Your Questions, Honestly Answered

We understand that choosing a journey to India is a significant decision. Here are our honest answers to the questions we hear most often.

Is this trip right for me?
Our journeys are crafted for curious, open-minded travelers seeking meaning over conventional luxury. If you are a solo traveler, a couple, or a friend who values authenticity, depth, and personal growth, you will feel right at home. No prior yoga or India experience is needed.
How do you ensure safety, especially for solo female travelers?
Safety is our foundation. We use trusted, vetted private drivers, stay in secure and reputable accommodations, and have a 24/7 on-ground support system. Our guides are trained to navigate every situation, ensuring a constant feeling of security and care.
What is included in the price? Is it truly all-inclusive?
The price covers all accommodations, all meals as specified in the itinerary, all ground transport within India, all guided tours, workshop fees, and wellness sessions. The only thing not included is your international flight, visa, personal travel insurance and individual Ayruvedic therapies. There are no hidden fees.
What about food, water, and health?
We exclusively dine at clean, trusted restaurants and homes that we have personally vetted. Bottled or filtered water is provided at all times. Before your trip, you will receive a comprehensive guide on packing, health precautions, and everything you need to feel prepared.
How large will the group be?
We cap our groups at a maximum of 16 travelers. This intimate size allows for genuine connection, personal attention from your guide, and the flexibility to create a true small-group experience.
Will I have any free time?
Yes, balance is essential to our philosophy. While our days are rich with curated experiences, we intentionally integrate moments of unscheduled time. These interludes are designed for you to rest, reflect, and absorb the journey at your own pace, ensuring you feel renewed, not rushed.
What makes Lakshmi Trails different from other tour companies?
We are a cultural bridge, not just a tour operator. Our difference lies in our deep, respectful relationships with local communities, our focus on inner transformation over sightseeing, and the personal, founder-led guidance that ensures a journey of unparalleled depth and safety.
What kind of travelers join these trips?
Our groups are diverse — often solo travelers, couples, and conscious explorers between 30–60. What unites them is a desire for depth, presence, and authentic cultural connection. Many become friends for life.
