Mission Statement:

We believe there is wisdom in turning as far as possible from the familiar to the unfamiliar. We seek to maximise customer satisfaction by offering products and personalised services of the highest order and constantly endeavor to bring joy to your travel.

Why choose L’orient Travels?

L’orient Travels enjoys an excellent reputation in the Indian travel industry and has several years of experience in promoting Indian Holidays. Needless to say, we offer competitive rates for all of our packages.

The agency offers personalized services and ensures its clients return satisfied. We are not in the mass tourism business.

Our documented information is first hand information. In the early nineties the agency diversified into publishing and brought out a travel magazine, Travel-n-tell, focusing entirely on Indian holiday destinations. Its promoter, Hector D’souza has documented his travel across the Indian subcontinent and has over a hundred travel essays on Indian destinations to his credit. His views on the travel industry and essays have been published in several national and a couple of international publications.

We understand the needs of international travelers mainly because of the experience of our staff and the promoter, who have lived and worked in North America and Europe.

A percentage of what you pay goes to different charities, over the past couple of years we have supported the following institutions: Cheshire Home, REAP, Ashankur mid-day meal, Tata Memorial Hospital, OLEP Seva Kendra and Our Lady’s Home. We hope to reach out to tribals living on the fringes of forest and the nomad communities in the years to come. Education and Health are our main areas of concern.

Finally L’orient Travels was started mainly because of the promoter’s passion for India and travel within India.
