love india travels is a new venture from Kim Thelander. Kim has been travelling to India since 1989 and has made it her permanent home since 2009, where she resides in the Himalayas.
In the past five years Kim has been taking groups around India sharing her insider knowledge to create unique experiences that make a holiday of a lifetime and often inspire people to come back again and again.
love india tours are small groups only, maximum of ten, so that you receive personalised attention and experiences that are intimate and tailored to your interests.
So whether you want to swim with the elephants, shop the boutiques and bazaars , visit the best sites and restaurants or even create your own jewellry, Kim and her team can make it happen for you.
Love india groups stay at the best boutique and heritage hotels, so that means staying in centuries old maharajahs palaces with all the modcons and fabulous modern boutique hotels.
The pace of our tours allows all the best of india to be explored with major sites included within the itinerary and plenty of free time to wander the markets, soak up the atmosphere or if you would prefer to take a class in bollywood dance or cruise through the himalayas on an enfield motorbike, we have great local contacts that can make your dreams a reality.
If you prefer to travel independently Kim can arrange hotels and transport for you and back up assistance while you explore.
Come and meet India she is a vibrant melting pot of people and places, from jungles and deserts to the majestic himalayas. Where the modern and ancient traditions live side by side surrounded by incredible architecture and awesome nature.Where you can experience a smorgasboard of colours, sights, tastes and contrasts.
As Ibn Butta claimed Travelling-it leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller.
