Trips for women in India

More and more women are looking for a way of traveling that goes beyond simply visiting places. They want to better understand the destination, feel supported throughout the journey, discover different realities from within, and experience travel in a meaningful way. With this in mind, the women’s journeys in India offered by  Tours By Her are designed specifically for women who want to explore the country through a more conscious, human, and locally connected perspective.

At Tours By Her, we design and lead experiences together with local women, with the goal of empowering women and girls through responsible tourism while offering an authentic perspective on everyday life, history, and the cultural richness of the country. We do not see India as a checklist of monuments or as a superficial travel destination, but as a living, diverse, and complex place that deserves to be explored through connection, cultural immersion, and meaningful encounters with the people who live there.

Our project was born in India, the country that taught us to see the world differently. It was there that we discovered that travel can be much more than moving from one place to another: it can be a way to learn, connect, share experiences, and create positive impact. That is why we create journeys that invite women to discover the country from within, accompanied by local women and through a way of traveling that places people, communities, and the stories that shape each place at the center of the experience.

Our way of traveling is rooted in a very clear belief: travel can be a tool for change. We believe in responsible tourism that benefits not only those who travel, but also the communities that welcome and share these experiences. We believe in female leadership, intercultural learning, and the importance of creating real opportunities for women in the places where we work.

That is why our experiences are guided by local women and connected to projects, collectives, and initiatives that are part of the living fabric of each destination. We want those who travel with us to connect with everyday life in India — its neighborhoods, markets, spiritual spaces, community projects, and the stories of the women who are driving real change in their communities.

We are not interested in offering a distant or superficial perspective. We believe in a way of traveling that encourages understanding, listening, and sharing experiences. We want every journey to open a door to local culture and every encounter to have meaning. For us, travel is not only about seeing places, but about creating genuine human connection.

One of the biggest questions many women travelers have is how a journey like this is actually organized. At  Tours By Her, we offer private tours, shared group tours, and tailor-made journeys. Each format responds to a different way of experiencing travel.

Private tours allow for greater flexibility. We can adapt them to specific interests, personal rhythms, and individual preferences. They are a great option for travelers looking for a more intimate, personalized experience with an itinerary tailored to their needs.

Shared tours, on the other hand, are designed for women who want to discover India as part of a group and share the experience with other travelers. In these cases, we offer scheduled departure dates and take care of all logistics so the journey can be experienced in a smooth, supportive, and enriching way.

We also offer tailor-made journeys. This allows us to design personalized experiences ranging from one-day excursions to longer routes across different regions of the country. In these cases, we organize the logistics according to the needs of each traveler or group, always aiming to create an experience that is thoughtful, comfortable, and meaningful.

We want this part of the process to feel personal and approachable. We do not want travelers to feel that they are choosing a closed product without context, but rather an experience that can be built together with them and for them. That is why we encourage women to contact us, share their ideas, needs, or concerns, and have a conversation about the journey before turning it into reality.

When a woman traveler considers a journey to India, she needs to know which parts of the trip are already taken care of and what she will need to organize herself. That is why our travel pages provide practical information and clearly explain what is included and what is not.

In some of our multi-day itineraries, we include accommodation, breakfast, guide services, and transportation. Certain journeys also include airport transfers. We want travelers to move through India with peace of mind, feeling that the main structure of the trip is carefully organized and fully supported.

As for what is usually not included, this often involves international flights, travel insurance, or meals. This follows a practical logic: travelers depart from different cities, each person may prefer to organize transportation differently, and travel insurance should be arranged individually. Even so, we provide all the necessary information to ensure that this part of the process remains clear and straightforward.

At the same time, we believe it is important to highlight that our journeys are not defined only by a list of services. Beyond accommodation or transportation, they include something that is essential to us: context, guidance, and meaningful experiences. Our itineraries include iconic places, but also workshops, bazaars, vibrant neighborhoods, rides with women rickshaw drivers, community projects, encounters with local families, and spaces where culture is experienced in a close, authentic, and human way.

Delhi is a key destination within many of our journeys. For us, it is not only a capital city full of history and monuments, but also a place where travelers can begin to understand the complexity and richness of India through a more local and human perspective.

When we think about Delhi, we think about a city where heritage, spirituality, markets, everyday life, and the energy of communities transforming their surroundings coexist side by side. That is why our experiences in Delhi do not focus only on iconic landmarks, but also aim to bring travelers closer to the reality of the city through multiple perspectives.

In some of our itineraries, Delhi becomes the starting point for a broader journey across northern India. There, we combine visits to emblematic places with experiences connected to local projects and women’s empowerment initiatives. We want travelers to discover the city in all its diversity — from its historic and spiritual spaces to its vibrant and resilient communities.

One of the places that reflects this approach is Sanjay Colony, a community where travelers can witness firsthand the innovation, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit of the people who live there. Including spaces like this in our journeys reflects a very specific philosophy of travel: we do not want Delhi to be experienced only through postcard images, but also through the everyday life that sustains and transforms the city.

We are also interested in showing how Delhi expresses itself through its religious traditions, street food, historic neighborhoods, and the everyday energy of its streets. Delhi can be intense, complex, and fascinating, and we believe that exploring it through a local and female-centered perspective helps travelers experience the city with greater safety, deeper context, and a more meaningful understanding.

