"Our trip to India and Nepal went beyond our expectations. Both of our guides, Ravi (India) and Birju (Nepal) went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional. Lodging was fantastic. Food was incredible. Sites were breathtaking. We learned so much about culture, and we saw tigers!"

"Nuna, our guide, was AMAZING! She was a great representative of Friendly Planet. This was my first trip with Friendly Planet, and now I know why my mother has taken several because it was a really stress-free trip abroad that allowed us to see everything Thailand had to offer!"

"The highlights of this trip were well chosen and well paced. From city tours, river excursions, and historically significant attractions to natural wonders, rice fields, and a modern amusement park, this trip was packed with everything. Friendly Planet always delivers on the best guides, too. The hotels were high quality and comfortable. The staff in every hotel were warm, friendly, and helpful. I wish I could have stayed longer!"

"This was an absolutely INCREDIBLE experience! It's also designed in the perfect order with the city aspect in Singapore first, then the low-key, spiritual vibe of Bali at the end! Highly recommend the Nusa Dua extension as it ends at a beautiful beach resort to truly allow down time before coming home. Once again, Friendly Planet has provided an unforgettable experience with wonderful guides!"

* Advertised prices may include an "Instant Savings" discount and/or sale discount, available for a limited time. Prices reflect these discounts. Advertised prices are per person, based on double occupancy; single occupancy rooms may be available for an additional charge. Advertised prices are the best available based on the least expensive travel dates, departure city, and other options, and do not include optional excursions or other optional items. Your total price will vary based upon the dates, flights, and other options you select during the booking process.

† The Carefree Booking policy is not travel insurance and only applies to a new booking—defined as booking without the use of funds on file from a previous cancellation. With our Carefree Booking policy, if you book one of our scheduled departures and decide later not to travel for any reason, you can transfer all payments you've made excluding the cost of any issued flight tickets, towards another available departure date or package, with no change fees or penalties.

Alternately, you can choose to receive a future travel credit for all payments made, excluding the cost of any issued flight tickets; or you can choose to receive a refund for that same amount, minus the deposit, per person future travel credit.

You may use these credits anytime, however they must be used or transferred within 5 years of your booking.

The Carefree Booking policy only applies to your original booking—limiting rebookings to one. Subsequent bookings will be subject to standard cancellation penalties. Additionally, any coupon or discount (other than our Instant Savings) does not transfer from the cancelled booking and therefore will not be applied to the new booking.

Travel protection premiums may be credited to your new tour provided: no claim is filed; (no vendor penalties such as Air, sea or rail etc have been incurred); and your new trip departs within 1 year of the cancellation of your original tour.

Valid for bookings made on or after September 23, 2022 Offer may not be available on all packages, including private and custom group departures and Biblical Journeys. Changes or cancellations requested after final payment due date are subject to our regular change and cancellation fees & policies. For more information and some additional restrictions, see our terms & conditions.

†† $199 deposit available on select packages. Valid for new bookings only. Changes to your package, departure date, or flights may require an increased deposit. If you select our optional travel protection plan, the premium will be added to your deposit. See additional terms & conditions.
