Our Story

In the vibrant tapestry of time, the story of India Tours and Travels unfolds like a well-travelled map, with each chapter weaving a tale of passion, exploration, and family legacy. It all began in 1978, a pivotal year when Inder, a fervent explorer with a heart captivated by wanderlust, found himself on the receiving end of a letter from friends in France. Their desire to delve into the enchanting state of Rajasthan sparked the birth of a 30-day travel plan that encompassed the essence of the region—majestic cities, quaint villages, Aravali Mountain treks, camel adventures, desert camps, and the warm glow of bonfires under the vast desert sky. As the letters exchanged hands, Inder's friends were entranced by the allure of Rajasthan, particularly the mesmerizing dunes of Jaisalmer. Encouraged by their enthusiasm, Inder felt a calling to share this slice of paradise with more global travellers. Requests flooded in for journeys into rural villages, Aravali Mountain treks, camel treks, and desert camping, pushing Inder to realize his dream. Thus, in pursuit of providing unparalleled travel experiences, he founded "Padmani Tours," which later evolved into the renowned "India Tours & Travels."

While Inder's dreams unfolded on the tourism front, his son Kirit embarked on a separate journey, venturing into the world of fabrics and garments. Kirit's business thrived as he introduced diverse cloth materials from various corners of India. Yet, as India Tours and Travels expanded, Inder found himself in need of additional hands, turning to Kirit for assistance. In 1988, Kirit joined the family enterprise, seamlessly blending his fabric expertise with the world of tourism.

As the company flourished, organizing tours that spanned the entirety of India, Kirit yearned for more. His passion for languages led him to envision an expansion into European countries. Invitations from mayors and positive responses from Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and beyond marked the international growth of India Tours and Travels. The peak of Indian tourism saw the company organizing daily departures for Ladakh, Rajasthan, and Southern India tours. In 2010, a new chapter unfolded with Kirit introducing his son, Karan, to the family trade.

The focus shifted to unexplored destinations, traversing the tribal belts of Orissa, Chhattisgarh, and the northeast, along with sub-continents like Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. This strategic diversification added layers to the company's portfolio, solidifying its position as a leading tour operator in India.

India Tours and Travels has become synonymous with tailor-made tour packages, crafted with precision and delivered with a commitment to quality. The foundation of the company's success rested on high-quality travel experiences, impeccable customer service, and a profound understanding of India's rich culture and heritage.

And so, the legacy of India Tours and Travels continues, a testament to the power of passion, exploration, and the enduring spirit of family. Each journey, a brushstroke on the canvas of time, tells the story of a company that transformed dreams into destinations, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of Indian tourism.
