Namaste!
Pure India Tours is a boutique Melbourne (Australia) based tour company specialising in small group tours of India.
Pure India Tours was created after I first visited Rajasthan, India with my mum (a long held dream of ours) as a part of an organised tour group. As first timers to India, we thought that travelling as a part of a group would be a softer introduction to India for us, which it was. Although we loved our first trip we realised that we wanted a more authentic taste of India; it was a challenge to experience the ‘real’ India on a big bus tour with so many one night stops, views from the bus and people to constantly queue behind!
After that first visit, the magic of India never left us; it really was life changing for both of us in many ways. I knew that I wanted to share my love of India with others but in a smaller, organised, relaxed, fun and authentic way.
Since then my mum and I have been back many times on our own little tours and with friends, and I’ve also travelled India as a solo female.
I'm always excited to share my passion for India and all of its richness, beauty, chaos and intensity.
I hope that you can be open for things not to always go as planned in India! Be curious, open-hearted, and expect the unexpected - these are often the parts of travel that stay with us.
