In 2006, Touch of Spirit Tours embarked on its first adventure through India.
The small, but determined, party of travellers went on an expedition of self-discovery and spiritual transformation. The trip was an incredible success and marked the beginning of a new and inspiring journey, which Touch of Spirit Tours continues today.
Now offering more than 12 life-changing programs, as well as the option for travellers to tailor-design their own unique program, the business has expanded considerably over the years. Authentic tours are now offered through India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Tibet.
Nevertheless, we have never lost sight of our primary mission, which is:
“To offer travellers the most rewarding and authentic journey, with a focus on cultural experiences, self-discovery, health and fulfillment”
Values
Our values are what separate us from other tour companies. When you choose Touch of Spirit Tours you can be confident that we take each of these seriously:
Always real, never contrived
You can rest-assured that when you tour with us, you will experience the “real” country. With Touch of Spirit Tours you will meet local people, try authentic food, and visit out-of-the-way, unknown places. Of course, you will still visit the amazing famous sights. Also, spontaneous activities (like festivals or parades) often happen, and because our group sizes are small, we are often able to be more flexible and participate in these activities.
Adventure and self-discovery
We hold adventure and self-discovery in the highest regard and this is reflected in all of our tours. For some, travelling to the countries we visit and being welcomed by such a vast and diverse culture can be a surprise. As such, we encourage our travellers to immerse themselves in the activities of the itinerary and share in the new and joyful experiences of the group.
Well-being
Personal well-being – on all levels – is very important to us.As such, we have developed a number of tours with an emphasis on health and well-being to invigorate the body, mind and spirit.These tours offer the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, health and nutrition education, yoga and ashrams, spiritual development, fitness and personal empowerment.
The ‘Land of the Gods’ provides the perfect backdrop for these classes and modalities to take place-do not be surprised if a little magic happens! Other tours we have that come under the ‘well-being banner’ are volunteering with under-priviledged children.Volunteering is an awesome way to make a differnce in the world, both for the giver and the receiver. It is extremely good ‘medicine’ for the heart.
Innovation
It is our mission to constantly innovate and provide a service that
remains relevant, fresh and awe-inspiring. To achieve this, we work with some of the finest professionals including Nutritionists, Yoga Instructors, Spiritual Healers and well-regarded members of the tourism industry. By joining forces with these experts we are able to bring a variety of options to our tours, which are constantly being updated to ensure that they remain the best..
Service excellence
You are the most important aspect of our business. Touch of Spirit Tours has thrived because of the good reputation it has gained from our valued travellers. Our goal is to continually exceed the expectations of our clients and develop relationships that will last long into the future.
Responsibility
We take our responsibility to you as well as the people and places we visit seriously. Our tour leaders are not only conscientious by nature, but are specially-trained to help ensure your welfare and that of all who come into contact with our tours. Touch of Spirit Tours also acknowledges the effect that tourism has on the environment of the countries we visit and makes every attempt to minimise our impact. We also support various charities.
