CRAFT YOUR JOURNEY

OUR PROCESS

India is a land with living, breathing stories. There are tales to be found in every nook and corner of this vast land. In fact, within the broad definition of India lie many Indias. This country does not propose a rigid, homogenous identity – it does not offer the same story to everyone. While visualizing their journey through India, discerning travellers must then be prepared to immerse themselves into this land of multiple realities. Travel thus meets cultural enrichment.

We, at Kamalan, take pride in finding for you the version of India which comes closest to your palate - the India story you want to witness. Whether your journey is that of an artist seeking inspiration, or that of a scholar trying to unearth long lost knowledge, or even a creator looking for the right match of resources to marry your brand’s identity, or simply just a traveller seeking a unique cultural perspective or a treasure-throve of memories. The Indian travel craftsman curates a journey just for you, finding a

story from India tailored to fit your soul. There are multiple chapters to be covered in the process of writing a holistic, travel experience. Crafting a journey for you starts with us understanding what is meaningful to you. With the ideas you provide us about yourself, we dive into our knowledge well and come out with only the choicest of travel stories, carefully designed for your taste, you are the protagonist, omnipresent as the story unfolds. With your assent, we then define the reality of this story – the places you will go to, the people you will meet, the things you will do, and the cost of the journey. We use our wide network of connections across the country to ensure that your journey is planned to a T

To give you a clearer vision we will elucidate the process in four broad steps.
