Esta reseña proviene de un video (reseña hablada).Nuestro grupo viajó a Gujarat y reservamos nuestro viaje con Ali (Liyakat Ali), un guía turístico local y coordinador de Gujarat.
El objetivo de nuestro viaje era visitar el campo, las tribus rurales y auténticas, y los festivales locales — y realmente resultó ser una experiencia maravillosa, todo gracias a Ali.Visitamos festivales tribales en Gujarat, festivales en templos, aldeas tribales rurales, y conocimos a las comunidades Rabari, Jat, tribus del aro nasal y pastores.Ali habla muy bien inglés y también todos los idiomas orales tribales, lo cual es impresionante.Recomendamos encarecidamente Tribal Tour Gujarat India para tours culturales y fotográficos tribales.

I travelled to the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat with my wife and kids and booked our tour with Liaquat Ali (Mr. Ali). It was an unforgettable journey through the villages, culture, and heritage monuments of Gujarat — a region rich in cultural diversity and authentic rural life.Ali knows every place in great detail — from tribal villages and historic temples to hidden countryside communities that most tourists never see. His deep local knowledge made our experience both educational and inspiring.We are very satisfied with Ali’s Heritage and Culture Photo Tour in India.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic rural, heritage, and cultural travel experience in Gujarat, India.

Hello everyone!We are the shutterbugs here — a group of four friends who travelled to Gujarat, and we had a truly fantastic experience. Our main focus was the tribal communities of Gujarat. Tribal Tour Gujarat, led by Ali, was responsible for organizing and guiding us throughout our journey.This experience was incredibly memorable, mainly because we were able to interact closely with many tribal groups — particularly the Rabari, Meer Mir, Ahir, Daneta Jat, Marvada Meghwal, and several others from the westernmost part of Gujarat, known as the Kutch region.We also witnessed some stunning landscapes, including the Rann of Kutch. Each of us experienced something new and unique. The interaction with local people was the most meaningful part of this journey.Our primary focus was to capture powerful images that tell stories — stories of culture, people, and their innocence. Everyone we met was warm, interactive, and cooperative. We especially enjoyed spending time with the children — their innocence and pure energy made the experience unforgettable.We truly experienced humanity in its most beautiful form. We’ve taken many amazing photographs that we will process and share with the world — showcasing the culture and traditions of the people of Kutch, Gujarat.We were guided by Ali, who was extremely cooperative, calm, punctual, and understanding of our objectives. He took care of us in a very professional and thoughtful way, making the entire trip truly memorable.Thank you, Ali!This review is from a video (spoken review).

My purpose for visiting was to photograph the Rabari tribe for my upcoming book — and I’m delighted to say I captured truly beautiful images.Ali is wonderful with people, and the entire tour experience was warm and genuine.
I highly recommend Ali — my trip was incredibly productive and deeply inspiring.

Этот отзыв из видео (устный отзыв).Мы хотели увидеть сельские и племенные деревни в Гуджарате, Индия, и провели замечательное время с Али. Мы познакомились со многими племенами по всему Гуджарату. Западная часть Индии действительно остаётся скрытой, неизведанной и малоизученной — здесь живут уникальные племенные народы. Это идеальное место для культурного фототура по Индии.Это было очень приятное путешествие, и мы получили огромный опыт. Мы узнали и поняли, как живут племенные и деревенские жители. Мы сделали много фотографий, и нам было очень интересно общаться с местными людьми.Это был отличный опыт.
Большое спасибо, Али — Tribal Tour India.Tatiana and Family, RussiaThis review is from a video (spoken review).We wanted to see the countryside and tribal villages in Gujarat, India, and had a wonderful time with Ali. We saw many different tribes across Gujarat. The western side of India is truly hidden, undiscovered, and unexplored — home to many unique tribal communities. It’s a perfect destination for a Cultural Photography Tour in India.It was a very nice tour, and we gained so much experience. We learned and understood how the tribal and village people live. We took many photographs, and it was very interesting for us to meet and connect with the local people.It was a very good experience overall.
Thank you so much, Ali – Tribal Tour India.

This review is from a video (spoken review).We are two friends, Abdullah and Yousuf, cultural photographers from Oman. While searching on Google for a cultural photo tour in India, we found Mr. Ali’s Tribal Photo Tour website. After reading the excellent reviews, we knew he would be our next tour guide in India.We are truly satisfied with Mr. Ali’s tour. He is perfect for a tribal and cultural photography experience in India. Being a photographer himself, he knows exactly what to see, where to go, and how to connect with rural villages and tribal communities.He is the perfect tour guide. We are both highly satisfied and strongly recommend Ali Notiyar (Liyakat Ali) and his Tribal Photo Tours.

