Girl Guides India * The Sodha Journeys Philosophy * Awards & Recognition ## About Sodha Journeys ## A Message from the President In my youth, I was fortunate to travel the world. My father was an airline pilot and I often heard "the world is just a plane ride away."  I always had an affinity for India and nurtured this curiosity by studying Indian history and religion at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Some of my favorite courses were Hinduism, History of Modern India, Hindu Tantra, and Essentials of Buddhism.My research continued post-grad as I traveled across the country and contributed my work to several international publications. My passion to create experiences fueled by a deeper understanding of local communities planted the seeds for Sodha Journeys.In the past 15+ years, I have interviewed diplomats and dignitaries, facilitated panels on sustainable initiatives in South Asia, and was selected as the Delhi Destination Expert for AFAR Media. All of these experiences cultivated a more thoughtful understanding of not only the respective destinations but also traveling with purpose.Sodha Journeys was born from my desire to share the beauty of India with the world. Since then, our services have extended to other destinations but our passion remains the same.  I continue to be amazed by South Asia’s ability to transform at such a rapid pace and yet fluently maintain its cultural, historical, and spiritual treasures.To our past clients, we thank you. To our future travelers, we welcome you.Enjoy the Journey! Allison Sodha ##### Allison Sodha Go!

Download the Ebook ## The Sodha Journeys Philosophy Sodha Journeys is not about volume. Instead, we are about curating experiences with cultural authenticity. Our Destination Specialists have spent thousands of hours inspecting hotels, testing vehicles, meeting guides and drivers, and personally experiencing the road less traveled.As consultants, we only reserve bespoke, personalized itineraries. Unlike large companies that employ travel agents who work on commission for booking specific hotels or packages, Sodha Journeys is not about mass tourism. We can therefore offer unbiased suggestions for accommodations and experiences.At Sodha Journeys, we prefer a boutique approach to understanding our clients. The planning process is more than just linking logistics. It’s a time to create, converse, and collaborate. We take a genuine interest in each and every client, learning their story and what fuels their wanderlust.With local offices in the destinations we serve, our clients have continued assistance, support, and advocacy during their journey. It is also why we consider our guides and representatives as hosts who invite you to share in the customs of the community. Additionally, Sodha Journeys' guides and historians are thoughtfully selected for each program and cater to your individual interests. ## Awards & Recognition Sodha Journeys is proud to be rated 5-stars by independent traveler reviews.
