India's classic Delhi-Jaipur Agra triangle plus the holy city of Varanasi. - My husband and I traveled in India in August 2025. It took a long time to decide on this trip after reading about all the disadvantages of travelling in this country. To dispel any doubts and make the right decision we were helped by the feedback of tourists who travelled with the travel agency SevenWonderTours, headed by a charming young man - Abinav. With Abinav, we started communicating from the moment we booked the tour on the website, and we were immediately struck by his speed and instant reaction to answering all our questions and doubts. In addition, Abinav kindly helped us with the e-visa application. And when we arrived in India, we saw for ourselves that the organization of our tour was beyond praise. We visited the classic Delhi-Jaipur-Agra triangle and stopped at Varanasi. Arriving in Delhi on an Aeroflot night flight, which was an hour late, and long hesitating at passport control, we were a little worried whether we would be met, which was in vain, as we were given a warm welcome by driver Akash, who was then our friend and assistant throughout the trip. Akash was extremely punctual and came to the hotel for us in the morning minute by minute, which was very nice. And there were always bottles of drinking water in his car, which is not the case with the driver from Varanasi. In all four cities we had Russian-speaking guides with us, especially liked Sanja, a guide in Delhi who was also a wonderful photographer and took beautiful pictures. And the guide in Varanasi surprised us with his erudition in the field of different religions. The last person I liked was the guide in Jaipur, who felt a little bored with the job. He gave us the most free time. Abinav himself and I met in Agra when we stopped by the hotel, and in the evening he invited us to dinner, which was very nice of him. We had a great evening there, it was really good. Abinav himself is a strict vegetarian, very pleasant to talk to, an open, bright and kind young man from a well-to-do family where his mother works as a midwife in a maternity hospital. He's just starting to learn Russian, but his English is excellent, very clear and comprehensible, which is not the case with other Indians. Even simple phrases in Indian English like "How are you?" are heard with an eerie pronunciation and unrecognizable. Although we thought we knew the language well)). But even if we hadn't spoken English, there was a good translator in Agra with Abinav, who knew Russian literature perfectly well, who would have removed the barrier to communication. We really liked the organization of the tour because we saw a lot, the experience - just the sea, and at the same time we were not tired, there was time for both relaxation and sightseeing. We travelled in three cities in an air-conditioned car, took a modern train to Varanasi, and then flew back to Delhi on a local flight. Our plans changed slightly when the floods hit Varanasi (we arrived during the monsoon season) and the Ganges burst its banks, at which time all planned boat trips were cancelled and Artie's ceremony moved from the ghats above to the rooftops. However, everything was calm in the central areas of the city and we visited the Archaeological Museum, Buddhist Temple and Hindu Temple at Varanasi University in return for a boat trip and were not bored by the weather conditions, which had calmed down by the time we arrived. In general we were very satisfied with our voyage, it succeeded, we felt great, got nothing sick, were not poisoned, we were not robbed. After reading bad things about India online, we were prepared for anything, but it didn't happen. Even with regard to street beggars and gawking at us as white crows, locals, we were under the cover of our guides and driver and felt safe. I think we'll be back in India after a while just because of our good first experience. Beautiful Delhi with its temples of almost all religions, pink Jaipur, Taj Mahal in Agra, elephant village, monkey temple, sacred Ganges in Varanasi, sharp-spiced vegetarian food, colorful saris of Indian women, car klaxons, sea of motorcyclists, rickshaws, hot sun will always be remembered, as will the wonderful team of Abinawa boys and their benevolent attitude towards us Russians.
