A superb morning spent with Kunal and a delight to have him introduce all that lives in and around the Chambal river. Highly recommended and as memorable an experience as any on the whole trip!

It was an amazing experience as Kunal was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife we’ve seen and super friendly! You can really tell that the whole approach is about offering incredible quality and money is less than an afterthought. We got to see Gharials, Red-Crowned Roofed Turtles, egyptian vultures, Bonei Eagles and dozens more species!

We got a chance to cruise around the Cursed Chambal River with none other than Kunal Jain from Travel With! It was a mesmerising experience and we were elated to find so many species of birds along with a few of the reptiles like the Gharials as well even on a Foggy Day with almost 0 chances of viewing. Thanks to Kunal and his third eye, we could see so much of life inside the Chambal. He was so informative and a perfect story teller! We listened and enjoyed the beautiful ride over his amazing and knowledgable tales. I truly recommend going on a safari with him. His knowledge is Par Excellence.

Travelling with our wonderful naturalist Kunal Jain, was an excellent first experience of doing a tour "off the beaten track". We learnt about the fauna and the history of civilization around the Chambal river (and what makes it a unique eco-system). He shares the professional pics of animals that we saw and just adds to a lovely memory of enjoying nature in the wild. We had also a fantastic "Indiana Jones" moment touring the Bateshwar temple complex ruins in Morena with him. Kunal arranged a seamless end to end tour experience from Delhi-Agra-Sariska-Delhi, including glamping and tiger spotting days. This was a remarkable family adventure!

We had an amazing day on the Chambal River and at Bateshswar Temples with Kunal from Travel With. His enthusiasm and love for the natural surroundings was infectious. We saw over 30 varieties of wildlife including the much anticipated and critically endangered Gharial. His knowledge and professionalism was 1st class. We learned so much! It was a perfect blue, clear day. Totally magical!

We had a wonderful time with Kunal. He knew a lot, not just about the ghariyals, crocs, turtles and birds of the region, but also the history and mythology of the Chambal river and region. He took care of the logistics for us quite seamlessly. Very professional! Also a really good photographer! Look forward to more trips with Kunal.

I loved getting outside the busy cities and tourist attractions to see unique animals, vegetation, and landscapes. It was astonishingly quiet and peaceful on the river. We saw many crocodiles, turtles, a desert fox, a dolphin, and many different kinds of birds throughout the entire trip. Kunal was a great guide with a strong passion for wildlife and a keen eye. The provided binoculars were a great touch and allowed you to get see just how amazing the animals in their natural habitat are. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves to immerse themselves in nature.

Was part of the "Beyond Taj"trip, which was planned by Kunal. Amazing trip covering Bhateswar temples, Chausath Yogini Temple, Mitaoli, Garhi Padhavali, Holipura havellis, Heritage walk through the gallis of Agra, and not to forget the Water safari - boat ride through the cursed river of Chambal valley. People always think, Agra is all about Taj and some more monuments, but I am sure if you plan for this trip, your viewpoint will change forever. Having Kunal as our guide was an added bonus as he shared his insights and experiences, and much more during this trip. Thank you Kunal for arranging our stay at Awatar Mansion, another gem from this trip. Arranging the locals like Arun uncle, Shantanu to take us through the history of these places. Thank you again for such a lovely trip Kunal!!. Looking forward to many more such trips.

The "Agra Beyond the Taj trip" covering the Holipura Havelis, temples at Morena, Chambal river safari and lesser known aspects of Agra was wonderful. We saw lots of wildlife on the Chambal and it was fascinating to learn about the lesser known parts of Agra city and the surrounding region. Kunal is friendly, knowledgeable and hospitable which made the trip very enjoyable. Shantanu, who took us on a guided tour of the lesser known aspects of Agra, is a fountain of historical knowledge and enthusiasm. We had enough time to visit the Taj during the day and night, as well as the "Baby Taj" ourselves which was wonderful. It would be nice if a couple of the traditionally popular Agra monuments can be added as they are always a treat to visit and explore more in-depth and learn more about their history, even if you have seen them before.

