A new name, built on fourteen years of India

Bespoke, experiential journeys through India and the subcontinent, planned and run from New Delhi.

rang

noun · Hindi · colour

Three women, and the whole of India

Our logo is three women, side by side, each dressed in the colours of a different India. They stand together for the traditions, languages and customs this country holds at once — and for the promise that a Rang journey shows you more than one of them.

Rang means colour. It is also the word for the mood of a place, and for the pitch a festival reaches when the whole village is in the courtyard. “Explore the colours of India” is not a slogan here; it is the brief for every itinerary we write.

Our story

A new name, built on long experience

Rang Travels began with a simple idea: journeys that feel personal, honest and impossible to forget. The name is new; the experience behind it is not.

Mamlesh Sahu and Rishi Chandel have spent fourteen years each in Indian inbound travel, working with travellers from all over the world and with the people who make a journey work — hotels, guides, drivers, transport partners and the communities along the way. Rang is the company they set out to build together, where professional service goes hand in hand with personal attention.

Because we know the destinations, the suppliers and the roads, we look after the details behind every journey — so that you can give your whole attention to India.

What we do

Journeys for every kind of traveller

For individual travellers, couples, families and private groups — and for travel companies around the world.

From the first conversation to the final departure, our own team looks after every detail of the journey.

How we work

From your first message to the road

01
Tell us the India you want
A month, a pace, the things you have always wanted to see — and the things you would rather avoid.
02
We design it, day by day
A written itinerary with every halt, distance and drive time, the hotels named and the price itemised. You change it until it is yours.
03
We run it — and often travel with you
Your own car and driver, a guide in every city, and a phone that is answered.

India through local eyes

The best way to know India is through its people

Our first-hand knowledge covers some of the country’s most fascinating regions, and many places few travellers reach.

We work with experienced local guides, naturalists and chauffeurs, and with hotels we have chosen with care, so that what you get is reliable and real.

A tiger stepping out of the forest at first light. A conversation with a family in their home. An old temple, a market in full colour, Holi in the street — the moments that stay with you long after you are home.

Explore the colours of India

A country with a different answer every hundred miles

Twenty-two official languages, eight classical dance forms, a festival almost every week of the year, and food that changes at every state border. A Rang journey is built to put you in front of as much of it as a fortnight allows.

Our approach

Five things we hold to

Personalised
No two travellers are the same. We listen first, then design around your interests, your pace and what you expect.
Experiential
Beyond the sightseeing: India’s culture, traditions, people, food, nature and everyday life.
Reliable
India needs strong local coordination. Our team stays with the journey, on the ground, whenever you need us.
Flexible
Plans change. We know the realities of travel in India, and work with our partners to find a practical answer.
Responsible
Travel should be good for the places and people you visit too — their cultures, traditions, wildlife and land.

Our promise

अतिथि देवो भव

Atithi Devo Bhava — the guest is God

It is an old Indian saying, and for us it is simply how hospitality works. We want everyone who travels with us to feel welcome, looked after and at ease from the first day to the last.

Arranging hotels, cars and sightseeing is only part of it. We connect the pieces of a journey, think ahead about the practical details, and make sure you can experience India comfortably, and as it really is.
