Palanquin Travels

We specialise in adventure travel in often remote and fragile places. Our adventurous travellers are concerned to engage with local communities and appreciate the balance and symbiosis between humankind and nature. We run a select series of small specialist led tours each season to only the best managed wildlife reserves and we decry the increasing attitude of certain Indian States that wildlife should be subjected to mass tourism. We support and practice conservation and we make donations of £50 per wildlife client to TOFT and other charities who are active in this cause.

Our India specialists have all travelled extensively to their chosen country, and in some cases lived there, so you can rely on their first-hand knowledge. They have boundless enthusiasm for India and its wildlife and take an honest "tell it how it is" approach to planning an itinerary, suggesting sights, selecting accommodation and discussing the practicalities of travel. We also insist that they regularly revisit India, meticulously inspect hotels and keep up to date with all travel-related issues. We believe this approach is unique to Audley and ultimately ensures that you will have the best possible travel experience.
