Reizen naar India

One family, two countries

We are not a travel agency. We are a family that knows India from the inside, lives in the Netherlands, and has been travelling back and forth together for years. Now we take you along.

How it started

I am Saurav, born and raised in India and now officially a Dutch citizen. I work as a software engineer and have lived in the Netherlands for four years. Cecillia, my wife, is from Friesland.

Together we have travelled to India several times, and not just the two of us: Cecillia's parents came along as well. For them it was their first time in India, and it went exactly the way it always does for us: my family waiting at the airport, the hotels arranged, and all they had to do was look.

Those trips showed us what a difference it makes to have family on both sides. At the same time we kept meeting people who would love to see India but don't dare: too dangerous, or too much to arrange themselves with young children. Because we travel with fewer worries, we want to share that comfort. That is how Reizen naar India came about: one trip a year, small, careful, and with people who come along instead of an office you call.

Four people, one team

Saurav & Cecillia

We are your point of contact before the trip: the intake call, the preparation evening, help with the visa, flight and insurance. You simply speak Dutch or English with us, about everything, from questions about India to the details of the trip.

Priyanka & Naman

Priyanka is Saurav's sister. She is a software engineer too, for a Dutch company, and has been to the Netherlands three times, so she knows exactly how Dutch travellers like to travel. Naman is her husband. Together they are the brains of the operation in India: they arrange the hotels, transport and guides, check everything beforehand and travel with us for the whole trip.

How we work

Small

At most 8 travellers per trip. So everyone fits in one minibus and at one table.

Honest

The full price breakdown is on the site: what you pay and what for, with no surprises on the spot.

Calm

Rather two nights in one place than packing every day. We travel the way we want to travel ourselves.

Personal

You know us before you leave. Intake call, preparation evening, and the same faces on the road.

Koken uit India

Indian cooking workshops and lessons in Heerenveen, by Saurav. A good way to get to know us before you come along, and to get to know real Indian food.
