Discovering India with Shanti Travel is an experience shaped by local expertise, meaningful encounters, and a genuine passion for this vibrant country. Here are five compelling reasons to embark on your Indian journey with us:
1. Over 20 Years of Specialist Experience and a Trusted Worldwide Community
Our story began more than two decades ago in North India, and since then, over 30,000 travelers have journeyed with us through every corner of the subcontinent. The loyalty of our community—many return year after year to explore new Indian regions with us—reflects the confidence inspired by our experience and high satisfaction rates (96%). Our success is built on authentic word-of-mouth recommendations and a strong, supportive network of fellow adventurers.
2. Expert Advice from Local Travel Designers
From the moment you start planning your trip, our team of English-speaking travel designers—living in New Delhi, Pondicherry, Leh, and beyond—acts as your personal consultants. Their deep, on-the-ground knowledge means you get the real inside scoop: where to discover hidden gems, which festivals to experience, or how to enjoy the best of Indian hospitality. We pride ourselves on delivering tailored itineraries, sharing our personal passions, and turning your wishes into an authentic journey, whether it’s a Himalayan trek, a taste of Ayurveda, or an immersive local festival.
3. Unmatched Safety, Support, and Personalized Service
Your peace of mind is paramount. Our united Indo-European team is available 24/7—before, during, and after your trip. From providing quick help in remote areas to welcoming you personally when you arrive in India, our responsive approach gives you the confidence to explore even the most off-the-beaten-path destinations. Our proven experience in field logistics ensures both comfort and security at each step of your adventure.
4. 100% Tailor-Made Journeys Without Intermediaries
We aren’t just another travel company: we’re a fully local agency dedicated to creating journeys as unique as you are. No standardized tours—just bespoke experiences for families, couples, friends, or solo explorers. Our direct relationships with partners on the ground cut out middlemen, ensuring you receive the best possible value (often 30-40% less than European operators) while benefiting from genuine quality. We craft small-group adventures where it matters, like exclusive treks in the Himalayas, and design trips that can be as independent or accompanied as you wish.
5. Commitment to Sustainable, Responsible, and Meaningful Travel
At Shanti Travel, responsible tourism isn’t just a promise—it’s a practice woven into every itinerary we build. We support impactful projects like the Matho Museum Project, Pabu Ki Dani, and Elephant Valley, working hand-in-hand with solidarity structures and local communities. Our approach prioritizes positive economic and social impact, authentic cultural exchange, and the preservation of India’s exceptional heritage, ensuring your trip contributes to the country’s future as much as it celebrates its present.
What Sets Us Apart?
Choosing Shanti Travel means entrusting your Indian adventure to those who live it every day—on the ground, from the heart, and always with your journey at the center of ours.
