Our Story
Life-changing, Authentic and Fun-filled Journeys
You can rest-assured that when you tour with us, you will experience the real India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Australia. With Touch of Spirit Tours you will meet local people, try authentic food, and visit out-of-the-way, unknown places. Of course, you will still visit the amazing famous sights. Also, spontaneous activities (like festivals or parades) often happen, and because our group sizes are small, we are often able to be more flexible and participate in these
In keeping the tours authentic our thinking is simple, why visit these countries if you do not wish to experience their real essence?
Adventure and self-discovery
We hold adventure and self-discovery in the highest regard and this is reflected in all of our tours. For some, travelling to India and these other countries and being welcomed by such a vast and diverse culture can be a surprise. As such, we encourage our travellers to immerse themselves in the activities of the itinerary and share in the new and joyful experiences of the group.
Personal well-being – on all levels - is very important to us. As such, we have developed a number of tours with an emphasis on health and well-being to invigorate the body, mind and spirit. These tours offer the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, health and nutrition education, yoga and ashrams, spiritual development, fitness and personal empowerment. The ‘Land of the Gods’ provides the perfect backdrop for these classes and modalities to take place – do not be surprised if a little magic happens! Other tours we have created that come under the ‘well-being banner’ is volunteering with under-privileged children and others. Volunteering is an awesome way to make a difference in the world, both for the giver and the receiver. It is extremely good ‘medicine’ for the heart.
Innovation
It is our mission to constantly innovate and provide a service that remains relevant, fresh and awe-inspiring. To achieve this, we work with some of the finest professionals including Nutritionists, Yoga Instructors, Vedic & Buddhist Scholars, Spiritual Healers and well-regarded members of the tourism industry. By joining forces with these experts we are able to bring a variety of options to our tours, which are constantly being updated to ensure that they remain the best.
Responsibility
We take our responsibility to you as well as the people and places we visit seriously. Our tour leaders are not only conscientious by nature, but are specially-trained to help ensure your welfare and that of all who come into contact with our tours. Touch of Spirit Tours also acknowledges the effect that tourism has on the environment of the countries we visit and makes every attempt to minimise our impact. We also support various Indian charities.
