I've had the pleasure of meeting Monty and Harshita in Jaipur. Their whole family welcomed me into their home as an old friend. They taught me how to make aloo masala, coconut rice, chapati and samosa. We had a lot of fun and interesting conversations about Indian culture and traditions, and they even showed me their wedding video!
I went to a block hand print workshop, got my hand tattooed with henna, got a flower necklace and awesome homemade food. If you come to Jaipur, definitely reach out to them! Whether you need a simple restaurant recommendation, want to plan an itinerary or even want to hand print your own fabric, they'll help you out with a smile on their faces. Thank you friends, I hope we'll meet again for even more adventures together!
Monty is the type of guide that shows you Indian culture and has experiences that are different from what other guides offer. He and his wife Harshita, and his entire team, treated me with great kindness and sympathy. I felt that I was traveling around Jaipur with dear friends.
I took cooking classes, drew with henna on my hands, went to the Hand Block Print factory, ate Samosas, walked the streets of Jaipur and learned a lot about Indian culture.
In addition, they have several other types of tours that I did not have the opportunity to do, but I will definitely return to India in the future to do that. Thank you Ultimate Urban Adventures for making my trip even more special.
I went on a blockprinting tour with Monty! It was much more interesting than I thought it would be. As a tourist it can be hard finding authentic places, but this really was one of those gems! It was very astounding to see the precision the workers worked with! And the most fun part was printing it ourselves, which was good fun, and gave me a lovely souvenir to remember! Monty was super knowledgeable and a great guide. I can fully recommend him!
Mr Monty was very knowledgeable regarding block printing and Jaipur. He gave us a lot of tips for our itinerary, places to eat,shop etc. The block printing experience was awesome, especially as we could see the artisans at work. On one particular fabric we saw 4 artisans working in order. It gave us the lot of insight into the work involved. We also did our own block printed scarf which was then packed for us to bring home. This is definitely a value for money workshop. A holiday becomes all the more memorable with an experience.
Monty is a knowledgeable and experienced tour guide. We first travelled with Monty on the recommendation of others, and have subsequently recommended Monty to many of our friends. Monty shares his love of travel, and of his home country, with those fortunate enough to be under his wing. He organises everything, and will also plan a trip based on your individual requirements. We love India, and when we are able to go back there we will be calling on Monty Bhatt.
God! if your time is limited (or not) and you seeking for an unrepeatable adventure in the heart of india this group is highly recommended!I joined them 2-3 months ago during my long trip to india:) As i say , you'll never can feel a country unless you meet locals, and this group are amazing , knowing so much places that other tours may not and access to some areas is only possible if you know the local people there! to sum up you won't have better option than Ultimate Urban Adventures especially if you have a stay in Jaipur:)
We had so much fun with Monty on our walking food tour in Jaipur. In addition to eating delicious food at spots that we otherwise would not have found ourselves, we learned so much about Indian culture and history. Monty is a wealth of information. He has also traveled extensively so brings a unique perspective to the table AND is very in tune to knowing what his guests are looking for. We enjoyed spending our afternoon with Monty and could have talked to him for hours. The only downside for us was that we met Monty on our last day in India - if we had known him sooner, we would have signed up for his other experiences!
If you ever come to Jaipur, this is the best travel agency you can contact ! Best experiences from cooking class, to handblock paintings, heritage walks, ... Monty and his friends will take care of you as friends and create memories you will never forget, a true experience with local persons who love their country and will happily share their passion with you. You will get a professional and high quality service. I feel very lucky I had the chance to meet them during my stay in Jaipur and can only recommend you to meet them !
Joined another of Monty's curry cookery sessions online between Northumberland in the UK and Jaipur in India. As before an excellent session with great recipes and very tasty end results! Monty makes it a fun and interesting experience and explains the whole process very clearly. Already thinking about another session later in the year
I toured India with Monty of Ultimate Urban Adventures and it was an amazing experience. His thoughtful and knowledgeable guidance deepened and enriched the experience. We will definitely use Ultimate Urban Adventures when we go back to India.
