Anne Marie: I am French, fascinated by India & I’ve been working in the tourism sector for 17 years. I have traveled extensively all over the region & I would like to show you the same in an authentic way. I started Namaste Voyages with Binay who has same sprit like mine.

I first came here 25 years ago as a tourist. Since then I started coming here every year as a tourist & later as a tour leader for different French association & companies I began to discover the beauty and cultural uniqueness of each & every part of this country. Since 14 years I am permanently settled down here in Delhi & am working as a travel agent. I do accompany some of my clients. Over these long years that’ I’ve spent in India I have gained lot of experience in the field of, art, culture, tradition, religion & even speak Hindi!



Binay: I am from Darjeeling, worked as trek & tour guide for many years, before to start Namaste Voyages with Anne Marie. I lead some of the treks & motorbike tours in India, Nepal & Bhutan!

Earlier I used to work as free lance tour & trek leader in Darjeeling, Sikkim, Nepal & Bhutan. Thereafter we started this travel company some 8 years ago. Though I am very found of the mountains but I equally love to discover the different parts of my country (India), the diversity of its people, culture & tradition can fascinate anyone. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to travel with us to experience India.



Why to travel with us?
We know all of us are not the same so our demands do vary. In order to provide a better service to our clients we believe in personalized service & we have gained quite a reputation over the years for our tailor made tours. We try to give you a totally different kind of experience by taking you deep inside the rural areas of the country, arranging your stay in the forts, places & in the havelis (traditional villas) of the cities & of the villages where most of the tourist may not imagine going.

Our programs: The programs we propose here are just to give you an idea about our tours, but we have much more to offer, we believe it is not important what we show but it is more important as to how we show.

We need little bit of information from you then we always try to design a tour in such a way so that you can feel/experience the local culture, mingle with the locals, and share their views/perspective & ideas, this we believe gives our clients an opportunity to experience real India and a  much better tour.

Our Hotels: For your stay during the tours with us we always choose and give preference to the heritage properties, such as old palaces turned into hotels, forts, havelis (traditional villas), etc, when ever possible. These properties can be very luxurious & rustic at the same time, but they all have some history & a charm behind it. We select these hotels by visiting them by our selves, & as per the feedback of the clients who travel with us.
Apart from heritage hotels we also use the modern & luxury hotels. All the hotel we propose are from 3* categories above.

Clients & Service: Our clients consist of executives from high-end Fashion companies, corporate to our regular clients known as “Fou d’inde”.  Some of them having already traveled with us for as many as 10 times & still continue to explore this exotic country with us.

We handle any short of tours professionally, whether it is an ultra Luxury Tours (including all the transfers in a private plane) or an ultra adventure tours, such as marathon in Himalaya or in the deserts of Thar.
