Our Vision

Most of our trips can be customised based on your needs. Each itinerary planned will have a balance between traveling, sightseeing and free time. Each tour we offer will provide you with a detailed day by day itinerary that describes each day’s activities. The itinerary also lists the details of the hotels we use, transport and inclusions/exclusions to avoid any hidden surprises.

about india and beyond

India Beyond is a joint venture with Bhutan Beyond from Australia & Target Tours from India.
All of our tours are backed up by our own network of offices and teams in local destinations. During the entire duration of the trip your daily movement is closely monitored and you are only a phone call away from help. We are dedicated to serving our clients before, during, and after they travel and, as a result many of our clients come to us by personal referral or on a repeat basis.

Our buying power and extensive network offices in local destinations enables us to negotiate the best price and pass on the savings to you. We strive to offer exceptionally good value but never cut corners or sacrifice quality to be cheapest.

Guides play an invaluable role in ensuring that our clients have the best opportunity to experience, learn about, and enjoy a rewarding journey. We carefully choose guides based on their knowledge of regional culture and history, their proficiency in English, and their ability to cater to a sophisticated clientele.
