Wonderful experience with the team
Great experience with the team. Everything was meticulously planned and executed brilliantly. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to travel to India.
Really useful for travelling independently in India
This was my 4th time in India…but travelling for 37 days across different places cites was still quite overwhelming. A friend recommended goplanout community..., especially for finding local experiences beyond the usual tourist spots with there local buddy suppoRt in each city
The app was great too…having our tickets and travel details organised in one place made thiNgs much easier.,.
The train advice was probably the biggest help. We paid around ₹2000 for first class..while some other foreign travellers we met had paid roughly the same for 3ac and were struggling to get comfortable seats.
We still travelled independently and booked most things ourselves. Planout just made the complicated bits much easier.
