What People Say About Us |
|

I just wanted to let you know that Barry and I
are now safely home after enjoying what can only
be described as the holiday of a lifetime. The
holiday which you and the Creative Travel team
put together following the family wedding in
Mamallapuram meant that our three weeks in India
were fantastic. So many different sights and
experiences!! And it was very reassuring to be
contacted by the Creative staff from time to
time to make sure everything was going well. The
hotels we stayed in were all good – but we
especially enjoyed the Jungle Retreat in the
Mudumalai National Park and the wildlife
reserve. We went on a couple of safaris and saw
elephants, sloth bears, cibets, bison, wild boar
and several types of deer including the minute
mouse deer. But the highlight was catching site
of a leopard just after it had killed a deer. We
even had a visitation to our bungalow
accommodation by a huge bull elephant who just
wandered through the retreat (we saw the
evidence from a video camera the next morning
and were amazed that he hadn’t woken us!)
We also really enjoyed the luxurious Kumarakon
Lake Resort and Xandari Pearl hotels and the
houseboat trip – all of which were so relaxing.
We’re really hoping to go back again in the
future and sample some of the sights of Northern
India, but for now will live on the memories
(and photos) that we have.

Creative turns 40! |
|
|
Today is a significant milestone in our history.
Reaching this milestone is an achievement for any
organisation. We are so proud, excited and blessed for
so many achievements we have had along the journey.
We would like to share a bit of the history where we
started from. For from our past evolves our future.
Creative Travel was founded by Ram Kohli in 1977. He
wasn’t driven by the desire to run a business, but
rather a passion to show the world the best India had to
offer. Ours is a story of a vision anda passion that
went against all conventional norms. Ours is a very
personal story. |

|
|
|
We are delighted to announce that earlier week the
Indian government liberalised the e-Tourist Visa scheme
with features that have been requested by the industry
for many months. The main changes include increasing the
validity of the visa from 30 to 60 days, increasing the
time of application from 34 to 120 days giving an option
for a double entry and now also allows business visas to
be issued online. |
