Small-group and private journeys through the palaces, deserts and back-lanes of a country we've spent thirty years learning to love. From marigold welcomes to lake-palace evenings — every detail considered, every moment yours.
For three decades we've designed journeys for travellers who care more about the texture of a place than the trophy of a postcard — the dawn light on the Taj, the cardamom-warm chai with a Rajasthani farmer, the moment a Bombay dabbawala becomes someone you'll talk about for years.
Small groups and immersive experiences — with a trusted host whose company adds to the charm of every mile, choosing the places, the moments and the people you'll meet along the way.
Delhi · Agra · Jaipur · Pushkar · Jodhpur · Ghanerao · Udaipur · Mumbai
Twelve nights through the Golden Triangle and the heart of Rajasthan — palaces, forts, a jungle safari at Kumbhalgarh, and a sunset boat across Lake Pichola.
Delhi · Shimla · Kangra Valley · Amritsar · Rewari · Jaipur · Marwar · Udaipur
Eighteen days, four gauges, one lifetime — the vintage Kalka–Shimla Railbus, the Kangra Valley line, the Rewari steam shed, and a metre-gauge climb through the Aravalli hills.
Delhi · Agra · Jaipur · Nagaur · Jodhpur · Ghanerao · Udaipur · Mumbai
Thirteen nights timed to the second-largest cattle fair in India — moustaches, marigolds, camel races, and the Mirchi Bazaar. A rare, theatrical Rajasthan.
Kolkata · Varanasi · Lucknow · Chandigarh · Shimla · Amritsar
Seventeen nights of kantha, brocade, chikankari, Himachali knit and phulkari — woven together by the Vande Bharat and the UNESCO climb to Shimla.
Travel Pals was founded by Mohit and Amit Chopra — brothers with three decades of curating extraordinary journeys. Today we bring that same care and craft to discerning travellers from North America, with India as our flagship destination and more curated escapes to follow.
Heritage havelis, lake-facing palaces, jungle lodges at Kumbhalgarh. We choose by character, not chain — and inspect every property ourselves.
Our hosts bring the rare combination of unsurpassed knowledge, gentle humour, and a story for every mile — from a chai stall in Old Delhi to a desert dawn at Jaisalmer.
The Taj at dawn, yes. But also a Rajasthani farm lunch, a women-run gemstone factory, a village school, the dabbawalas of Mumbai before the city wakes.
"Atithi Devo Bhava" — The guest is an incarnation of God.An ancient Indian welcome · the spirit of every Travel Pals journey
India is not a destination — it is a hundred destinations layered over each other, separated by language, climate, faith and cuisine.
We help you choose where to begin. The Golden Triangle for first-time travellers. Rajasthan for romance and royal history. Kerala's backwaters for slowness. The Himalayas for silence. Tamil Nadu for temples that have never stopped breathing.
Tell us what moves you — we'll build the rest.
