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.

Be authentic and human centered
Support local artisans, communities, and healers
Foster real connections, not just photo opportunities
Leave a positive imprint on both the traveler and the place
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.
We take you beyond the usual tourist spots, uncovering hidden gems and local experiences that aren’t in any guidebook. It’s about authentic encou-nters, not just sightseeing.
We believe in giving back. Our journeys support local communities, preserve cultu re, and minimize environm ental impact—ensuring travel benefits both visitors and locals.
The best moments can’t be planned. From spont-aneous detours to serendipitous discover ies, we embrace the unexp-ected, making every trip unique and unforgettable.
Travel is about people. We connect you with locals art isans, storytellers, and families so you don’t just visit a place; you become part of its story.
Is it the places you visit, the people you meet, or the memories you take home? We believe it’s all of these—and more. It’s about feeling connected to the world around you, not just passing through.
The people. Traveling in small groups helps you connect with others, turning fellow explorers into friends. Our local guides don’t just take you from one place to another—they bring destinations to life with stories, history, and hidden gems only locals know.
We keep travel simple and stress-free. No rushed schedules or overwhelming checklists—just well-planned trips that let you enjoy the moment. Our journeys offer the perfect mix of exciting experiences and free time to explore on your own.
They go beyond sightseeing. Imagine sharing a home-cooked meal with a local family, learning traditions passed down for generations, or discovering secret spots most tourists never find. These moments make travel memorable and meaningful.
