<p>I recommend the services of Rare Holidays, and his company, to anyone who is planning a trip to India. In my case, as the director of Asian Studies at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, and as the leader of a fieldtrip made in May 2000 (with my wife, who is also a professor, one graduate assistant, and nine American students), Rare Holidays first followed to the letter my instructions for a Buddhist-focused trip across northern India, from New Delhi to Calcutta, and then booked excellent accommodations and additional experiences for us, even accompanying us cross-country, to make sure that our needs were met. Our trip was challenging in terms of the intense heat and humidity of summer, as well as in the combination of culture shock and awe-inspiring beauty that India automatically offers , but Rare Holidays was always there with practical and professional assistance to ensure that we met the challenge with a minimum of difficulty. Our comfort and safety were his constant concerns. I look forward to other fieldtrips in the future under his management.</p>
