‘A career in travel consulting spanning 45 years, so far, began in the tea plantations and wilderness of Assam in north-east India, still a fascinating region today. Curiosity and my interest in architecture, art, cuisine, history, nature and textiles led to discovery and learning across the huge Indian subcontinent, and this continues.

​

I founded Quo Vadis so I could create special interest, custom itineraries for private travellers as well as for institutions and affinity groups. My team and I deliver this by treating each customer as unique and by enriching every itinerary with our signature knowledge, creativity, quality and reliability.

Our belief is that the Indian Subcontinent – India, Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka – is the ultimate destination for the curious traveller.’

‘I started my career in travel 20 years ago, gaining a strong knowledge of airlines - hugely helpful in my work today. At the same time, I found myself drawn to the vibrant landscapes and rich cultures of my homeland, and my passion for exploration took off. It became my driving force.

My motorbike and I went all over the country, even up to Ladakh in the high Himalaya region, as I gained extensive travel experience. Inspired by this and the joy of helping others explore my incredible country, I am committed to shaping unforgettable travel memories.

​

My team and I believe in personalised service, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Through this, we have built long-lasting relationships with our many repeat clients.’

'I believe that true adventure lies at the intersection of exhilaration and refinement. I  understand that luxury travel is not simply about opulent accommodations and gourmet dining - it is an immersive, transformative journey that resonates with the soul.

​

My favourite journey in India, from Mangalore to Goa, passes through a picturesque paradise. The road unravels before me, a mesmerising fusion of azure coastlines, lush green landscapes, and vibrant cultural enclaves.  The fresh sea breeze caresses my face, the crashing of waves serenade my ears.

I create tailor-made itineraries of equal magic, so each one reflects reflects the aspirations and passions of my clients.  With my keen eye for detail, I include excitement, elegance, and unparalleled experiences.'

‘I now live back in the UK having spent two decades in the US.  For almost 40 years I have been working with Reet to help curious travellers visit the subcontinent.  My visits there are fuelled by little cups of steaming chai (tea) as I inspect new and established hotels, and explore more corners of this fascinating land.   

​

With my deep interest in all aspects of India, historic and current, I create itineraries and events of all kinds - a museum trip, wedding party, family holiday, absolutely anything!  These are for independent travellers and groups, and sometimes I accompany them.

​

My aim: each person has the best possible personal experience.

My reward: when someone is so bowled over that they return to see more.  And lots do!’

'I live in London.  I joined Quo Vadis in 2008 and have arranged many trips for independent travellers throughout India, Bhutan and Nepal. I have arranged tours focussing on architecture and textiles, some accompanied by scholars. 

Over the years, my travels have taken me to almost every region in India, some of which I have visited frequently. I have personally accompanied small group special-interest tours to Gujarat, Rajasthan, Odisha, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kashmir and central India.

India never ceases to amaze – its people, cultures and traditions, remarkable history, the juxtaposition of old and new, colours, markets are a source of endless fascination and new discoveries every time around.'
