At present all our tours are of fixed itinerary and duration. Unlike many operators we directly arrange all the tour services ourselves without using any agents. This makes sure we are confident in the quality of the service offered and allows us to focus on our unique local community connections in the areas visited.
Nonetheless, all private tours can certainly be customised
Yes, we do offer private tours, but the price will need to be increased accordingly. Please get in touch for a quote!
All our tours start and end from cities with international airports, making them easy to reach from abroad and within India. For details on the exact starting point of each tour, please refer to the itinerary map provided with the tour information. This will help you see the best arrival options based on your chosen route.
We stay in well-appointed mid range hotels, locally owned where possible. All hotels have hot water and most have Wi-Fi. Single passengers will share a twin room with another group member of the same gender if required. You are welcome to pay extra to ensure you have a room to yourself throughout the trip – please get in touch for costs. Upgrades to 4* accommodation are available at an additional cost for the private tours.
Some meals are included in the tour. A welcome dinner is provided, and breakfast is available daily at our overnight accommodations. Other meals will be at your own expense, allowing you the flexibility to explore local dining options.
The package includes several activities and entry fees. We also have additional suggestions for activities that aren’t included in the tour price. Please see the itinerary tab to see the included and optional activities.

Yes absolutely! Our tours are minimum 2 people but for private tours we can look at providing dates that completely suit you. If you are interested in a shared tour we can often also still offer your preferred dates, guarantee the tour and invite other passengers to join.
All our tours ensure easy international & domestic flight connections and hence, we do not arrange such flights. However, if there are any flights included within your tour itinerary, we do organise these and they are included within the tour cost.