Mumbai holds another very special place within our experiences in India. It is a vibrant city full of contrasts, with an energy that flows through every neighborhood and every street. But beyond its rhythm and urban scale, we are interested in presenting Mumbai as a place of stories, communities, and encounters that allow travelers to understand the city from within.

One of the clearest examples of this way of traveling is our experience in Dharavi. There, we invite travelers to discover the neighborhood through the perspective of a local woman, walking through streets, markets, and workshops to better understand the creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit of the community. It is very important to us that this experience is approached with respect, without falling into superficial or intrusive perspectives.

Throughout this journey, we also connect with a women’s cooperative and educational initiatives developed alongside local organizations. For us, this perfectly reflects what we aim to offer in Mumbai: an experience that goes beyond observation and allows travelers to better understand the city’s social fabric and the role many women play in its everyday transformation.

Mumbai is also part of some of our longer itineraries, either as a starting point or as an arrival destination. In these cases, the city becomes a first gateway into India. We enjoy welcoming travelers, accompanying them through their first contact with the country, and offering a space where they can begin to orient themselves, discover iconic places, and immerse themselves in the city’s energy before continuing their journey.

We believe that Mumbai has so much to offer travelers seeking an urban experience with meaning: lively neighborhoods, social initiatives, heritage, popular culture, and a closer connection to the people who make the city what it is. That is why our experiences there always aim to go beyond a quick visit and open the door to a more genuine connection with the place.

In addition to our urban tours,  Tours By Her organizes multi-day journeys for travelers who wish to explore India in a deeper and more expansive way. These itineraries allow travelers to discover different regions of the country and immerse themselves in its landscapes, cultures, traditions, and communities through a slower and more meaningful perspective.

Among our journeys are experiences such as Golden Triangle, Sacred North India, Essential North India, Royal Rajasthan, and Secrets of the South. Each of these itineraries has its own unique character, but all share the same philosophy of travel: combining heritage, local life, authentic experiences, and meaningful encounters that help travelers better understand the territory and its people.

The Golden Triangle is one of the great gateways into the country, with stops in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. It is a deeply significant route for those who want to discover some of India’s most iconic places while also engaging with its culture from a more thoughtful and immersive perspective.

Essential North India offers a transformative journey through several northern cities, combining history, architecture, spirituality, and experiences with local women and communities that are creating meaningful change within their surroundings. Royal Rajasthan, meanwhile, allows travelers to explore iconic cities, desert landscapes, and a cultural richness deeply connected to the identity of the region.

In the south, Secrets of the South offers immersion into ancient temples, rural life, heritage, coastal landscapes, and encounters with women who preserve traditions while creating new opportunities within their communities. It is a journey that brings together beauty, calm, culture, and human connection.

We want these multi-day journeys to feel like more than just a sequence of destinations. For us, they are coherent travel experiences in which each place adds a new layer of understanding, connection, and discovery.

We know that many women travelers want to understand who is behind a journey like this before taking the next step — and we believe that is completely natural. When it comes to this kind of travel experience, it is important to feel closeness, trust, and the reassurance that behind the organization there are real people with a clear vision and a genuine connection to the destination.

At  Tours By Her, we describe ourselves as women of the world, global educators, conscious travelers, and creators of transformative experiences. We are a team that believes in a world that is more just, more equal, more inclusive, and more human, and we bring this perspective into the way we design every journey.

On our website, we also introduce part of the team that makes these experiences possible. Among us are Teresa and Clara as co-founders; Neetha as accounts manager; Pammy and Priya as local guides; and Marta as educational programs coordinator. For us, it is important to put faces behind the project and show that every journey is supported by real people who guide, coordinate, and care for the experience from beginning to end.

We also work closely with local women, organizations, and community initiatives that actively shape our itineraries. This collaborative network allows us to create experiences that are more authentic, more responsible, and more deeply connected to the realities of each destination.

People often ask us what makes our journeys different from more traditional travel experiences. The answer lies in the way we understand each journey itself.

What matters to us is that travelers can connect with local communities, discover women-led initiatives, experience culture beyond the surface, and feel that their journey creates a positive impact. We also place great importance on safety, guidance, and thoughtful planning throughout every stage of the experience.

We believe that many women are not simply looking for a destination, but for an experience where they can feel safe, inspired, and connected to their own values. That is why we try to ensure that every journey combines structure and freedom, beauty and context, discovery and respect.

When we speak about women’s journeys in India, we are speaking about a different way of exploring the country. We are speaking about traveling with support, discovering places at a slower pace, connecting with local women, learning to see the destination from within, and opening yourself to experiences that leave a lasting impact through what they teach and what they allow you to share.

From Delhi to Mumbai, from the Golden Triangle to southern India, our journeys bring together heritage, gastronomy, spirituality, everyday life, social initiatives, and authentic encounters with women and communities that enrich every experience. We like to think that we do not simply offer trips, but a more conscious, more personal, and more transformative way of experiencing India.

For women who wish to discover the country with purpose, safety, and a more human perspective, this is an invitation to explore India from within. To travel through it not only with your eyes, but also with curiosity, openness, and the genuine desire to connect with everything that makes the country unique.
