Eso es, llegamos a Page,dormimos, al día siguiente vamos a Anthelope y horseshoe y por la tarde-noche nos vamos a Flagstaff. Nos levantamos en Flagstaff y ese día entramos en GC (aquí es donde tengo mis dudas sobre qué hacer). Por la tarde-noche cogemos rumbo a Kingman, donde hacemos noche.
El día de antelope te da tiempo de ver cosas en gc hasta el atardecer, antes de ir a flagstaff
Hola, yo recomiendo esa tarde ver la zona de Desert view Drive porque tiene los miradores para parar mejor yendo en sentido hacia el oeste. Después de esa primera parte se puede hacer al día siguiente Hermits Rests y Trail of Times (visitor center), lo único es que después de GC vería aún de pasada Williams, porque se pasa por delante.
Efectivamente ya vi en Maps que salen de puntos muy diferentes. En un día no hay mucho tiempo, piensa que está desert view Drive en coche (mejor en sentido hacia el oeste por la posición de los miradores), Hermits Rests en bus, y luego andarse todo el Trail of times en el centro. No hay mucho tiempo para todo. Piensa que en Hermits Rests el bus a veces hay que esperar porque va lleno y tiene muchas paradas (cada una un mirador). En realidad para sendas descendientes tal vez no tengas mucho tiempo.
Luego la posibilidad de ir a North rim, pero eso es un palizón de km extra Lo hice una vez, hay menos gente y más verde pero el desvío a North rim es tremendo.
Saludos
No no, el North rim esta descartado desde el inicio, no hay tiempo... Se hara lo que se pueda entre 5 am y 20 pm... Un saludo

...in Spanish-speaking travelers, and even better, they serve you in Spanish. For us, this agency was the best solution, and not just for us; we met two other groups during the trip who were also with Mahendra and Shyam, and their experience was very similar to ours.
Requirements from Mahendra and Shyam: having your plane tickets purchased and a copy of your passport. The payments for the trip are made in two phases: the first half as soon as you arrive in India and they pick you up at the airport, and the second half when there are 3 or 4 days left before the end of the trip.
The entire trip was a truly enriching experience. In other trips we’ve taken, we’ve encountered agencies that book you some good hotels and others that you don’t know how to handle, but in the case of Mahendra and Shyam, all the hotels were perfect, beautiful, and clean.
We met with Mahendra and Shyam during the trip (without interfering much) to ensure we were traveling comfortably, and they gave us a phone number with WhatsApp to contact them in case of an emergency.
Traveling through India was actually very easy, thanks to the fact that we had a car with a driver, specifically our driver Kamlesh Kumar, a 23-year-old young man who, when you meet him, doesn’t seem so young—not because he looks older, but because of the professionalism and respect he conveys. This was our second trip through India, so we’ve had other drivers with whom we have no complaints, but Kamlesh is someone who instills both confidence and safety, and anyone who has visited India knows that driving there is no easy task; you have to be fully alert at all times.
We had planned a list of the main cities in Rajasthan that we wanted to explore. Each morning, or sometimes the night before, we would share with Kamlesh the places we wanted to visit so that he could organize the itinerary in the best possible way, considering the location of each site. We often asked Kamlesh to share his opinion with us regarding some information we had obtained from the internet, something he did with great respect and honesty, which proved to be very helpful in enhancing the experience in those places.
The only place we weren’t satisfied with how it was organized was Varanasi. Not so much because of Mahendra, but because in that city specifically (the only one on the entire trip), the people responsible for providing information were the managers of the Heritage Inn Hotel. The hotel isn’t bad, it’s being renovated, but when we were visiting Varanasi, the Ganges was very high, and many ghats were submerged and couldn’t be seen. There were places to view the crematories and fire ceremonies, which were not the usual ones, but we weren’t provided with the information. The locals were not clear enough, and we managed to see a little bit, thanks to other travelers. Very poor job by the Heritage Inn Hotel in Varanasi, a very unprofessional and disappointing experience, especially since we had taken an overnight train and booked an internal flight to Delhi just to see that city and what it had to offer, and it was not a good experience for us or for other travelers we met there, also traveling with Mahendra, who had the exact same experience.
Exploring India can indeed be a true adventure, but if you know clearly which places you want to visit and have someone like Mahendra and Shyam Tours and our driver Kamlesh to make your daily life so much easier, traveling through India becomes like opening a... read more...
