What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Magnificent temples of Belur and Halebidu are the pinnacle of the unique "Hoysala" art and architecture. The Belur and Halebid temples give a glimpse of Hindu temple art at its glorious best of the 16th century. The temples are famous for their carvings and splendid architecture. The Hoysalas improved on the previous mega empires of Calukyas who are known for building extremely ornate temples in many parts of Karnataka noted for the sculptures in the walls, ceilings, curved pillars and many more. They Hoysala's followed Dravidian style, vesara style of architecture and yet left their mark by adding thier own unique form of architecture in the temple building.

          Unbelievable Carving
          We traveled by road from Pune to Aurangabad. Is spite of the rainy season we had a pretty much uneventful journey. We stayed in a Tata group hotel called Ginger. Very well maintained facility with a Restaurant included for easy dining facility. We had originally planned to visit Ellora on the day of our arrival in Aurangabad but because of the crowds we decided to postpone the visit to another day. The following day we drove to Ajanta caves and spent the entire day there. It was truly an amazing experience. Even more amazing was the visit to Ellora. Both locations are worth a visit for any travelers vising that part of Bharat.

          Historical Places are Best in the world. Nicely Maintained in a Populous Country like Ours. Guide's service should Be Included in Tickets or Should have Museum with Repeating the History.

          Birdwatching in a non touristic park, enjoy birding under quite and calm
          Truly a gem of birding tour, the park was so calm and refreshing, one thing was truly awesome there, like there were NO weekend crowds OR typical tourists, just serious bird watchers who were enjoying their tour and birds . I was the only one who sighted "Saras cranes" and their guide told it happens only few times in a year

          Sariska Safari from Delhi
          I think my main concern as a man from an European Country was that I was afraid of getting scammed, but Mr. Jai Singh was very professional in arranging our trip to Sariska, and the communication was spot on. The trip itself: Yes it was a long car ride, but the further from Delhi we got, we got to see the "real" India. The roads also got a lot worse. The safari was very exciting experience although we didn´t see any Tigers, we saw many other animals: Boars, Crocodiles, Lizards, different Deers and more, another Jeep spotted a tiger and we drove through the forest like crazy but it was gone. We also got home safe, the traffic i Delhi is crazy on a level we never saw before.

          Great experience at Kaziranga
          This was a very convenient way of getting to visit Kaziranga from Guwahati. All the staff were very friend and accommodating and we really enjoyed our two safaris by jeep into the national park to see wild elephant and many rhinos

          Everything you could need to experience Delhi, and even more! Things you'd never find on your own!
          Jai was fantastic and took us to so many unique and wonderful places. This was our first time to India and he helped us see everything we could wish to see in 8 hours and more! This was an incredible choice and Jai will not steer you wrong - recommended 10/10 for a one day trip to Delhi if you wish to see all sides of this crazy city!

          02 hidden gems of Goa in his tour, Wildlife experience in Goa and the Spice plantation.
          This park is a hidden gem in Goa, a bit of wildlife , birds among the lush greenery. What is amazing is that the park is well-maintained with clean walking trails and peaceful spots to relax. Very interesting is the mini zoo, which features a variety of animals including fascinating snakes and vibrant birds. Later we visited the spice farm with a nice guided tour inside, explaining about the cultivation of different indian spices followed by a lip smacking lunch

          An incredible cultural experience of heritage India
          Visiting the Ajanta and Ellora Caves is a breathtaking experience that transports you to the heart of India's ancient art, culture, and spirituality. Located in the state of Maharashtra, these UNESCO World Heritage Sites are a must-visit for anyone interested in history, art, and architecture. Ajanta Caves are renowned for their stunning frescoes and intricate carvings that depict the life of Buddha and scenes from Jataka tales. The artwork, crafted over 1,500 years ago, has retained its beauty and detail, captivating visitors with its depth, color, and complexity. The serene atmosphere and the intricate carvings are truly mesmerizing, making you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. Ellora Caves, a short drive from Ajanta, offer an equally amazing experience, featuring a mix of Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain monuments. The highlight here is the magnificent Kailasa Temple (Cave 16), a massive monolithic structure that stands as a testament to the incredible skill and devotion of its creators. It's astonishing to think that this temple was carved from a single rock, with every detail meticulously crafted by hand. Each cave has a unique story, showcasing the harmony between different religious traditions. The entire experience is awe-inspiring and educational, offering insight into ancient Indian culture, spirituality, and craftsmanship. The caves are well-preserved, and information panels are available, adding context and helping you appreciate the history behind each site. For anyone interested in cultural heritage, Ajanta and Ellora are treasures that should be high on your travel list.

          Fantastic Tour of Old and New Delhi -- See Places You Can't Easily Explore on Your Own
          This was one of the best tours I have taken over many tours enjoyed internationally. Jai was super responsive, interesting, and responsible. It was obvious how much he cared about us having an immersive experience in Delhi and New Delhi. Jai took us to see places we could not have easily explored on our own. The visit to the spice market was amazing, He introduced us to the best food and Chai in the city. We are grateful for how much he showed us, but also how much he told us about the history and culture of Delhi. Do not miss this tour.

          Wonderful experience
          The tour was wonderful. My guide and driver were prompt in picking me up both days and good about fitting everything in even though my time was limited. Mahabodhi temple in particular was a wonderful sight.

          Must Do in Delhi!!
          We had a wonderful time exploring the beginnings of Delhi with our private guide, Jai Singh! He provided excellent information on the people who influenced the beginnings of Delhi. He provided great context in a beautiful and peaceful part of Delhi!! We did not see any other tourists, during our stroll through the park. This is an off-the-beaten-path Must Do!!!

        Fascinating Heritage which can be explored in a day from Bangalore!. Comfortable pickup on time and then you are taken to the breathtaking temples of "Hoysala" era. The finely crafted temple pillars make you certainly wonder whether the temples are machine lathe cut!

        It's a pure historical place and paradise for art and sculpture loving people.
        Its the temple made by Hoyasala dinesty way back of more than one thousand years!
        Once Belur was their capital also.
        It is 20 km from Hassan city and 175 km from Bangalore.
        KSRTC bus services to cover all these places(including Sravanbelagola as Jain temple) are there in a day trip.

        My wife and I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Jai Singh. We were staying at a hotel not mentioned in his list of pick up sites, but Mr. Singh promptly responded to our request and had his driver pick us up at our hotel for a nominal charge. The vehicle was comfortable and the driver excellent. He knew the locations well. Overall, we had a memorable experience.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
