About Us

Who we are

At Meet the Gods, we believe travel should do more than take you places—it should root you in the stories, spirit, and soul of the land. Our journeys are crafted for those who seek to slow down, connect deeply, and experience South India in its most authentic form. But this journey doesn’t end with one visionary. It is continued and carried forward with love and passion by Tour India and its dedicated team—visionaries, artisans, culture keepers, and storytellers—who breathe life into every itinerary we design.
Our mission is not just about creating new paths. It’s about honoring the old ones, uplifting communities, and inviting travelers into something soulful, sacred, and sustainable.
This vision draws inspiration from the pioneering spirit of the late Babu Varghese, the legendary mind who reimagined Kerala’s backwaters and treetops into immersive experiences the world had never seen. He transformed humble rice barges into Kerala’s iconic houseboats and turned the elevated forest dwellings of indigenous tribes into enchanting treehouse stays, offering travelers a sacred, nature-bound experience.

Why

this name ?

Meet the Gods isn’t just a name. It’s an invitation.

In nature, we find the divine expressed through the five great elements: Water, Soil, Air, Fire (Eternity), and Earth. These elements surround us, shape us, and stir something deep within us. They can be seen, felt, and experienced, but they do not hold a single form. Much like our journeys.

With Meet the Gods, you won’t just visit places. You will experience the formless beauty of South India through its landscapes, rituals, flavors, people, and silences. Just as the elements cannot be confined, neither can the essence of travel with us. You will glide over tranquil waters, walk barefoot through sacred soil, breathe in the healing air of the hills, bask in timeless traditions, and feel the eternal pulse of the land.
The name Meet the Gods is not connected to any specific religion.

What

Makes Us Different?

Ever had a trip that stays with you forever? Not just the famous landmarks, but the unexpected moments—the ones you’d never find in a guidebook? That’s what we’re all about. Sure, we visit the must-see sights, but the real magic happens off the beaten path. It’s the tiny tea stalls where locals gather for stories, the hidden art galleries tucked away in quiet streets, and the family-run eateries where every dish has a story. These are the moments that turn a trip into something unforgettable. The kind you can’t plan, the kind you can’t Google—but the kind you’ll always remember.
Are you ready to explore beyond the obvious? Let’s go find the extraordinary in the unexpected.
