I'm planning a trip to India with Indian Holiday Pvt. Ltd. Haven't been able to find anything on TA yet. Does anyone know ANYTHING about them?

& is there any way to get from BANDHAVGARH (Tiger Reserve) to DELHI with a morning arrival (to catch an outbound 11am flight?)

Thank you in advance.

OOPS, I meant haven't been able to find anything on FODORS yet

In February there wasn't any way to get from Bandhavgarh to Delhi easily. I would be very surprised if that's changed. I've described possible ways to get to Bandhavgarh here:

You'll have to devote a day to getting back to Delhi.

I would skip IHPL. We had lots of problems with them. Everything was fine leading up to the trip, but once we were on the trip the problems started. The hotels were not as promised and our tour didn't include all of the stops that were included on our itinerary.

I will give you one example. We stayed on a "luxury" boat and were kept up all night because the rats were trying to claw their way into our cabin.

We didn't save any money by using them (once you figure in all of the added costs that were supposed to be included but weren't).

They are rated by some of the India travel agencies. I verified IHPL with them before our trip, but after all of our problems, I have to wonder if the travel agencies don't just say any local company is good.

The Gondwana Express starts from Katni railway station at 17:20 hrs & reaches Delhi (Nizamudin station) at 07:20 the next morning. It has AC - I tier. Now Katni from Bandhavgarh is about 60 miles & takes about 2.3 hrs by car.
However, it would be advisable not to bank to much on the arrival of the train in time, in case.
Happy hunting!
