L'Uttarakhand, treks & sacred pilgrimages
The Uttarakhand, ‘country of the north’ in Sanskrit, is famous for the beauty of its magnificent wooded and mountainous landscapes of the Himalayan range, ideal for trekking enthusiasts. The glaciers of Uttarakhand gave birth to two of the seven sacred rivers of India, the Ganges and the Yamuna, making this state of India a holy land of pilgrimages. The most famous of these is known as ‘Chhota Char Dham’ (the four small abodes) which correspond to the sites of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. Haridwar, at the west of Uttarakhand, is also home to the incredible Kumbh Mela, the largest spiritual gathering in the world.

Merveilles du Karnataka
"Lors de notre voyage au Karnataka j’ai découvert des lieux et temples vraiment fabuleux. Les homestays était tous différents avec à chaque fois un accueil chaleureux dans des endroits très calmes pour un repos bien mérité. Notre chauffeur, Raj était toujours à l’écoute pour nos demandes et disponible. Ce voyage avec Mathini Travel nous a permis de découvrir plein de beaux endroits à l’écart des zones trop touristiques.”
JOURNEY TO THE ROCK-CUT TEMPLES
"We are back home after exciting time in India. I am grateful to Mathini Travel for expert tour arrangements which commenced on October 7, 2019. We did Maharastra and Vrindavan and Mathura. We didn’t have much idea about where and how to do the tour. Mathini took the interest to organize the tours with minor details. For example arranged the days of tour accommodating closing days of Ellora and Ajanta Caves. We wouldn’t have done such pleasant tour without her. She was very flexible about payments. Our flight which we booked at the end of the tour was postponed by a day, but she made sure the Airport transport was rearranged for our convenience. My past tour of Rajasthan with her prompted me to get her help again. I have no doubt that she has great first hand knowledge and expertise of touring India. I look forward to next trip with her! Wishing her Best in her Tour services."
