Heritage & Culture

Palaces, forts and temples, explained properly and visited at the right hour.

The real problem

What heritage & culture actually needs

Six monuments in one day leaves everybody tired and nobody any wiser. Heritage travel is far more enjoyable with a shorter, better-planned list.

We choose the places worth your time, visit them when they are at their best, and arrange a good local guide where one genuinely adds to the day.

Especially suited to

  • Rajasthan circuits
  • Temple architecture
  • Mughal cities
  • Visitors from abroad

What we plan for

The details that decide how the trip feels

  • Best time to visit

    Monuments are cooler, quieter and far more beautiful early in the morning.

  • Local guides

    Arranged wherever a good guide makes the visit more interesting.

  • Walking

    Monument grounds are larger than they look, so we plan the walking realistically.

  • Crafts and markets

    Genuine workshops and local markets, not tourist showrooms.

  • Cultural evenings

    Music, dance and food experiences that are worth attending.

  • Rest in the day

    A break in the afternoon, so the evening is still enjoyable.

A couple photographed together among greenery on their anniversary trip to Kerala

Kerala

“The journey, not the arrival, matters.” — T.S. Eliot. We wanted to celebrate the journey of our 20 years of togetherness and what can be the best way to do it than going on a vacation. So this time we choose the God's own country (Kerala). The moment we think of vacation we think of JP Travels. They had curated our earlier vacation too, so for us it was just packing our bags and hopping on to the flight. The rest of the arrangements were all looked after by them. The drive from the time we landed at Cochin to the time we headed back home was a very comfortable one with a cool driver who showed us all the places and also explained things to us with utmost patience. The resorts that we stayed in had all the amenities and was a comfortable stay. All in all it was an awesome and memorable vacation. The feather on the cap was the cake that was delivered to us on our anniversary as a special surprise which made our day all the more special. All thanks to Ms. Vimala and JP travels.

North India & Kerala

Hi Vimala, You were so great at organizing our trips to both North India and Kerala. We had a wonderful time and saw a lot of really cool places. We also got to learn a lot about Indian history! Not only were our guides and accommodations amazing, but you went above and beyond in caring for my family. You helped my grandparents completely reorganize their itinerary on a dime after they fell sick. You turned what could have been a disaster into a very successful adventure. We really appreciate how you made sure they were always cared for whether we were by their side or across the country from them. I would recommend your service to anyone traveling within India!

Hyderabad

We planned to visit Hyderabad for the first two days of the India v England cricket test match. We decided on staying for six days in order to see something of the rest of Hyderabad. We were able to cover all the prominent places in Hyderabad. We particularly enjoyed seeing the Charminar, Chowmahalla Palace and the Qutb Shahi Tombs which were in a truly remarkable state for 17th century Royal tombs. Ramoji Film City was fascinating, but we realised we could never match the moves shown by the dancers. Our first guide, Vijay was very knowledgeable and helpful to us. Hyderabad should be on the tourist trail for foreign visitors to India. Thank you for your help Vimala, we have really appreciated all the effort that has gone into giving us an enjoyable and special time in Hyderabad.
