Why travel with us

Real India, opened by the people who live it

We are not a booking website. We are a small team of Indian travel designers and guides who build every journey by hand — matching you to the right season, the right guide, and the places most travellers never find.

Local guides, not scripts

Every guide is born and raised in the region they show you — history told as living memory.

Private & fully tailored

No fixed groups. Your pace, your interests, your budget — every itinerary is yours alone.

On the ground, 24/7

A real person on an Indian phone number, from your first question to your flight home.

Planning a trip to India — your questions answered

Straight answers to the questions travellers ask us most.

How much does a private India tour cost?

Our private, guided tours start from about ₹6,500 per person for a full-day city tour and from ₹42,000 per person for a 6-day Golden Triangle trip. Longer journeys such as Rajasthan or a honeymoon range from ₹74,000 to ₹1,18,000 per person. Every itinerary is quoted to your exact dates, hotels and group size.

What is the best time to visit India?

October to March is the best time to visit most of India, with pleasant, dry weather across the north, Rajasthan and the south. The Himalayas (Ladakh) are best from May to September. We recommend the ideal window for the specific regions on your route.

How many days do you need to see India?

For a first visit, 6 to 10 days is ideal — enough for the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur) or a focused region like Rajasthan or Kerala. Two to three weeks lets you combine north and south. We tailor the length entirely to your time and interests.

Is India safe for tourists?

India is a welcoming destination for millions of visitors each year. On our tours you travel privately with a vetted local driver and guide, stay in hand-picked hotels, and have 24/7 support on an Indian phone number — so you're looked after from arrival to departure.

Are your India tours private and customisable?

Yes — every tour is completely private (just your group) and fully customisable. You choose the pace, hotels, add-on cities and interests, from food and festivals to wildlife and photography. Tell us your dream and we design it from a blank page.
