Hobbiton in Guatemala? Sure! Why not...
"Being a massive LOTR fan, I was in my element. If you are in Antigua, definitely check out this spot! The views are unbelievable and you get to geek out for a few hours."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
What do you love most about Hobbitenango?
"Apart from the obvious LOTR spots and activities, the views are quite simply stunning. If you get lucky like we did, you can see Acetenango and an erupting Fuego."
@callander_shaun's Top Tips
"It can get quite busy so it is best to go in the morning. If it's not already included in your tour, you can book directly through Hobbitenango's office in Antigua, as we did, or make your own way there by Uber/taxi."
Is Hobbitenango worth visiting?
"It definitely is! It's a short 30-minute drive and you can choose a time slot to come back. There are a lot of fun activities and a beautiful area to explore. Your Guatemalan Shire experience awaits..."

What do you love most about Northern India?
"From deserts and mountain ranges to ancient forts and step wells - Northern India is incredibly diverse. "
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Favourite time of year to visit Northern India
"Winter! During summer temperatures get very high so winter (Nov - Feb) is much more comfortable. But don't worry! You'll still enjoy sunny hot weather, it just won't be unbearable. "
@lizaliddy's Top Tips
"Don't be afraid to get amongst it! India is so fun and energetic. There's always a lot going on - which can be overwhelming. But if you're open to it, it can be a really cool experience. "
Benefits of a tour guide for Northern India
"Finding hidden little gems, like the Bahubali Hills in Udaipur. An insider's guide is the best help when it comes to unique experiences and (most importantly) yummy food!"
Must pack items for Northern India
"A local (or international) SIM card. As the most populated country on the planet, India is BUSY. It can be confusing to get around, so having access to maps whenever you need them is a godsend. "

What are your 'must-pack' items for this place?
"Trekking shoes, a climbing stick, water, sunscreen, a cap, a snack and your phone/camera. Also bring a light jacket, because it can get chilly at 3:30 am."
