“I fell in love with India during my first trips in 2000 and 2001. Years later, through my teacher and friend Roger Gabriel, I discovered Athma Tours and returned in 2011—followed by four more unforgettable journeys. With each visit, India grew deeper in my heart. What made every trip truly special was the exceptional care from Jai, Roger, and Mallika. Roger is an extraordinary tour leader—attentive, reassuring, and always creating meaningful experiences. I have always felt safe, supported, and inspired. It’s true what they say: you may leave India, but India never leaves you.”

"I traveled to India in 2007. The experience was both magical and deeply transforming. Even today, I get goosebumps as I look back and remember that time with immense gratitude and love. "

This North India journey was not only visually breathtaking, but deeply transformative on a spiritual level. Thoughtfully curated by Athma tours, every experience—from the Ganga Aartis and pujas to the ashrams and group meditations led by Roger—felt immersive, meaningful, and beautifully held. In that sacred atmosphere, something profound unfolded within me. I felt the gentle, loving presence of my recently departed husband in a way that words can hardly express—no longer a memory, but something alive, surrounding and comforting me. It was both tender and powerful, a true sense of grace. Thanks to Mallika & Roger, I felt supported , uplifted, and deeply connected throughout. A truly unforgettable journey - thank you. 🙏

North India Tour 2026
Athma Tours delivered a seamless, magical, and truly transformative journey. At times the travel was demanding, but it was more than rewarded by the incredible people we met along the way, including the inspiring ashram leader in Rishikesh. This has been a life-enhancing experience—one that opened my heart and deepened my sense of connection and awareness. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking love, healing, and a higher level of consciousness.With gratitude 🙏❤️

The Love Thief Tour , 2026
I was one of the lucky ones to experience the tailored South India trip that Athma Tours curated for us with our meditation teacher Roger this last February! I could never have organised such a trip without their assistance and knowledge, everything was planned down the every details! It was a perfect mix of culture, sightseeing, talk, meditation and gastronomy with like minded people. Thank you for this beautiful and unforgettable experience !

North India Tour, 2026
You’re in great hand with Athma Tours!
Our 5-week tour of South and North India with Athma Tours was better than we could’ve ever imagined. Our tour guides, Mallika, Asoka and Ramesh, were all very knowledgeable about the local history and geography, temples, shrines, palaces and people, as well as shopping opportunities. Our accommodations were amazing - from heritage hotels, to backwater tropical paradise. The white glove care with which Mallika oversaw everything was above and beyond our wildest expectations. If we are lucky enough to visit India again, we will definitely book with Athma Tours! Namaste.
