Ravi

I grew up in Delhi and have a profound love for our country’s amazing outdoors. Starting as a trekking and tour guide in 1990, my journey has taken me to the farthest corners of this incredible subcontinent and I developed a deep appreciation and strong bond with its long and living history, its natural abundance and our unique and unmatched cultural diversity. I believe that India is best experienced by living it, tasting it and mingling with the locals.

I founded our tour operator in 2011 to cater to travelers who wanted to go beyond the ordinary India tour and instead explore our rural areas, take different approaches to visit the cultural triangle (for example on a bike instead), go trekking in the North or discover the wildlife in Kerala in the South. With our tours, we make sure we provide extraordinary experiences to travelers while at the same time giving back to our communities.

Our tours are best suited to those looking for an active, in-depth experience of India.

I was born and raised in the south of India and up until this day, I remain a beach person - I love the sun and tropical climate. But, I also love exploring so sometimes I’d change the tropical heat for our Northern moderate climates to discover more about our unique culture. Nothing brings more excitement to my life and lifts up my spirits like travel.

Our tour operator is specialized on unique trips tailored to individual interests. A type of travel experience that is rare in India, where most tours emphasize ticking off as many main sites as possible, often as group tours in coaches. We like taking a personalized approach to every traveler: private drivers, specialized guides, a real understanding of the culture through our cuisine, getting to know the religion and visiting historical sites. A successful trip for us means seeing travelers experiencing authentic India with its colors, liveliness and raw passion.

Our tours are best suited to those looking for an authentic experience that allows flexibility to discover.

We have just completed a four week trip to India. We are used to travelling independently and this was the first time we have had a driver and guides. The local agent suggested an itinerary based on our initial thoughts, some of which were a little unusual. They worked hard to tweak things as we firmed our plan up. We could not fault the organisation on the ground from the moment we arrived in Delhi to leaving (and to be honest, I usually find something to complain about!). The local agent, Prem, made contact everyday to ensure everything was as expected and even accommodated a late change to our plans when in Varanasi. Price and service were impressive.

Marianna was very efficient and put us in touch with Bharathi for our trip to India. They came up with an itinerary that reflected exactly what we had requested. While we were in India they kept checking that everything was working out as planned and they were very friendly and professional. Thank you very much!

I can only give praise for the service we received during our private tour by car of northern India. Irrespective of the time (sometimes very early in the morning) the driver and a guide were awaiting us with a roomy, clean car. The choice of hotels was generally very good, except one. It can happen. And we took it with a smile considering our overall favourable experience. I can only recommend this company for all it did to make our trip a success.

We had a wonderful trip though parts of South India. Using an agency was a difficult decision, as my partner and I have travelled for decades under our own steam and with so much less advance planning than was involved here. What we appreciated was the possibility to 'offload' some of the on-site organisation that, while undoubtedly giving you an insight into a society and culture, also means time spent on the phone, in a queue or online. This, when you could be out there and experience an aspect of the country, that does NOT remind you of trying to contact the likes of Scottish Power (feel free to replace by any other profiteering untility). Being able to determine hotels ourselves and also to tailor the mix between where we did our own thing and where the local agency booked things for us was great. The local agency got very quickly how we wanted to travel. Where they advised us against options, they really knew what they were talking about and suggested undoubtedly better alternatives. Communication was clear and naturaly friendly. Where we had drivers, they were professional and great to travel with. So we were very happy all around. If I would be looking for possible icings on the cake, it would have been the inclusion of cultural events, or maybe just pointers to where to look for what (such as carnatic classical music or theyyem performances). But then maybe this is the old conundrum that it is only authentic if you stumble across it...........

It is a good travel company. It provides adequate information about various travel destinations. Well, here are some observations: Many are happy to learn about unknown cities and tourist spots through it. One can also learn about various travel packages through it. One can choose from budget to luxury hotels, inns and lodges. Yes, a majority of these resting places are equipped with modern amenities. This tour operator offers some nice travelogues. One gets thorough support from it!

The Tailor made travel service is an excellent aid when planning a trip to a new destination. I got a very quick response from a representative, the local company I was connected to was very efficient and communicative, and together we arranged a trip that ticked all our boxes. It would have been difficult to achieve our trip without out their expertise. And, it was absolutely free! I would recommend this service to anyone and will use it again.
