Suitcase With Soul creates premium, tailor-made journeys across India for travellers who want to experience more than the country's famous sights.
Every trip is curated around the traveller, bringing together local culture, nature and everyday life with opportunities to meet the people behind the places you visit. Rather than rushing through a checklist of attractions, itineraries are designed to give you more time to understand each destination and the stories that make it special.
From where you stay to the people you meet along the way, local communities are kept at the centre of the experience, helping more of what you spend contribute to livelihoods within the places you visit.

The experiences listed are examples of what can be included in a tailor made itinerary customised to your interest
There is no one-size-fits-all itinerary. Your trip is built around your interests, travel style and the side of India you're most curious to discover. Whether you're drawn to nature, culture, food or everyday local life, Suitcase With Soul brings those interests together into a journey that goes beyond the usual tourist routes while still offering the comfort and care expected from a premium trip.
Meet people, not just places
Getting to know India means getting to know its people. Spend time with local communities and discover stories, traditions and everyday life that can easily be missed on a conventional itinerary. From meeting local artisans and producers to sharing food and learning about traditions passed down through generations, these experiences bring a more personal side of India into your trip and give you the time to actually get to know the people you meet.
More value in local hands
Local livelihoods are considered throughout the way trips are planned, with small businesses and communities playing an important role in the experience. The aim is to keep more tourism income within the places you visit, so the benefits of your trip extend to the people and businesses you meet along the way.
Suitcase With Soul was founded by Anuradha after she left a 15-year career with the United Nations to bring together two things she had long cared about: travel and social change.
She created Suitcase With Soul around the belief that exploring India could be about more than visiting its famous sights, bringing travellers closer to local people and everyday life while ensuring more of the value created by tourism reaches local communities.