I went to India for my TV shoot on tribal lifestyles in the western regions of India — Gujarat and Rajasthan.
Our travel team booked a package tour with Ali, one of the best photo tour leaders in India.We visited India’s vanishing tribal villages — Gujarat and Rajasthan are home to many hidden and beautiful tribes, still unexplored and authentic.
These tribes are truly unique — India’s hidden cultural gems.This was one of my best photography tours in India, all thanks to Ali.
He knows the offbeat tribal villages and local communities perfectly.
Our tour was well-organized and unforgettable, and I highly recommend this lifetime Tribal Photo Tour experience with Ali.

We did a Tribal Tour of Gujarat, India with Ali from Tribal Tour Gujarat, and it was a beautiful and unforgettable experience.Ali is a competent, kind, and reliable guide who always tries his best to meet every need of his guests.
With him, it’s possible to photograph ethnic groups and tribes that are usually impossible to find or meet on your own.My husband Sergio and I highly recommend Ali — he is truly the best guide in Gujarat.

I have been to India many times, and I always prefer traveling with a local guide or fixer who truly knows the countryside, rural villages, and tribal life. I had been following Tribal Tour Gujarat on Instagram for a long time, and the incredible photos shared there inspired me to plan my next visit to India.After contacting Mr. Ali, he sent me a detailed 15-day tribal photography itinerary — exactly what I was looking for. It turned out to be one of the most amazing cultural trips I’ve ever done.Ali, the owner of Tribal Tour Gujarat, guided me through different parts of Gujarat — from Ahmedabad to Patan, Bhuj, Sasan Gir, Junagadh and the Rann of Kutch — exploring the diverse tribal and nomadic communities of the region. We visited Rabari, Bharwad, Jat, Sadhu, and other tribal villages, met farmers, shepherds, and captured incredible portraits of elders and women in their traditional attire.This review I’m giving on my final day at the airport, feeling grateful for such a memorable and meaningful tribal photography experience.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking to discover real rural India, meet authentic tribal communities, and enjoy a perfectly organized Tribal Tour with Ali.

This review is from a video (spoken review).We came from Italy and were looking for something special to do here in Gujarat. We found Ali’s page on Instagram and decided to book our trip. During this journey, we experienced many things that would have been impossible without Ali’s knowledge — he helped us discover the best of Gujarat’s culture and people.It’s impossible to explore the countryside of Gujarat like this without Ali. He speaks excellent English, Hindi, Gujarati, and even the tribal dialects — the oral languages of the nomads.At the end of our tour, we were with the Rabari camel herdsmen, witnessing a camel giving birth — an unforgettable moment and the perfect conclusion to our 10-day trip.Thank you! Book your photography tour with this guide.

Een onvergetelijke rondreis langs de stammen door Gujarat met TribaltourGujaratOnze rondreis door Gujarat met Ali was een ervaring die we nooit zullen vergeten. Dankzij deze ervaren gids, kregen we niet alleen de kans om de prachtige stammen van Gujarat te ontmoeten, maar ook om hun manier van leven echt te begrijpen.
Elke dag bracht iets nieuws — kleurrijke dorpen, eeuwenoude tradities, gastvrije mensen en schitterende landschappen. Ali wist ongelooflijk veel te vertellen over de cultuur, geschiedenis en gebruiken van de verschillende stammen. Zijn passie en respect voor de lokale gemeenschappen waren duidelijk merkbaar, en dat maakte de reis nog bijzonderder.
De organisatie door TribelTourGujarat was uitstekend: alles was goed geregeld, van vervoer tot accommodaties, en er was altijd ruimte voor flexibiliteit en spontane ontmoetingen onderweg. Het voelde nooit als een standaard toer, maar als een echte ontdekkingstocht vol persoonlijke momenten en betekenisvolle gesprekken.
Wie geïnteresseerd is in authentieke cultuur, ambachten en het leven buiten de gebaande paden, kan ik deze reis van harte aanbevelen. Gujarat heeft ons hart gestolen – en dat is grotendeels te danken aan Ali.

We had an amazing 10-day adventure exploring the most remote regions of Gujarat. We encountered many incredible tribes, and thanks to Ali's local connections, we were able to photograph them in their natural settings. Capturing the beauty of the Jat and Rabari tribes was an unforgettable experience. Ali is a warm, kind, and friendly guide who made our journey even more special. Ofcourse highly recommend to every culture Photographer, travellers.

