Meet our local partners in India
We work closely with a trusted team of local partners in India who know the country inside out. When you arrive, you’ll have a friendly local face to welcome you at the airport and help you get settled before your trip begins.
Our local team takes care of the practical side of travelling around India and is on hand throughout your holiday should you need support. They can help with questions, unexpected changes or anything else that comes up while you’re on the road.
Because they live and work in India, they can also share the kind of practical tips and local insight you won’t always find in a guidebook. From recommending a good place to eat to pointing you towards a quieter spot away from the crowds, their knowledge helps you experience India beyond the main sights.

Based in a leafy office in Goa, they bring a wealth of insider knowledge to our North India holidays. Their local expertise helps us create authentic, sustainable and enjoyable travel experiences, while making sure you have trusted support throughout your trip.
Friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to help, our local team knows India inside out. They work closely with our travel specialists and are on hand to assist with the practicalities of travelling in North India, giving you peace of mind while you explore the region.
Meet our partner in South India
Our South India partners are based in Mamallapuram. They bring a wealth of local knowledge and a real passion for creating meaningful experiences. They believe that the best way to experience India is through its people, food, landscapes and everyday life, not just its famous sights. Their local connections help us add those memorable touches that bring a journey to life, from meeting local people and exploring markets to experiencing the flavours and traditions of the region.
Behind the scenes, they take care of the practicalities, from accommodation and transport to guides and experiences, while their team is on hand throughout your trip if you need any help. Their focus on responsible travel also means we can create experiences that support local communities and give you a more personal feel for South India.
Making good things happen together
Both our North and South India partners share our passion for responsible travel, by focusing on sustainable tourism.
In North India, our partners strive to ensure that everybody benefits from tourism. With this in mind, they mainly work with small, family-run places that only use local staff. They also encourage heritage properties to open their homes to guests, thus ensuring they remain preserved.
On top of this, they pay their staff considerably more than the legal minimum, ensuring they can live comfortable lifestyles. They also have a policy of actively encouraging and helping reliable drivers to buy their own vehicles.
In South India, our local office works closely with local merchants and vendors, and alongside their partners have contributed to scholarship and disabled day care programs for local children. They believe in honouring and enriching India and work hard to give back to the local communities that they work in.
They also have sustainable practices in place at their offices and on their tours. They recycle all plastic and waste where possible and choose only to work with hotels that share their sustainability values.
