Bhavana Experiences means cultivating or feeling an emotion in ancient Sanskrit. We are dedicated to creating guided tours of India where you feel safe and comfortable, allowing you to immerse yourself in the magic of the country fully. Our aim is for your experience with us to broaden your horizons and enrich your mind.
Bhavana Experiences was founded by Ruby in 2019. Originally from Leeds, Ruby has spent most of the past seven years living and travelling in India. Her journeys and deep knowledge of the country inspire our tours, allowing us to offer a unique blend of iconic landmarks and off-the-beaten-track experiences.

What sets Bhavana Experiences apart is our commitment to pre-tour support, ensuring you feel well-prepared before your journey begins. Our tours offer the chance to join a small, like-minded travelling community, fostering connections and shared experiences. We bridge the gap between group tours and independent travel by providing off-the-beaten-track experiences that offer a unique perspective on India beyond the usual tourist routes. With us, you’ll enjoy a balance between independent exploration and a well-organised itinerary, giving you the freedom to discover and adventure while benefiting from expert guidance.

We also organise bespoke tours. Please get in touch if you’d like us to plan your dream India tour, or fill out the form below, and we’ll reach out.
