Listing the ports, geographical features and other coastal landmarks.
The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea was written over 2000 years ago and gives detailed routing of the Erythraean (Red) Sea with important descriptions of coast of India as well. The text is widely regarded as an important source of ancient Indian maritime history and is the inspiration for the name of our company – Periplus Travel.
We are approved by the Department of Tourism, Government of India, and are a member of the Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO). We have own offices in North (Delhi) and South India (Cochin) as well as a vast network of associate offices in over 30 cities of India. We enjoy a very good reputation and goodwill in the Indian travel industry.
The ‘Periplus difference’ emanates from the spirit of travel and the passion for India that we share. The palpable difference is reflected right from the first communication with our travel consultants wherein you would receive comprehensive and well thought out replies. We are rather old-fashioned and insist on devising holidays after exhaustive discussions on the most-suitable and best available options for your peculiar travel needs.
Our team has decades of experience in organizing travel related services in India. We travel extensively within India every year and offer you first hand information on routes, itineraries and hotels.
Our tour managers are available 24/7 for any assistance to the clients.
We have direct wholesale rate contracts with hotels across India…a price advantage we extend to you.
All the hotels we use have been personally inspected by us so as to offer most suitable accommodation and value for money.
We know all these hotels personally and have worked with them for numerous years.
We offer a wide range of transport vehicles - from a variety of cars to standard/luxury/volvo buses to private planes. Our transport is subjected to a very high standard of safety and quality control regime to ensure that they are in perfect condition. We carefully select the drivers on the basis of expert driving on Indian roads, safety record and courteous behaviour. All our vehicles are stocked with free bottled water and snacks.
We have a repertoire of superb guides who take you through the cultural maze that India is and unravel its mysteries. These are not typical “tour guides”. Rather, our guides are consummate local experts on natural and cultural history who care that you enjoy yourself and get the most out of your holiday. They ensure that your journey is interesting, enriching and fun.
Our specialist itineraries are meticulously planned after exhaustive discussions on the most suitable and best options for you and are rooted in knowledge of each destination. The focus of our itineraries is to take you behind the scenes and connect you with real people. We believe the best way to know a country and people is through close interaction with its popular culture.
