Everything in the universe – dead or alive – is connected. If your mind, body, and spirit are in harmony with the universe, you have good health. When something disrupts this balance, you get sick. Ayurvedic medicine (“Ayurveda” for short) is one of the world's oldest holistic (“whole-body”) healing systems. It was developed more than 3,000 years ago in India. It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Ayurveda's goal is to achieve health not by fighting diseases, but by working towards balance and harmony.
This trip is one such rejuvenating experience, where you will get to revive your body and soul through the carefully selected Ayurvedic therapies from highly competent professionals. The location of the resort where you will have this therapy will just make your experience even more delightful. It will a tranquil and peaceful place on the shores of a backwaters lake.
The trip culminates with a perfect leisure break at the pristine Marari Beach. It is a perfect way to end this rejuvenation trip.

We did 17 days in Southern India from Chennai to Kochi. The tour was amazing! Because we had our own car and driver, we were able to see so many things and had the freedom to stop for pictures, interact with local people and sample so many wonderful foods. Our driver, Raju was wonderful and his oft repeated phrase was “no problem sir (Ma’m)! He was a very safe driver through some perilous roads and was always there when we needed him. Our local guides were knowledgeable and good to help us learn and understand about the places and cultures. Our trip coordinator, Geet, reached out to us almost every day to check in and make sure everythi.... Read More
Thank you, Bout India, for the exhilarating holiday you organised for us and for allowing us flexibility. We recently returned from a fabulous 14-day holiday in India customised in detail by Bout India. In retrospect, from the initial friendly welcome at the airport in Mumbai and transfer by Mr Aryan to the final drop-off by Mr Vinish in Kerala, we were treated to the warmth of Indian hospitality. We were deftly chauffeured and guided through Mumbai's city highlights by our very own SRK, Shoheb and Dildar. Enlightened by articulate and knowledgeable guides throughout the Ellora, Kailash and Ajanta caves in Aurangabad was a blessing. .... Read More

Our recent trip to Rajasthan and Kerala with Bout India Tour exceeded all expectations.

It felt as though they had a deep understanding of what we were looking for—allowing us to explore the country's vibrant traditions, landscapes, and hidden gems, without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

We booked our tour around Rajasthan, Golden Triangle and Kerala with Bout India. The agency took excellent care of us. Everything was organised so well and we felt in very safe hands. In each destination our tour guides and drivers were friendly, experienced and extremely knowledgeable, and on the whole the hotels were of a very good standard and quality. The agency organised lots of amazing activities for us to do such as visiting palaces, forts, temples, cultural shows, jungle treks, jeep safaris, tea plantation visits and backwater cruising. The staff at Bout India are very helpful and were always in contact. We knew we could get assi.... Read More
I found Bout India through an internet search. Like anything unknown I was weary at first, but because of the immediate response I felt as though they were taking me seriously. Within days we had corresponded several times and had the basis of a tour. Himanshu was on hand at all times to help and advise - he was also not adverse to changing the programme, which happened several times. For 3 months we worked together to arrange our customised tour and when we arrived in India we were not disappointed. Everything that had been arranged - hotel reservations, flights, drivers - worked smoothly. The hotels were great and the .... Read More
We have just returned from an amazing private tour to Kerala and Mysore arranged by the team at Bout India Tours. After a wedding in Bangalore we wanted a fairly relaxed 9 days in the south but still get a good feel for the real India. Himanshu and our on the ground tour coordinator Chahat were fantastic. Communication was excellent and they were very responsive and flexible. We really felt we were in a safe pair of hands. The drivers and guides were friendly, professional and reliable. The guides were very knowledgable and happy to answer all our questions and again were very flexible as we requested some last minute cha.... Read More
We enjoyed all the places we visited in India. What we really liked were the people we met along the way. Our guides and drivers were amazing. They were kind, thoughtful and full of knowledge about the places we visited. We felt safe and cared for during the entire experience.
This is my 2nd trip to India with Bout India within 12 months, which should prove that they are the most trustworthy and efficient travel agent if you ever want to explore the amazing country, India. What I love about Bout India is not only their professionalism but also their hospitality spirit and warm welcome to the country. ALL staff members are friendly and easy to communicate from the planning and the departure to your home country. They accommodated my 13 year old daughter and she is already talking about her next visit to India near future. Be open and experience something extraordinary!
Our 32-day trip by Bout India was a fantastic holiday, everything we hoped for and more, the whole journey was seamless. The amazing itinerary, created specifically for my wife and I was managed daily by the tour organiser, which included English speaking great guides at all attractions and most importantly the fabulous drivers. Our journey through the South and North of India included wonderful Hotels and many other spectacular accommodation experiences, highlighting the majesty of India. We highly recommend Bout India to create your ideal Indian trip, to be as memorable as ours. We organised our trip from Australia.... Read More
Just returned from an amazing tour of Kerala and Tamil Nadu coordinated by the capable folks at Bout India. The sights were beautiful, the people delightful and the food incredible. Our driver of the trip, Mr. Dennis, kept us on schedule and made us feel comfortable and safe. He made the trip even more memorable. Mr. Navel, our guide in Cochin provided knowledgeable insights into the history of this wonderful city. Can’t wait to plan our next journey with the folks at Bout India.
Booked this tour for our group of 10 that included children and grandparents. Communication was great leading up to the experience. Our driver/guide was personable, knowledgeable and flexible. Visited a beach that was clearly mostly locals and wonderful. He suggested a place to grab a quick bite before sunset at Poseidon. Overall great experience at a reasonable price.
Bout India did an excellent job in coordinating a 3 week tour of several regions that included multiple flights. Shakti was our driver for 2 weeks and was knowledgeable of all cities we visited and was highly professional. The vehicle was cleaned daily and stocked with snacks and drinks. The guides were specific to each city we visited and also knowledgeable. Everything was coordinated smoothly and airport pickups went without a hitch. We received daily itineraries from the Bout India office with information about the drivers and guides and their contact information. Any request was quickly responded to by management. Hotels were a mix of chain and local as appropriate for the city being visited.
