1964Founded in Bangalore by B.A. Ramachandra

Bangalore's oldest package tour operator, still family run

In the 1960s, when all inclusive tour packages were still new in South India, our founder, the late B.A. Ramachandra, travelled the routes himself and planned itineraries for the Kashi Yatra, Badri Yatra, Rameswaram and Nepal. That habit of checking every detail first still guides each Bhageerathi departure.

Today his son, Guru Murthy B.R., runs the company from our Basavanagudi office with a team from Karnataka. Some of our hotel, transport and kitchen partners have worked with us for more than fifty years.
