For more than 25 years, India has been a significant part of my life. What began while helping establish Tourism New Zealand's representative office in Mumbai grew into a lifelong passion for the country and its people.

Today, I help travellers from all over the world experience India with confidence through carefully crafted journeys, long-standing personal contacts, and decades of first-hand experience.

I'd love to help you discover the India that has captured my
heart for so many years.

WHAT TRAVELLERS SAY

"Don’t hesitate to book with Sarah, you won’t regret it. Sarah delivers exceptionally well organised trips, making problems disappear before they even happen. After two trips, and one more to come, I can’t recommend All India Permit Tours more fully"

​

Bev, South India Adventure (Feb 2025) and Textile & Design (Jan 2026)

"I have visited India a number of times and couldn't resist joining All India Permit Tours with Sarah. Her attention to detail and the seemingly effortless way she made things happen was extraordinary. It felt like a careful curated journey every step of the way. I don't really do tours, but this small group tour is the perfect way to see India and I could not recommend it more highly!"

​

Leigh, April 2024

"What a blast. The Ultimate North India Tour far exceeded our expectations. Sarah’s knowledge and enthusiasm was exceptional. And the local guides that she engaged just added another level of interest and knowledge that would be hard to beat. The accommodation was amazing. And the food - my mouth still waters when I think of the variety - simply wonderful. I can’t say enough about this experience other than to say it won’t disappoint.”

​

​Martin & Jane, Ultimate North India, March 2026

"For someone who swore they would never want to visit India, I was totally blown away by our trip! Bob and I absolutely loved every minute! Sarah made it so memorable and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to join her tours. With her local knowledge of India and wonderful guides, we really got to see and learn so much about this amazing country and its people"

​

Jenny & Bob, April 2024

​

"Our tour with Sarah exceeded our expectations. Sarah's knowledge and passion for India are infectious and every day was an adventure that offered a deep and authentic connection to the culture. We loved the food, the boutique accommodation and all the activities offered. Thank you Sarah for the trip beyond all trips!"

India is intoxicating. A country of contrast with vibrant cities and quiet villages, ancient traditions and modern life, colour, movement and stillness. It is a remarkable destination, but one that can feel overwhelming without the right guidance.
