Custom Designed Tours

Jasmine Trails specializes in designing and booking tours in India that are especially customized for each traveler. I believe that every single day that you spend in India should be special, doing what is of interest to you and not a “one size fits all” itinerary that travel agents often prescribe. I also recommend off-beat destinations and experiences so that India can be more than just monuments and popular tourist circuits. Whether you are a solo traveler, a couple on honeymoon, a family with kids or a small group of friends Jasmine Trails promises you a journey of a lifetime. Take a look at “Plan your Trip” to get an idea of places travelers can consider. It’s not a comprehensive list yet so do contact me to help you get started on designing a tour especially for you!

Personal Shopper

India is a paradise for anyone vaguely interested in buying beautiful things. Infact, it’s downright difficult not to buy in India. However, no one wants to get duped into overspending or buying fake things. Thanks to my many years traveling India, I have come to know reputed and honest sellers of all kinds of products. I can help you by connecting you to the right stores whether they be boutiques, little shops in local markets or even high-end sellers who will meet you by appointment only. You may be looking for inexpensive souvenirs or very specific products like precious jewelry or rare textiles, I will be able to guide you to the right places. This way you are sure of the quality and price that you pay and most importantly, you don’t get misled and waste time.

From culinary tours to wildlife tours, photography tours to architecture tours, textiles tours to horse-riding tours, student tours to art tours…. and just about anything, Jasmine Trails can organize the most specialized tours for you.

So, you come back with enriched and enthralled.

Jasmine Trails Travel Management and Guide Services

Tour Leaders and Guides

The best planned tours can go downhill in the company of a less-than-adequate guide or trip leader. That is why Jasmine Trails engages the best trip leaders/tour guides in India. As an experienced trip leader and guide, I know how critical it is for travelers to get correct information, honest guidance and the sense of security. A great personality and sense of humour make it even better. I ensure that you are in the company of guides/trip leaders who love to meet people, look after them and make sure that they go home with amazing memories.

Destination weddings

India has some of the most exotic and beautiful locations in the world to tie the knot. Ride in on elephants with pomp and splendour and marry like royalty in the palaces of erstwhile Maharajas. Or perhaps a romantic ceremony under a starry night sky in the desert is more your style. Go spiritual with a wedding on the banks of the holy Ganges with the chanting of mantras that invite well-being and happiness. There are many unique themes and locations to have a memorable special day, not just for you both but for your guests too. Follow it up with a specially planned honeymoon! Say you do!

Luxury Travel Experience

Some of the world’s best hotels and lodges are in India. Combine these with unmatched Indian hospitality and you have some of the finest luxury travel experiences that will spoil you. Ofcourse, luxury travel is not just about accommodation but also exclusive, unique and carefully crafted experiences like…. A private romantic dinner under a starry sky in the desert. Luxury camping while looking for tigers. Relaxing with the best-ever Ayurveda massage and spa. Sipping champagne while riding a painted elephant. Cruising the serene backwaters in Kerala on a private luxury houseboat. And much, much more!
