About Us
Our Story
With over 40 years of combined experience, our team carefully curates journeys that go beyond the surface, offering immersive, one-of-a-kind experiences that connect you deeply with the cultures you visit. We take pride in providing honest, thoughtful advice, ensuring each trip is tailored to your interests and crafted with authenticity.
​​​
As strong advocates of responsible tourism, we prioritise working with local communities, independent accommodations, small businesses, and cooperatives. Our approach fosters respectful and meaningful interactions, while ensuring that the benefits of tourism directly support the people and cultures that make each journey so special. With sustainability at our core, we strive to make thoughtful, responsible travel both accessible and impactful, leaving a positive imprint on both our travellers and the places they explore.
We don't aim to be the biggest operator, just the most authentic at what we do. This is travel to India built on deep knowledge, genuine passion, and thoughtful detail, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Tuhina Sharma
Based in our Delhi office, Tuhina is a travel enthusiast and has travelled and lived extensively throughout India and is closely familiar with the cultural, religious and off-beat patterns of the diverse country that she calls home. She is a seasoned trip leader, escorting individuals and small private groups with hands on knowledge of the cultural and historical beats of each location.
Her years of working in the industry has also allowed her to build key relationships with some of the best hoteliers and guides across the country to ensure guests have the best possible experience. When not escorting guests in person, Tuhina works hard behind the scenes of our tailormade trips, ensuring that everything works smoothly and she is always on hand to help guests on the ground.
Pravin Dangera
Based in our Gujarat office, Pravin, a native of Bhuj, is an experienced tour leader with deep expertise in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Passionate about responsible tourism, he is dedicated to sharing the authentic culture of Kutch in particular with his travellers in a meaningful and sustainable way. His commitment to preserving and showcasing Kutch’s traditions ensures that visitors gain a deeper understanding of its vibrant communities while promoting respectful and immersive travel experiences.
​
With extensive knowledge of Gujarat’s rich heritage, Pravin has led numerous cultural tours and collaborated on campaigns with the Gujarat Tourism Board. He has also worked closely with writers and filmmakers, including those from Discovery Channel and the BBC, helping to capture the essence of the region.
Giving Back
At the heart of what we do is a long-term commitment to the communities we work with across India. In the Little Rann, we support the Agariya community - salt farmers who live and work in one of the region’s most striking yet harsh landscapes. Despite producing the salt found in kitchens across India, many Agariya families remain on the margins. We contribute by donating educational and school materials to the Rann Shala buses, which bring vital learning opportunities to children living in these remote areas.
​
We also work closely with the Vadha community, among the last remaining artisans in Kutch still creating traditional lacquerware. With livelihoods that are both fragile and seasonal, many families rely on additional work such as honey gathering from the forest or making small handmade dolls to support themselves. Alongside commissioning utensil orders during quieter periods, we also provide support towards medical expenses when needed.
"Thank you so much for an amazing experience. It has changed all of our lives, we learnt so much and we are grateful to you to meet such kind and remarkable people. You made the trip very special, a huge thank you"
