An Exclusive Destination Management Company

Who We Are

Amber Tours is a one-of-a-kind destination management company based in New Delhi, India. We create the most unique and personalized experiences of the Indian sub-content with a rich heritage of hospitality spanning two generations. The brainchild of Avi Kohli and Sawai Bhawani Singh, the erstwhile Maharaja of Jaipur, Amber Tours was founded in 1972 to cater to the needs of the high-end visitor to India. Avi was a path-breaking adventurer with a visionary understanding not only of what to see in India, but how to see it in the most spectacular way. Amber’s focus has never wavered from this mission, and today, Avi’s daughter Shanti and son Naveen ensure that the highest levels of service and innovation are maintained for every visitor with a zeal that could only come from someone “born to it”! As a result of our heritage, history and team, we create bespoke, detailed and well thought-out itineraries to create the trip of a lifetime.

What We Do

As a family-owned and managed luxury tour and destination management company, Amber Tour's approach is personalized and our effort is to create the most satisfying itineraries, which link traveler interests with the best destinations and the finest hospitality the region has to offer. Our focus is bespoke trips at various levels. We operate through an extensive professional network with the best hotel chains and groups, commercial airlines, private charter operators, local service providers, tour guides, naturalists and others. We also have close personal relationships with important government officials, business leaders, politicians, celebrities, royalty, artists and others, through which are able to provide you access to the most exclusive destinations, program and services.

The Why

Born into the tradition of hospitality, we grew up meeting numerous guests at our home for meals. Being a close family, we inherited a tradition of hospitality that extends to every guest that we host. As the second generation in this field, we marry professionalism and detail with the warmth of India to ensure every guest has an exceptional experience. Our personal blend of bespoke travel with a mix of detailed itineraries and impeccable experiences makes for a truly divine sojourn through India. We do this because we love our work and it is our passion to show you our land the way we want you to see it!!
