Soul of India Journeys of Discovery

When our founders started Soul of India, the idea was rooted in the idea of exploring the many regions of India, both in locations that are well-known to tourists and those that are more obscure and can offer a real-world experience of life in different parts of this diverse country. Over the years, our most popular destinations became those along pilgrimage, migration, and trade routes where strangers have encountered each other since ancient times and have learned from each other to create the wonderfully blended culture we can appreciate today. India’s history of different faiths, ethical insights, literature, music, theatre, art, and architecture make it one of the most popular destinations for travellers who are looking for an experience in religious and cultural heritage while visiting beautiful, scenic locations.in

We’re proud to have established relationships with the local people who live in India’s communities and who share hospitality, kindness, friendship, humor, and many other gifts with our tour guests. We offer tours of India to people from all backgrounds, including teachers, groups and those seeking spiritual Yoga experiences in the birthplace of Yoga, all of whom tell us that the experience and open dialogue we encourage with each other and those we visit in their hometowns and villages has had a lasting impact. We ask that our tour guests join us with a spirit of openness, mutual respect, and a shared vulnerability. It is in this spirit that we offer Soul of India.