This trip was truly exceptional, with hidden gems that every photographer or real traveler would love. My group, consisting of 5 women and 3 children, was eager for a cultural tour in India. While browsing Instagram, I came across Ali's local guide page, and after discussing our travel plans, he curated a fantastic itinerary for us. The children had a wonderful time enjoyed with the tribe’s kids, making it a unique and unforgettable experience. Ali is an extremely knowledgeable guide, fluent in several local and tribal languages. We are so grateful for this memorable adventure. Thank you, Ali!

I visited Gujarat with Ali for 12 days, and it was an incredible experience. While I've traveled to India before, this trip allowed me to explore parts of the country I had never seen—remote, rural villages in Gujarat. Ali, being a local from one of these villages, provided an authentic and personal experience, taking us to many tribal areas. We stayed in beautiful hotels, and the whole trip was very well-organized. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the true rural and tribal India.

Questa recensione proviene da un video (recensione parlata).Ciao a tutti! Siamo Alberto e Roberta dall’Italia. Siamo alla fine del nostro incredibile viaggio in Gujarat con Ali. È stato fantastico dal primo all’ultimo giorno.Ali ci ha portato in villaggi nascosti e luoghi inesplorati, dove abbiamo avuto l’opportunità di scattare fotografie straordinarie — gruppi etnici e tribù davvero affascinanti del Gujarat.È stato estremamente gentile e si è impegnato molto per aiutarci a trovare alcuni gruppi tribali che in quel periodo non dovevano nemmeno trovarsi nella regione. Gli siamo molto grati — grazie di cuore, Ali!Consiglieremo sicuramente questa esperienza a molte persone in Italia e speriamo di tornare presto.

Instagram: Tribal Tour Gujarat IndiaI had a fantastic 10-day trip with Ali. He is more than just a standard tour guide or fixer — he’s a true travel companion. Ali is also a very talented photographer himself, creating amazing nature and culture photography. Because of that, he understands all the essentials of photography — composition, background, portrait setup, subject, angle, and lighting.The best part is that he takes you to meet the Daneta Jat and other tribal communities that you could never find on your own. These are places deep in the countryside that only Ali knows.I’ve travelled to many countries before, but Ali is the first truly unique guide I’ve ever met. He speaks many languages, including tribal dialects and oral languages — which is truly impressive. He knows where the tribes have migrated, how to find them, and has great local connections.His communication and negotiation skills are excellent — especially when respectfully asking tribal women for permission to photograph them. The tribal people genuinely respect him.For foreign photographers, it would be almost impossible to photograph in these villages without Ali’s help. He is truly the go-to guide in Gujarat.

Instagram: Tribal Tour Gujarat IndiaI just finished a 10-day tour with Ali, and it was truly amazing. We visited many wonderful tribes, and Ali was fantastic with all of them — he made it so easy to photograph everyone. It was a very unique and special trip, and we had a wonderful time.Everything was well-organized and went smoothly. We met many warm and welcoming people who even invited us into their homes. I highly encourage you to consider this trip — it’s a wonderful experience and an incredible opportunity for photography.The trip was great value for money. We visited so many tribes, including the Jat, Rabari, Ahir, Kohli, Meer, Mir, Bharwad, Daneta Jat (big nose ring tribe), Meghwal, and Marvada tribal communities.It was a unique and unforgettable experience — truly a trip of a lifetime.

After reading the Google Map reviews of this travel agency, we booked a short 5-day trip — and it turned out to be truly incredible. I have no words to describe the experience.Ali introduced us to a very unique and unexplored tribe that I had never seen anywhere in India or the world. We met the Daneta Jat, a tribe known for their large nose rings. We spent time with them — they were wonderful, especially the women with the nose rings, who became my best friends.I photographed them and now have the best photo collection from Gujarat. I also visited and photographed the Rabari, Ahir, Kohli, Bharwad, Meer, Mir, and other tribes.Thank you, Ali!

First of all, we would like to thank Ali for this wonderful trip.
This was our second tour with him. Two years ago, we traveled with Ali in Gujarat on a Tribal Tour, visiting Rabari people and charcoal makers of Gujarat. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to do another trip with him — this time in Rajasthan.After attending the Kumbh Mela, we started our tour from Ajmer, exploring Rajasthan and the Nagaur Cattle Fair — a traditional cattle market that we enjoyed even more than the Pushkar Camel Fair we visited a few years ago. Nagaur Cattle Fair is more authentic and less touristic, which we really loved.After that, we visited several villages and Raika Rabari communities, witnessed their migration routes, and met pottery makers of Rajasthan. We truly enjoyed every moment — from the people to the mouth-watering traditional Rajasthani food. Indian local food.We can highly recommend Ali to anyone who wants to experience authentic India.
We’re already looking forward to doing another tour with him in the future.
We wish Ali and Tribal Tour Gujarat India all the very best!
