About

The story of Indian Panorama stretches back 25 years when Faith, a New Zealander on a backpacking trip, visited India for the first time and fell irrevocably in love with the place. She made her home in South India, and initially the company she founded was based on escorted group tours.

Shortly afterwards, Pandian became involved, and the roots of the company which we are today began to form in the late 90s and over the early 2000s. We now specialise in assisted, independent travel and our organisation has grown steadily.

It’s hard to imagine now how organising tours was possible in the early years when mobile phones were unknown and internet extremely unstable! From humble beginnings, the company’s reputation for top-level service and setting new standards spread across firstly South India, then the whole country, as well as with our clients in every corner of the globe.

Even though the company is now much bigger, the standards set in those early days, of each client being special, nothing being too much trouble and exhaustive attention to detail, remain at the heart of what we do. The unique Western/Indian blend which underpinned the start of the company means we are still unique in understanding both the allure of India to our overseas visitors, and the on-ground reality of how things really work in this country.

This knowledge now extends through the whole team. Regardless of whether you are in touch with Faith's brother Tim (who joined the company in 2006) or any of our tour planners throughout the country, you will get the same personalised service and attention to detail.

We look forward to welcoming you to this vibrant and enchanting land, with open hearted people and a myriad of sights, sounds and experiences awaiting you.
