TRAVELER LOVE

This trip to India was life changing! The tour was so well organized with so many unique elements that you couldn’t plan on your own. There were so many heartfelt moments from visiting the women’s empowerment center in Johdpur, to the acid attack survivor’s cafe in Agra, to the beautiful display of mourning and love in Varanasi.

MEET KOMAL

YOUR GUIDE FOR THE TRIP

Kamal has been working in the travel industry from past 10 years. She started her career in tourism as a tour guide at time when it was very rare for women to work in such a profession and hence became one of the first female guides in Delhi.

Komal is very passionate about India and its culture and that’s what she loves about her job too. She gets to introduce people to the real India and its people and change a lot of misconceptions that exist about India. 🙂

There’s a very interesting fact about the diversity of India, it is said India is so diverse that in every 100 kms the dialect, the culture, the taste of food, the lifestyle and even the way chai is made changes, isn’t that fascinating! Her aim is to uplift the local businesses and promote responsible travel in India where we can leave positive footprints wherever we go!

*things happen, so if it’s not Komal, you will have another incredible, experienced, and vetted guide.
