“You have been the most wonderful (always) smiling tour guide.

You have looked after us so incredibly well & never have I met such a kind person.

Your delightful personality alongside your beautiful demeanour has made me fall in love with India!

“What can I say. A team of 29 people on a cycling adventure on push bikes around the streets and countryside of India.

An amazing combination of sight-seeing and cycling, seeing the best of everything on 2 weeks.

I admire and truly respect the patience, calm and challenge heading the Teens Unite Team around some truly challenging reads, sand and rocky terrain.

The visit to schools planting trees and seeing the true environment was an eye opening and truly wonderful experience.

Puran is one of the most accommodating tour leaders with JoJo being one of the motivating and good souls who wanted to do all he could to give everyone their best life!

I would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing the trip.

Thanks Puran!”

“Expedition leaders have organised an unbelievable trip exploring the golden triangle in India. We have cycled through some amazing villages, learning the culture and supporting the local people whilst raising money for Teens Unite.

There hasn’t been a bad day and the accommodation has been great.

It really has been an eye opening experience and now I will never travel to a poor country again without visiting and supporting people less fortunate than myself.

Thank you so much for such an amazing trip. You should be very proud of the trip and the organisation that you made for this trip.”

"Dear Puran,

Thank you! You have made this experience a joy. Your knowledge + “stones” has been a bonus.

I love India, the people, the food (curry) and the positivism - I especially loved the driving!

Until we meet again,

Cheers!”

“Puran, a great smile from the moment we met you that continued throughout the challenge.

You made sure we experienced India for what it is. The countryside, the people and the culture.

A truly special place and a life changing experience.

Thank you.”

“Puran,

I can speak for everyone and say what a wonderful experience we had. The local people and both beautiful and amazing with what they gave me back being as little as a hello and a smile!

You and your team were first class and we feel privileged to have had your company throughout our trip!

Obviously the importance is for Teens Unite which is the charity we are supporting.

May I say on behalf a Teens Unite and all the gang a very big thank you. My very best regards!”

“A Great Trip, professionally run and very well organised throughout our time in India.

A good balance of culture, trekking and historical interest.

The Expedition brought out the best in the students and they grew in confidence and self reliance as the expedition progressed.

Thank you very much Puran.”

"Dear Puran,

Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us. The indian people are so kind hearted and have wonderful souls. The trip has been an incredible adventure - I have laughed, cried, eaten curry morning, noon and night and gone to bed very happy.

Thank you."

“Dear Puran,

There are no words to describe what an amazing journey you have taken me on in the last 10 days.

Your smile is infectious, your charm is truly wonderful.

You accommodate everyone in every way. I have loved coming to India, but what made it so special is you.”

“To Puran,

Thank you for the opportunity for this trip of a lifetime and helping me change to a grown up.

Thank you.”

“Amazing experience! I loved the culture shock of Delhi, the view from the mountains and the nature of the people.

This trip has changed me as a person!”

Dear Puran,

Wow! What an amazing journey. Thank you so much for showing and sharing your beautiful country. It has exceeded my expectations. The warmth, humility, love and welcome we have received has been out of this world. I can never explain to the people at home what we have experienced and I will be forever grateful.

“You have provided my studients with memories which will last a lifetime.

I feel privileged to have been part of it, and look forward to hearing students discuss their experience with their peers!

And thank you for providing me with an experience that will stay with me forever! ”

“This trip has been the trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t recommend it more, I think everyone needs to experience that we’ve experienced and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide to experience it with.”

“I waited and was willing to wait years for an opportunity like this, and the trip doesn’t disappoint. It’s made me grow as a person from to the trekking to the culture, all of it has helped me.

Life has really changed I hope I continue to grow and experience things like this.

Thank you Puran I may have had lots of doubt but it’s been 100% worth it.”

“I have learnt a lot coming on this trip about different cultures and about myself. I feel that everyone including myself has changed a lot for the better because of this trip. I am glad that I have become close with everyone on this trip and I feel that we have become a  sort of family.“

“From this trip, it helped me discover what I wanted to do in life. The busy streets and high mountains developed me as a person and now my perspective on life is completely different. It was an amazing experience that I’m glad I went through.”

"Our India trip opened my eyes to so much. I felt safe and was able to see a beautiful, wonderful India that I was very sad to leave. Thank you so much!"

Expedition Leaders have fully supported us in the safe planning of our trip.

All aspects of risk assessment, accommodation, travel, and trekking have been organised professionally.

"My trip to Northern India last summer was the highlight of my travels. India stands out in terms of culture, the places and the people I met.

Expedition Leaders planned an amazing trip for me and were really helpful throughout - thank you!"

“I had a wonderful time in India, more importantly, the pupils thoroughly enjoyed it. My heartfelt thanks to you for all your generosity and kindness. I start a new academic year with thoughts of India.”

“Memorable Experiences beyond the classroom. Broadening education beyond the classroom is vital in developing our self-confidence and maturity.”

“My husband and I chose Expedition Leaders from six tour operators recommended to us via Responsible Travel, to organise our first trip to India. Our guides and drivers for our sight-seeing were friendly and knowledgeable on our excursions in Shimla, Agra and Delhi.

We were looked after every step of the way and treated like royalty!”

“India is a feast for the senses.

I would highly recommend Puran and his company Expedition Leaders if you are planning a visit to this wonderful country.

local knowledge and attention to detail made sure that we had an unforgettable experience in India and at a very reasonable price compared to many of the larger tour companies.”

“I have been interacting with Puran and his groups since the time he began bringing them to India. The way he handles this is sensitive, and the two-way street that he has been able to create between the host community and the visitor is greatly enriching for both.”

"Expedition Leaders are a very rare find: experienced enough to make sure everything goes smoothly on your trip."
