Journeys
Remembered

A few words from travellers who experienced India with us.

From the moment we landed in Delhi to the final sunset over the backwaters in Kerala, every detail was handled with quiet precision. Om understood exactly the pace we wanted — never rushed, always immersive.

The temples of Tamil Nadu were beyond anything we had imagined. Standing inside the Brihadishvara at Tanjore, you feel a thousand years of devotion in the stone. This is travel that changes you.

What sets this apart is the access. We weren't just looking at Jaipur from a bus window — we were inside a family home, cooking together, sharing stories. That's the India you come for but rarely find.

The houseboat cruise from Kumarakom to Alleppey was the most peaceful day of our entire trip. Coconut palms reflected in still water, fishermen in the distance, and the most incredible Kerala food served on board.

Munnar's tea estates stretched endlessly in every shade of green. Our guide knew the best viewpoints, the quiet trails, and exactly where to stop for a cup of fresh Nilgiri tea. It felt like a private Discovery.

Every morning felt like a new chapter. Hampi's ruins at sunrise, the Badami caves, then Goa's coastline by evening. Ten days that covered more ground than we thought possible without ever feeling rushed.

We travelled as a family with two teenagers and Om made it effortless. The kids were engaged at every temple, every fort. It wasn't just sightseeing — it was storytelling that brought India alive for all of us.

The attention to detail was remarkable — from the choice of hotels to the timing of each visit that avoided crowds. Watching the Taj Mahal at sunrise with so few people around was a moment we will never forget.

Responsible wildlife tourism — Indian Routes & Trails

Responsible Tourism

Travel with
Conscience

“Taking into consideration the well-being of animals, we as a responsible tour operator do not encourage the ride nor any activities related with the animals.”

At Indian Routes & Trails, luxury and responsibility walk hand in hand. We believe that an authentic experience of India does not require the exploitation of its wildlife. When visiting sites such as Amber Fort in Jaipur, we respectfully decline elephant rides and any animal-based activities, and guide our guests towards equally memorable, ethically sound alternatives.
