Doing tourism
Responsibly
We contacted Indian Moments, when we wanted to explore
Central India for six weeks in January and February, 2024.
From the beginning, Neeraj and his team worked diligently,
using, as an outline, our wishes but also suggesting places
they knew we should not miss. Every step was carefully
planned, and, in the end, we enjoyed the trip of a lifetime.
We visited bustling cities (Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and
Bhopal,) but we also enjoyed the peace and the incredible
wildlife of several national parks (Gir, Little Rann, Kanha,
and Tadoba.) Encounters with Asiatic Lions, Bengal Tigers,
and even the Indian Wild Ass, are indelible in our memories.
It wasn’t only the planning that made this trip so
memorable. Read More

They have become my dear and trusted friends and I am honored to partner with them.

India is the last big country where the tradition of textile weaving and textile related works still exists in large scale.
We do not believe in making you hop to different destinations on a tight time schedules. Our tours have flexibility. The tour building process is interactive. What to see, what to eat, whom to speak to and what to buy can, at best, be suggestions, NOT compulsions. We encourage our guests to often be on their own and interact with local cultures. While there are countless ideas on which we may custom-build your India tour, here are a few tours which display some very exciting possibilities.
