Si vous aller à Mumbai, n'hésitez pas à faire une petite escapade à Aurangabad avec Akvin tourism. Vincent, guide français, passionné de l'histoire religieuse, vous fera découvrir les grottes d'Ellora, d'Ajanta et toute la grande région d'Aurangabad comme nul autre (sens de l'humour inclus) . Cette petite agence éco-responsable travaille également dans la revalorisation du patrimoine religieux du village de Chartana situé à trois heures de route d'Aurangabad. Cette visite m'a bouleversé par l'authenticité du regard des villageois à notre égard. Nous avons visité de nombreux temples, pris le thé dans la maison du professeur et mangé chez un villageois. Et n'oublions Akash l'autre maillon de l'agence qui parle un anglais impeccable et dont la famille loue un petit appartement où nous avons eu le bonheur de prendre le repas du soir avec tous. J'ai beaucoup appris sur l'Inde. Merci Vincent et Akash et succès avec Akvin tourism. André QuébecAkash from Akvin Tourism helped me organize my trip here. He is very helpful and very honest in how he does business. I also appreciated how flexible he, the guide, and the driver was! They seemed very focused on my experience and ensuring that I enjoyed my time. Thank you, Akvin :)

Sans lui, l'essentiel des grottes nous auraient échappé. La visite des 3 capitales nous a donné un aperçu de l'histoire d'Aurangabad. La dernière journée, dans le village de Charthana et de ses temples, nous montre les difficultés de conservation et de restauration de ses temples où les habitants se recueillent encore. Cette journée fut aussi une immersion dans un village où les conditions de vie sont tellement différentes de celles des occidentaux. Akvin tourism a aussi été d'une grande aide pour le voyage, aide pour réserver le train, accueil à la gare, conseils pour le voyage, etc. Merci Diane du Québec
