindu at Jasmine Trails was highly recommended by discerning family friends. From our first communication, Bindu was professional and immensely helpful with every aspect of planning our trip.
We were in a small group, the Living Arts of India, guided by Bindu and all I can say is that we were in the absolute best hands and her knowledge and expertise are top notch and she has a great sense of humor to boot!
Every detail was planned and executed beautifully. My husband and I had an unforgettable experience and it was certainly one of the most exhilarating, sensory stimulating, magical and spiritual trips of our life. We will definitely be going back as we now have the India itch. There is a vast amount to explore and we’ll only use Bindu and her team at Jasmine Trails for all future travel in India & beyond.

I can thoroughly recommend Jasmine Trails for great value for money
I travelled with Bindu and her wonderful team on the Jasmine Trails arts tour in October 2019.
We travelled with fun like-minded people and Bindu’s extensive knowledge about Indian art, culture and history made the tour stimulating and exciting. The tour was beautifully organised spanning well known icons to some exotic and out of the way places.
We were constantly surprised while at the same time felt our welfare and comfort needs were always met. I can thoroughly recommend Jasminetrails tours for great value for money, their exciting itinerary and their personal warmth, care and professionalism. Can’t wait to do another one.

It was sensational! Far beyond my expectations!
I have very few words to describe our amazing art tour of India. It was sensational! Far beyond my expectations!
Along the way, we were taken to famous landmarks and tourist towns, stayed in first class accommodation, tried many and various Indian cuisines, met some excellent artists and artisans, and even visited wonderful elephant shelter. Bindu herself is fun and a gem, incredibly knowledgeable, and in certain locations, she employed even more knowledgeable guides, who were all excellent!
I would recommend Bindu and Jasmine Trails to any traveller who wanted to have a super special and interesting tour of India.

The Living Arts of India tour exceeded my expectations in every way
My recent trip with Jasmine Trails and Bindu – Living Arts of India with David Rossiter- exceeded my expectations in every way. Our visits to artisans were fabulous and the local guides organized by Jasmine Trails were excellent.
I was particularly happy that we ‘got amongst it’, really experiencing the places we visited. Wherever we were, Bindu created a safe and comfortable space for us, the hotels were lovely, and did I mention how much FUN we had!Thanks, Bindu

First time to India and what an introduction!
Bindu organised an amazing trip which was a hugely enjoyable and memorable experience. I was slightly nervous with it being my first visit but I shouldn’t have worried, everything had been carefully thought out and perfectly organised.
The drivers were excellent, guides knowledgeable and interesting and the hotels well chosen. There is so much to see and the itinerary was a great mix, from historic sites and iconic buildings to national parks and elephant sanctuaries.
Thank you for an unforgettable trip and I can’t recommend Jasmine Trails highly enough!

Excellent
The unique selling point of Jasmine Trails is the individual tailoring of your requirement in exploring India This was my first trip to India and although I had some idea what I wanted to do, Taj mahal etc. the choice and number of places to visit can be bewildering.
Jasmine Trails offered options and choices centred around my preferences, amended them twice and finally detailed an itinerary that suited me.
The hotels were brilliant the guides and drivers all English speaking and for a traveller on my own I felt fully supported all the way.
I can fully recommend Jasmine Trails for that personal touch and if I visit India again, they certainly will be the first people I speak to.

The whole experience was amazing
About 7 months ago, I had the pleasure and good fortune to meet Bindu Lall.
I was considering a tour in India after a total knee replacement and put out feelers on Facebook asking for advice. Not only did she help find me a surgeon that exceeded my expectations, she acted as intermediary when I was in India.
I ended up getting a total knee replacement with Dr. Hemat Sharma at Pratiksha Hospital, but Bindu had several options and recommendations. I was a little nervous about traveling to a foreign place and relying on the promises of people I didn’t know, but I was given everything I was promised and more, for the price stipulated. I absolutely could not have afforded this operation in my home country. I am 7 months out, and I feel like a new person.
I ended up deciding to wait on the tour, as I wasn’t as mobile as I would have liked, before, and immediately after my operation.
Despite this, Bindu was there every step of the way for my operation. She visited me several times in the hospital, and always spoke with the staff if I had any questions. She helped me if I was needed anything, and was a very comforting presence during a rather incredible journey. The whole experience was amazing and made very simple because of Bindu. I’m hoping I won’t need any more procedures for a while, but if I did, I would certainly consider India and Bindu first.
I haven’t the time yet for an Indian adventure, but when I get some free time, I will travel with Jasmine Trails. I’m especially intrigued with the India and Art adventures.

I definitely will be back to India with Jasmine trails next time
I travelled with Jasmine Trails in March/April 2018. I had been to India a couple of times before with other travel agencies, but this time was an unique experience. I travelled with my 8 year old son, but thanks to Bindu from Jasmine trails everything was perfectly arranged. Hotels, drivers, guides and connections were all very carefully selected, so we could make a fantastic trip visiting Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, Ranthambore and Jaipur. I definitely will be back to India with Jasmine trails next time.

She is the best in the business!
I have known Bindu Lall since my first trip to India in 2000. Since then she has arranged 7 trips for me and various friends as we explored India from North to South and East to West. Bindu is extremely knowledgeable about everything in India and she is never at a loss for interesting things to tell you. She is efficient, accommodating, helpful and so pleasant to be with.
She puts herself out to sort any problems you might have and is always available to help. I have done 2 trips without Bindu and she was very much missed – it just was not the same. I would recommend anyone considering visiting India to only do so under the capable guidance of Bindu Lall. She is the best!

Jasmine Trails runs incredibly well organized small group tours
Jasmine Trails runs an incredibly well organized small group tour that blends the old and the new, the city and the country, excitement with relaxation – a thoroughly enjoyable tour. Most people I know who go to India do a loop around northern India. There is much to see there, of course, and many things that should not be missed. But the south has much to recommend it as well, and in some ways it is much better. The warm, tropical weather, the lush flowers and trees, the massive Hindu temples (in remarkably good condition even though up to a thousand years old), the jungles, the ocean, the palm trees – there is so much to enjoy. Every day is different, surprising, and enjoyable. It’s a land that is truly different from ours in many ways, with a mix of cultures, ancient and thoroughly modern, making it unforgettable. Southern India is at or near the top of our list of favorite destinations.
