About Us

A word from our Director – Kamaya Sangodkar

I, founded The Pravasi in 2014 after taking a sabbatical from my retail cosmetic business, jumped in a car with two of my friends, and set out to discover the west coast of Maharashtra without using Google Maps. We'll probably never forego maps again.

I want to make it easier for you to discover beautiful and local places when you're travelling. My travel blog and city guides connect you with spots that are part of a community, so you can make new friends and try new things. I visit every single place myself and I only recommend things I enjoy doing. Localism, not tourism – it's kind of my thing. Basically, I just wanted a directory of awesome and pretty places to visit that was curated by someone I trusted (like a human, not a robot). I couldn't find anything that fit, so I decided to make it myself!

Even more, I wanted to share a way of travelling that didn’t yet exist in India – a tailored approach to planning a holiday for discerning and well-informed travellers. Our guests are looking for a more exclusive way to discover the world, with insider advice to enhance each trip.

So start ticking destinations off your bucket list now and use The Pravasi as your maps to help you navigate through this marvellous world!

Our Values

To provide you with the best service and to cultivate a productive and happy working environment for our team, we operate on three key guiding principles.

We are respectful

Working with people is a huge part of what we do, and we know that doing it well means always treating our colleagues and clients with respect. To us this means making sure we are efficient, quick to respond and happy to help at all times.

We take responsibility

In order to excel, it’s important to be dependable and responsible for our actions. So, the answer is never no, it is always yes, and how can we make it happen.

We care

Most of all, at The Pravasi we pride ourselves on caring. Our great attention to detail and positivity comes from a passion for travel and a genuine enjoyment of delivering incredible travel experiences.

Why Choose Us

From our personal experience, we strongly believe that booking with a reputable tour operator brings a number of important benefits that may not be immediately obvious, so we have created an 8-step guide to help you understand the benefits of booking with the The Pravasi.

1. We listen to your needs.

TripAdvisor and similar sites offer lots of personal insight but their guidance can be highly subjective. With over years of expertise & fine taste, our team know that everyone has different needs and preferences for their perfect holiday.We never sell what we haven't seen and if it isn't right for you, we won't recommend it!

2. We're here to help when things go wrong

We believe the real value of a travel planner is evident when there's a crisis; whether that be volcanic ash or even just a flight schedule change. Our 24-hour emergency team provide round the clock assistance and a genuine fast track to getting problems solved, which means that you're not just at the mercy of the 'customer service' desk at the airport!

3. We explain when an offer is really an 'offer'.

Each hotel can have dozens of offers – some combinable, some tactical, and some year-round. We know the difference and will always find the best offers for you and these will always be our best price.

4. We offer added value.

Because of our strong relationships with our hotels, we make sure you benefit from the best available rooms on check-in and where available, exclusive added value offers that you may not get by booking directly with the hotel or online booking sites.

5. We offer true flexibility.

We are an independent business, so we can do things that other, larger operators can't, or often won't. So if you need to make changes to your booking, we'll move heaven and earth to help you.

We don't follow trends, we set them!

So we used The Pravasi for my honeymoon recently. I spoke to them about what i wanted, the locations, hotels, my likes and dislikes and they got back to me with suggestions and a curated programme. I was very happy with everything. We went to South Africa with their help. From stay, travel, food to itinerary everything was planned. I had someone to talk to at Pravasi and locally 24x7 if i ever needed something. I had a driver guide full time. Activities, food was already paid for. Their staff were really friendly. Locally i met Yvette wh was also very open and friendly. We made changes to plans sometimes but they were very accomodating about that too and helped us with the same. Overall very happy with Kamaya and her team. Thanks for everything, loved it!

We tried services of THE PRAVASI for the first time this October to plan a 10 day trip to Thailand and we are so thankful to them for planning the most wonderful holiday for us. We had such a beautiful experience in Thailand and it’s all thanks to Camya and THE PRAVASI team! They are really are fab at what they do. Camya gave us some of the best recommendations for places to eat , stay and visit and what we appreciate the most is that she took the time to understad our personal vibe and got that just right. THE PRAVASI is also very budget friendly. All their services including the pick ups from all the locations or even sharing the visa form prior with us so that we don't have to wait in line to get our visa in Thailand was all so meticulously planned. There wasn't a single hiccup anywhere and we had the most pleasant trip. We are so glad that we planned our holiday with The Pravasi and they will be our go to choice for all holidays going forward. Highly reccomend them to anyone who loves to travel and experience different places THE PRAVASI way! More power to you guys!

It is easier to just google stuff and make a boutique experience out of the trips. Seems like travel influencers off late just want to start these shops and bank on free travelling because of what we pay them. Good marks to the idea but during execution it just seems unoriginal. Nothing that you can't find off the internet. Better prepare your own itinerary than waste money here. My wife did not like the arrogance at display either. Disappointed.
