About Bhageerathi Travels

Bangalore’s oldest package tour operator, trusted since 1964. Travel with tradition, travel with care.

From one office in 1964 to a lakh happy travellers

Bhageerathi Travels began in the Bangalore of the 1960s, when end to end tour packages were still a new idea in South India.

Our founder, the late B.A. Ramachandra, did not plan tours from a desk. He travelled the routes himself, found out where pilgrims could stay and eat well, and built itineraries for the Kashi Yatra, the Badri Yatra, Rameswaram and Nepal. Families trusted him because every detail had been tried first.

More than six decades later, that personal attention is still at the heart of Bhageerathi. Every journey is planned in detail, run by our own tour managers and cooks, and supported by partners who have been with us for over fifty years.
