The Indian sub-continent throws up a million choices of where to go and what to see. Before we help you make those tricky decisions, let us make one big decision easier. Choosing us.

Destination Expertise

Our expertise stems from our personal connections with this land. Its peoples, its ancient cultures, its jungles. Its cities, its villages. Its forts and palaces, its grand temples and mosques. Its cuisines.

We believe no one knows a land better than those who’ve lived there and travelled its length and breadth. Travelled solo, with small kids, with teenage kids. Travelled in cars, on trains, on planes. As we have.

Explore the way you like

We bring the ideas, you choose how to travel.

For complete independence and personalisation, nothing beats our Tailor-made holidays. We have lots of itineraries that you can pick as-is, or use as inspirations to design your holiday.

Our Group Tours are great if you prefer exploring with like-minded fellow travellers. These are great value, offer security and company for solo travellers, and are above all, great fun.

If you wish to travel as a family or friends’ group, we can offer any of our itinerary ideas and Group Tours as a Private Tour, or design one from scratch for your group.

Our insightful and enlightening Expert-led Tours help you experience the wonders of the region in a completely unique and immersive way.

Thank you so much for arranging a most memorable silver wedding anniversary trip to north India. Our visit to the Taj was the highlight. Your expert guide brought history to life. Loved our relaxed stay in Agra, we had no idea there was so much to see here. Pre-covid, one of our friends had visited Agra (through another operator, I hasten to add) and had a rushed visit to the Taj. They were so jealous (in a friendly way, of course) when we shared our experience and photographs.

Just returned from Ranthambhore, and wanted to say how impressed we were by Harvinder, our guide. His knowledge of the jungle was amazing. Once he took us away from other waiting vehicles to a quiet spot where he believed the tiger would cross to go to a water hole. We waited taking in the beauty of the jungle, and then the tiger came exactly where Harvinder had predicted. It crossed the dry stream bed slowly barely a few feet away. We couldn't believe our luck and we were the only jeep there!!! Thanks to Harvinder's expertise, in 4 days we saw 9 tigers and a pair of leopards (which we were told was very rare).

When we first spoke to Sumit regarding our holiday, we shared a list of places to see. He asked us about the kind of experience we really wanted, and rather than just sticking with our ideas, he offered some great alternatives that we had not known about. All through the planning and booking process, the communication was excellent. The holiday itself went smoothly, and all drivers and hotels were very nice.

Our trip to central India was a great success. We saw more tigers in a week than we could've possibly dreamt of, and came back with so many wonderful memories. The guides and the hotels were great too. Cannot wait to go back!!!

We were very impressed by our southern India tour. We were taken good care of by the guides and our driver, everyone was ever so helpful. The ancient temples were magnificent. We look forward to travelling with you again, maybe Sri Lanka next time?

My wife and I had arranged a trip to India with another travel agency who unfortunately couldn't really give us ideas of how to best use the free time in our itinerary. Luckily, we met Sumit socially after we had booked, and he was kind enough to look at our itinerary and made some great suggestions. He recommended visiting this really nice hotel in Delhi that served an excellent afternoon tea, and he was spot on. Thanks to his recommendation, that evening turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip.

I had been thinking of visiting India for a long while, but I wasn't sure how best to spend my time there and make the most of my budget. I was really glad to have consulted Sumit. He had lots of useful ideas on where to go and what to see, and with his planning assistance I had the most wonderful time in north India. I wish I could go back again soon...

Sumit was really helpful in planning our India trip. We had a great time and came back with very happy memories. We really liked Sumit's idea of travelling by train. That was not only very convenient for our itinerary, but was a wonderful experience in itself.
James Baldock
On our trip to India I was concerned about asking for food suitable for my specific dietary needs. Sumit understood my concerns and told me to ask for dishes that met a specific local religious diet, and it worked like a charm in restaurants we visited. The people instantly knew exactly what I needed and it saved a lot of stress and effort in having to spell my needs out.
