Private journeys designed around your interests, travel style, preferred pace and budget, from the first idea to the final day.
What we do
Excursion2India designs and organises private, tailor-made journeys across India, Nepal and Bhutan. Instead of fitting you into a fixed package, we plan each journey around your own travel programme, preferences and budget. The itineraries on this website are ideas to start from: every one of them can be changed, shortened, extended or combined with another country.
We plan for couples, families, friends, private groups and special-interest travellers, and we work with international travel agencies and tour operators who need a destination partner for India, Nepal and Bhutan. Our team works from offices in Kolkata and Delhi NCR.
Excursion2India has been planning journeys since 2007. For many years the brand was run by a private limited company led by our present founders and others. When that company had to be dissolved during the COVID-19 pandemic, the founders chose to keep the Excursion2India name and website alive, and in 2022 they continued it as a partnership. Our founders, and many of the people who work with us, have more than 20 years of experience in travel.
English is our main working language. We can also look after French- and Spanish-speaking guests, and with advance notice we can arrange guides and assistance in German, Russian and Korean.
Other reasonable requests are welcome. Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you honestly what can be arranged.