The experience was like never before. This safari is way apart from usual jungle safari, but even more thrilling. Mr Kunal nicely briefed us about chambal river and the wildlife in it, especially different types of turtle, gharial and crocodiles. We had no idea before about so many types of turtle and crocs. In the safari we saw many gharials, crocodile and three types of turtle ( hard shell and two types of soft shell ). We were able to take good photos of them also. I am a bird enthusiast and was very happy to spot Indian skimmer and black bellied tern, both of them are endangered species. Kunal also showed us a desert fox, which we could spot after many efforts, but he shares his photos of the trip, which is really another big plus point. Many other varieties of birds were also there. Mr Kunal shared his experience about how he started this exceptional type of safari which is really impressive. The last thing that we want to mention - it was sad to see a lot of plastic packets and other things polluting the area. Also, a lot of construction works are going on in the particular place. It is threatening to the animals and we fear that the wildlife will be deprived of their natural habitat. Authorities should be aware about this

A tour to Chambal river was one of the best moments of our trip to Agra! Kunal was very knowledgeable about the wildlife there , as well as about the history of that place. He also new the best spots for watching wild animals and took amazing professional pictures that he later shared with us. Kunal also arranged very nice and knowledgeable guides in other sights we visited, like Taj Mahal, “Baby Taj”, “Agra fort” etc. If I happen to visit Agra again I will definitely ask Kunal’s help with organising our trip.

Kunal organized a tour guide for Agra and the Taj Mahal for us and then he took us on the Chambal River. It was lots of fun and Kunal's enthusiasm and knowledge of the birds and wildlife made for a great outing. Get away from the crowds and enjoy some peace and quiet on the beautiful river. Kunal also organized our trip to other parts of India and at each place he arranged a great guide and helpful tips on restaurants and places to see.

We booked Kunal for one day as we had plenty of time in Agra. He took us to the temples of Morena and to Chambal river. Particular at the river safari we saw crocodiles and birds all over the place. Both were exciting trips were Kunal showed as knowledgeable and easy going guide. It proved true that Agra has much more to offer than just the Taj. We highly recommend him.

Our trip on the river with Kunal, spotting and learning about the unique and vulnerable wildlife, made our trip to the Agra area so much more fascinating than just seeing the standard tourist sites. Kunal’s passion for conservation and sustainable, off-the-beaten-path tourism makes his approach to visiting India really enjoyable and memorable. He made every detail of our multi-day Agra visit work seamlessly. We hope we’re back in India again to explore more with him.

My Family & I just returned from a fabulous Chambal River Safari experience with Naturalist Kunal Jain. What a refreshing little trip. Much needed R & R with the incredibly passionate Kunal about the river creatures and the area in general. Pleasant hour drive through lush mustard fields from central Agra to the serene Chambal with its breathtaking topography of ravines and fields. Throughout the drive, Kunal passionately gave us information on why he does what he does with keen sense of the connect to the history behind the river. The river safari was definitely above our expectations and the abundant life in it and around it was a pleasant experience. Thank You Kunal for a worthwhile trip and looking forward to more such across India.

I was a bit sceptical about taking this safari but went along. Soon realised I was very glad I took the Safari. Kunal was very knowledgable and it was quite apparent this work was very close to his heart. He explained the details of the wild life we expected to see on our journey to the starting point of safari. The Safari was in the boat which was in prime condition and safe for the nine of us to go together. Saw many Ghariyals and crocodiles along with various types of turtles in their natural habitat. We also saw many type of birds and were given detailed information for each by our very keen and knowledgeable guide Kunal. The Safari time just flew away and we came back much wiser after a very enjoyable trip. I would strongly recommend it for all.

The entire river safari was amazing with multiple sightings of rare species, birds, and crocodilians. Kunal was a very well informed tour guide and ensured we had a fun, educational and awe-inspiring safari! He was a pleasure to interact with. I look forward to more tours with him and his network of guides.

The river Safari was an amazing experience. Kunal is a great guide, but he is much more than that. His passion for nature and especcially for the turtle species, diffferent crocodiles and other animals in and in the surroundings of Chambal River made this safari very special. I learned a lot from him during this afternoon and I’m so grateful for that. If you want to see a lot of water wildlife you really must do this safari with Kunal and his kind colleges on the boat. Besides that he is an awfully nice person, his English is perfect and his working experience in several countries in the world make him a wonderful companion.

This tour was for sure a "once in a lifetime tour". The Chambal river is an almost untouched ecosystem as it just opened up for tourism. We went there late October with my parents (78-80 years) and kids (7-11) and were not disappointed. Getting into the boat was a bit challenging for my parents as both of them are not so mobile anymore but the team assisted us perfectly. The tour itself was easy peasy and we saw much more than we expected. The area was so full of wildlife, that we didn’t know where to look as the wildlife was all around us. Peacocks greeted us when we got off the car, once at the boat there was a little crocodile already.. One the boat tour we saw Gharials, Dolphins, jumping fish, all kind of turtles and birds and at the end an amazing sunset. Unbelievable, and truly a lifetime experience. Glad Kunal made good pictures so we will always remember this great day! Thanks Kunal & Team
