The Soul of Our Work
Echoes of the People
We believe that a true journey lies in human connection and cultural discovery. That's why authentic ethnic encounters are much more than just an activity on our tours: they are the distinctive signature of our approach to travel in India. We work in close collaboration with local communities, ensuring our encounters are respectful of their culture and environment, and that they contribute positively to their economic and social well-being.
Art & Craft
Our agency is committed to promoting India's rich artistic heritage, which is expressed through an infinite variety of forms. Our trips invite you to meet passionate artisans, heirs to ancestral knowledge, who are keeping traditions alive that have been passed down for generations.
By choosing to travel with us, you directly support artisan communities and help to sustain India's invaluable artistic legacy.
Festivals
Festivals in India are far more than simple celebrations; they are the vibrant soul of the country.
Traveling to India during a festival means diving into the beating heart of its culture and experiencing a unique sensory immersion. From the twinkling lights of Diwali to the explosive colors of Holi, the devotional chants of Durga Puja, and the joyful harvests of Pongal, each festival has its own specific rituals, delicious dishes, and contagious atmosphere.

Our reviews
Merveilles du Karnataka
"Lors de notre voyage au Karnataka j’ai découvert des lieux et temples vraiment fabuleux. Les homestays était tous différents avec à chaque fois un accueil chaleureux dans des endroits très calmes pour un repos bien mérité. Notre chauffeur, Raj était toujours à l’écoute pour nos demandes et disponible. Ce voyage avec Mathini Travel nous a permis de découvrir plein de beaux endroits à l’écart des zones trop touristiques.”
JOURNEY TO THE ROCK-CUT TEMPLES
"We are back home after exciting time in India. I am grateful to Mathini Travel for expert tour arrangements which commenced on October 7, 2019. We did Maharastra and Vrindavan and Mathura. We didn’t have much idea about where and how to do the tour. Mathini took the interest to organize the tours with minor details. For example arranged the days of tour accommodating closing days of Ellora and Ajanta Caves. We wouldn’t have done such pleasant tour without her. She was very flexible about payments. Our flight which we booked at the end of the tour was postponed by a day, but she made sure the Airport transport was rearranged for our convenience. My past tour of Rajasthan with her prompted me to get her help again. I have no doubt that she has great first hand knowledge and expertise of touring India. I look forward to next trip with her! Wishing her Best in her Tour services."

Mathini understood our needs as photographers and prepared a tailor-made tour that filled all our expectations and with a very reasonable budget!
