Who We Are
Why choose us
We are not merely travel guides or travel planners - we are cultural custodians of South India with academic backgrounds in history, anthropology, architecture and other relevant fields. We are extremely passionate about our region, our culture and traditions, and have a deep love for travel and showing of our nook of of the woods. We strongly believe that travel must be truly sustainable and money must directly reach the locals of any region we visit. We believe that travel can drive positive change and conservation.
We deliver unparalleled adventures and once in a lifetime experiences for our guests.
Adventures you will cherish for a lifetime.
Our itineraries make you really experience the heart and soul of South India – through interactions with people, exploring the regions traditions, spiritual beliefs, festivals, architecture and landscapes. Trips with us are guaranteed to set you memories ablaze long after you have left our shores, and will keep you coming back!
Our focus – Only South India.
Unlike almost any other travel company, we focus only on South India. This is where all of us are from, this where our ancestors are from. We know the land and her traditions like only a local can. We do not stretch ourselves thin. Instead, we deliver unforgettable travel experiences with attention to the minutest details and with loads of meaningful interactions with locals. We take you on visits to places no other tour operator takes you to – because unlike us locals, they don’t really know the gems and the hidden spots of the region!
Experiences not merely visits.
Our itineraries focus on experiences and not merely site visits. As travellers ourselves, we want you to really get up close and personal with South India, her culture, traditions, her people. Each of our trips are full of unscripted, spontaneous and unique ways to really experience the region. You’ll return home having been deeply immersed into our region in a way few travelers ever have a chance to.
Expert, local tour leaders.
We are not just tour guides but custodians of South India’s culture and traditions. We all come from academic backgrounds of history, art and architecture and other relevant fields with a deep passion for experiential travel. We are all extremely fluent in English – making true dialog and debate natural and rapid. And we are all local to the region with expert insider knowledge and local connections to make the most of unexpected opportunities. All our tour leaders have led a minimum of 100 multi-day trips, making us true travel professionals.
Small group adventures.
All our group departures have a maximum of 8 guests – big enough to enjoy a holiday adventure amidst like minded people, and small enough to have a really personalized experience. Groups are usually a mix of couples who are above 40 years of age, or small families or a group of friends – all united for a thirst for a true travel adventure and a sense of fun! You can ask us who your fellow travelers will be on any particular trip and we happy to connect all of you if you wish before the adventure starts.
Truly responsible and sustainable travel.
A core focus of ours, all our travel itineraries are really sustainable. Every thought and action is born out of this commitment to the environment and the local communities where we operate. The experiential character of our holidays pays homage to nature and engages closely with local people and their cultures – directly benefiting local communities.
