Indus Travels: India your way

India is a dazzling, sensual feast.The sublime grace of the Taj Mahal, the hot fragrance of the food, the majesty of peacocks, tigers, elephants, the hypnotic lure of the music and everywhere the searing surprise of color beckons. But India’s heat, vast distances and crowds can make travel tiring and confusing when you want to see --- well what only you want to see. The easiest most enjoyable way to see India today is with Indus Travels, a personalized tour company offering customized tours for every imaginable interest and need.  It’s the company that not only offers three levels of accommodations based on your budget, but will customize the tour any way you want.

The customization begins with the accommodation from clean, friendly budget to perfectly comfortable standard to luxury.  The streets of India are hot, dusty and noisy so that all three Indus choices from simple to sublime are at the end of the day a most  welcome refuge. If you choose the luxury option, it’s the Oberoi hotels and in India this means opulence beyond imagination.  If you can swing it, you’ll find yourself in the palatial  Oberoi Amaravilas Raj only 600 meters from the Taj Mahal or the Jaipur Rajivialas, a Moorish style resort on 30 acres of garden of pools, fountains, shrines and most surprising— peacock-filled trees.

Best of all, Indus will tailor your tour to what you are passionate about.  Indus Travels takes information on your interests and always includes at least one such activity as a surprise in their itinerary. For example, they might surprise with a trip to Old Delhi to meet with a kabootarbaz, a master messenger pigeon trainer or a private audience with a Buddisht monk at sacred Sarnath, or a visit to the Der Amer elephant sanctuary where at dusk you can take an elephant ride through the Arivali forest or try your hand at the genteel  game of elephant polo.

No matter how wild your passion, Indus Travels enables you to follow it. They will customize a tour to a group or to an individual---even individuals within a tour.  

Dream of having dinner with a Maharajah? Or  perhaps you would like to get married in a dress from a princess?  What about a cuisine tour of Rajasthan,  a safari on a thoroughbred Marwari horse, a walking tour through the North Eastern Himalayas or perhaps camping with the nomadic Rabari tribes of Kutch?  The highly personal nature of Indus lets you choose from private tours to small group tours and from myriad India treats such as:
