India Unbound
Established in 2007, India Unbound is an award-winning travel company specialising in custom-made journeys and private tours to India. With more than two decades of experience exploring this fascinating nation, we create tailor-made itineraries for discerning travellers looking for a real adventure. Whether it be a walking tour through the Western Ghats, attending the Pushkar Camel Fair or a five star journey through Rajasthan, our guests are passionate about meaningful travel experiences that go beyond the traditional tourist trails.
When you start to research a trip to India, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the seemingly endless possibilities. At India Unbound, we’ve made this process easy. To see India, we simply ask our guests to tell us relevant information about themselves, and the type of travel experience they are looking for. For some, it’s a wish list of places they want to visit, a style of travel, a particular interest or theme that they want to explore, or a combination of all of these factors. Using this information, we curate a custom-made itinerary to explore India. It’s that simple.

Ethical Partnerships
We are committed to an ethical approach to tourism that prioritises respect, sustainability, and local benefits. We do not include animal rides, orphanage visits, or forced shopping stops in our itineraries. Instead, we work exclusively with local partners who ensure that funds stay within the communities we visit, not offshore to foreign-owned businesses. Our model avoids large tour buses, helping to protect local infrastructure while supporting small, independently run hotels and heritage properties, offering meaningful yet considerate travel experiences.
