Adventure Tours

Adventure Tours

Our catalogue of innovative adventure programs range from soft and moderate trekking, cycling and safari tours in north India, Kerala and Rajasthan to more skilled and high-altitude activities across Ladakh and Zanskar, Himalayan regions of Himachal Pradesh, Garhwal, Sikkim, Nepal and Bhutan. These include moderate to challenging trekking programs, high-altitude biking and cycling tours, jeep safaris and specialist experiential adventures for families, small groups and independent travellers.

Over the last decade, our focus on developing soft adventure programs such as walking and trekking, cycling tours and tiger safaris in popular leisure destinations of Kerala and Rajasthan have been great successes and given KVT a pioneering distinction in developing innovative travel experiences that combine the cultural riches and natural abundance in these places with an active thrill of participatory adventure.

Culture and Nature Tours

Culture and Nature Tours

India’s vast cultural and natural diversity has always been a secret of its attraction. From Taj Mahal to Thanjavur, Thar desert to tiger sanctuaries, our tours celebrate this rich abundance of culture and nature with off-the-beaten-track perspectives that are authentic, engaging and equally rewarding to both new and returning visitors.

These include cultural and discovery tours around Taj Mahal and north India, Rajasthan and Gujarat, Kerala and south India; wildlife tours across India’s national parks, sanctuaries and tiger reserves and specialist experiential tours such as ancient buddhist pilgrimage trails, rural programs, culinary tours, home stays, yoga and ayurveda retreats.

Schools and Charities

Schools and Charities

The diversity of landscape combined with an unmatched cultural and social appeal attracts thousands of specialist and discerning travellers to India each year exploring a particular interest or traveling around a specific theme.

Over the last two decades we have had the opportunity to work with a variety of schools and leading charities from around the world in helping them create and deliver unique and focused India programmes that provide a multi-activity mix of soft-adventure activities and immersive cultural experiences carefully designed around subject theme and project goals.

Some of these activities include:

  • Student cultural exchange programmes.
  • Soft trekking in Ladakh, Himachal and Garhwal Himalayas.
  • Charity trekking and cycling challenges.
  • Clean the Himalayas campaign (sustainable tourism initiative)
  • Projects with local charities and community development organisations.

Climbing Expeditions

Climbing Expeditions

It is no secret that Himalayas offer some of the greatest mountain climbing opportunities for every one with a spirit of adventure and a daring will to challenge one of its majestic peaks. Mountain climbing in the Indian Himalayas requires prior authorisation and permission from the Government of India regulated through the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF). Expeditions from overseas are also required to pay a peak royalty fee (amount depending on the peak height, location etc.) and a specific liaison officer is assigned for each expedition.

As an IMF registered adventure tour operator, KVT can take care of all official formalities including regulatory permissions, peak bookings, clearances etc. With our niche adventure expertise and most importantly, our experience of handling hundreds of climbing expeditions across Indian Himalayas, you can depend on our efficient and top-quality ground infrastructure, highest standards of safety, quality control and award-winning local expertise that are vital for the success of every climbing expedition.
