Small group journeys through India, led by people who actually live here.
Twelve travellers, one route, no tour buses.
Experience India locally in small groups. We stay at family-run accommodations instead of hotel chains, travel the way locals do, and venture beyond the typical tourist trail. Less sightseeing, more experiencing. Less following guidebooks, more following curiosity.
Led by Pritesh (India) & Nicole (Canada) — exploring India together since 2017

What travelling with us means
Forget the big hotel chains. We choose family-run guesthouses, locally owned stays, and places where hospitality feels personal. Because where you stay is part of the journey, not just somewhere to sleep.
Families, not chains
Women -led, locally rooted
Your spending stays in the community
From block-printing workshops to women-driven tuk-tuks and neighbourhood food stalls, we choose to support the people and small businesses that make these places what they are. Many are relationships we've built over years of returning to the same streets.
Beyond the checklist
More than monuments, memories that stay
Of course, we'll see the Taj Mahal. But we'll also make time to sit beside the Ganga with nowhere to be, share chai with new friends, and wander without an agenda. Sometimes, the moments we never planned are the ones we remember most.

Going to India with Nicole & Pritesh as our tour guides was the most amazing trip! They had everything planned to a T! We had the most incredible life-changing trip. We drank chai on the streets, tried so many different foods that were delicious. We did so many different adventurers we got to see what India is truly about! I would go to India again it is the most amazing place to see, beautiful country, beautiful people, food that actually tastes like food, the smells, the noise was all amazing! Thank you Nicole and Pritesh for the most amazing experience and always making sure we were all happy with whatever adventures you had planned for us!
Travelling with Karuna was unlike any other tour I have ever done in the best way possible. If you are looking for an experience that will make you feel more like you are integrating into a country as a local then being a foreigner doing the most touristic things then this is for you. Nicole and Pritesh have put together such a unique experience where you still get to do thing like visit the Taj Mahal but you also go to the most amazing hidden gems that only locals would know about. Whether it was drinking chai at the local walas or going to evening pooja at temple or being shown the best places to shop for amazing Indian textiles I loved it all.

Their intimate knowledge of places and booking with companies that help women such as the PinkCity TukTuk Co or Sheros Cafe made this trip more meaningful. They made sure every logistical detail was handled so we could relax and fully immerse ourselves in every experience. The itinerary was the perfect balance of structure and spontaneity. We experienced highlights like camel rides, ocean swims, and cultural shows, along with our own additions like Ayurvedic treatments, jewelry-making workshops, cooking classes, and indulgent massages. These extras that we could include made the experience all the more magical.
Had such a beautiful experience on the Karuna trip to India! Nicole + Pritesh were amazing guides - their passion India was infectious and you can feel their deep love for the country. We saw so many beautiful places: the Taj Mahal, Jaipur, Rishikesh, Pushkar. Ate so many delicious meals and shared so many delicious chai's. Nicole guided us through some beautiful Kriya yoga practices and even walked me through my first puja practice! Loved how Nicole really made an effort to support women run businesses in India - you can really feel and her passion for womens empowerment throughout the itinerary!
