About Offbeat India Tours

We are the team behind Offbeat India Tours, a group of positive thinkers, travel enthusiasts, and dedicated professionals. Our journey in the tour operating business and life, in general, has been shaped by courage and determination. As a tour management company based in the Indian sub-continent, we have branches spanning across various parts of India, Nepal, and Bhutan.

Our mission is not just to organize tours but to create experiences that linger in your memory. We believe in forging a lasting connection with destinations through travel. As the saying goes, "Travel makes one modest, we see what a tiny place we occupy in the world."

We are a vibrant team of young, experienced, and down-to-earth professionals proudly managing Offbeat India Tours. We are passionate about fulfilling people's dreams of exploring India and are committed to delivering top-notch services. It's not just about being a travel company; we strive to make Offbeat India Tours stand out.

Representing all states of India, our guides can converse in almost every international language. Our fleet includes small to large and medium to luxury cars, driven by professional chauffeurs. Above all, our team at Offbeat India Tours believes in every faith, ensuring a welcoming and inclusive experience for our travelers. With over 15 years of experience in the travel trade in India, our extensive knowledge and strong network set us apart.

Offbeat India Tours is known for designing and suggesting "out-of-the-ordinary tours," offering authentic Indian experiences to individuals and small groups. Our mission is to provide top-notch services in areas where traveling is easily accessible, as well as in regions where it's still a unique project, such as the remote valleys of the Himalayas, tribal areas, and the vast coastlines of India and Sri Lanka.

Our travelers don't just visit; they experience the local lifestyle. From rickshaw rides in narrow lanes to witnessing the Ganga Aarti Ceremony, feeding elephants, visiting craftsman villages, dining in Brahmin houses, and learning the art of cooking hot-spicy Indian cuisine – the list is endless.

In every tour, we engage with locals because, despite our extensive database and knowledgeable team, locals know their destinations best. This engagement not only uncovers the secrets of a place but also creates employment opportunities, allowing us to research, craft, and deliver authentic experiences seamlessly.

We love India, its rich history, and the folklore of kings and queens. Our team carefully observes craftsmen, weaves those learnings into perfect itineraries, and brings them to life.

Rest assured, Offbeat India Tours is approved by the Indian Government and the Department of Tourism. We have received awards for our commitment to work, life, and social consciousness. Many of us are married with adorable kids, but our round-the-clock office shifts ensure we stay connected with ongoing guests and those still planning their dream itineraries. We are here to make your travel dreams a reality. ....less
