From the Founder

Born from a love for history, architecture and lived experience.

Paranjape Tours & Travels began with a simple belief: forts, temples and historic cities deserve to be understood, not merely visited.

What started as a personal passion for Indian history, temple architecture and historical research gradually evolved into a venture dedicated to meaningful heritage travel — built on careful storytelling, field study and genuine curiosity about India’s past.

Our work draws from years of reading, research and on-ground exploration. Through architecture, inscriptions, landscapes and forgotten stories, we try to understand how politics, devotion, trade and everyday life shaped one another across centuries.

That is why our journeys go beyond conventional sightseeing. Whether it is a fort trail in Maharashtra, a temple study tour, or a heritage walk through an old city, we focus on interpretation as much as experience — helping travellers notice not only what they see, but why it matters.

Today, we design thoughtful small-group journeys for families, students, researchers and curious travellers who seek depth, accuracy and a deeper connection with India’s cultural and historical heritage.

Our Vision

To reconnect people with India’s civilisational heritage by transforming travel into a journey of understanding, curiosity and discovery.

Our Mission

To create immersive and research-driven heritage experiences that help travellers understand India’s historical landscapes, architectural traditions and cultural legacy with depth, accuracy and wonder.

Our Tour Philosophy

We believe history is best understood not through textbooks alone, but through landscapes, architecture, inscriptions, stories and lived experiences.
