About Our Company
We began in 1985 when Ravi S. Kalra and his wife Gurmeet opened an office in Delhi and offered mostly adventure tours to areas they knew particularly well in India under their own leadership. By 1993 we were offering a variety of cultural and adventure tours being led by a professional team to destinations all over India. We started our tailor-made wildlife tours in 1996 focussing on the Great Cats of India. By 1998 we had widened our vistas and had professional and experienced tour leaders offering a plethora of bird watching and large mammals tours to all corners of India. We established a base in the overseas market with our office in Winchester, UK to be in touch with you and to understand your needs better.
