Most solo travel options in India fall into one of two extremes — either a completely independent trip with no built-in social element, or a large, impersonal group tour where genuine connection rarely happens. FOUNDING 10 was created to sit deliberately in between, offering the structure and safety of a guided tour with the intimacy of a small group tour package.

A regular India tour package often means joining twenty or thirty strangers on a bus, moving from one sightseeing stop to the next with little time to actually get to know anyone. FOUNDING 10 works differently by design — a deliberately small group size means every traveler is genuinely part of the experience, not just another seat on a coach. Conversations happen naturally, not by accident, simply because the group stays small enough for everyone to matter.

Traveling with Tour Advisor India’s FOUNDING 10 also means the logistics are fully handled — accommodation, transport, guided sightseeing, and the small details that usually make solo trip planning stressful. What’s left for the traveler is simply showing up and being part of the group, whether that means introducing yourself over a welcome dinner or waking up early for a sunrise at the Taj Mahal with nine new companions.

This approach also solves a problem most solo travelers face before they even book a trip: the fear of traveling India completely alone. FOUNDING 10 removes that hesitation without asking travelers to give up the independence and adventure that drew them to solo travel in the first place. You’re never traveling alone, but you’re also never stuck following someone else’s rigid plan with no say in the experience.

Beyond the itinerary and the destinations, what genuinely sets FOUNDING 10 apart is what happens between the sightseeing stops — the shared meals, the unplanned conversations, the moments that turn a group of strangers into people who stay in touch long after the trip ends. That’s the part of the experience most standard India tour packages simply aren’t built to deliver.

Every FOUNDING 10 journey is built around a different side of India, so whichever theme speaks to you — history, mountains, nature, or a mix of everything — there’s an edition designed around it. The Golden Triangle journey covers Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur’s timeless heritage, forts, and monuments. The Leh Ladakh journey takes the group through high mountain passes, monasteries, and a night camping by Pangong Lake. The Rajasthan, Kerala & Goa journey moves from desert forts to backwaters to beaches, covering three completely different sides of the country in one trip.

For travelers drawn to the outdoors, the Himalayan Trekking journey combines mountain trails, village stays, and sunrise summit views, while the Rishikesh Yoga & Wellness journey offers a slower, more reflective experience built around daily yoga, Ganga Aarti, and Ayurvedic wellness. The Varanasi Spiritual journey rounds things out with sacred boat rides, ancient temples, and the evening Ganga Aarti in one of India’s oldest living cities.

And if none of these fit exactly what you’re looking for, that’s completely fine too — every FOUNDING 10 journey is fully flexible and customizable. If you’d like to shape your own itinerary, coordinate with the rest of the group, and build the trip together through discussion, that’s entirely possible. Just reach out and let us know what you have in mind.

No. Most FOUNDING 10 travelers arrive as complete strangers to each other. Before the trip begins, we introduce everyone to each other online, so the group already has a sense of who they’ll be traveling with. Wherever possible, we also try to arrange the same flights for group members, so many travelers actually meet for the first time before even landing in India.

Yes. If none of the existing journeys fit exactly what you’re looking for, every FOUNDING 10 trip is fully flexible and customizable. You can shape your own itinerary, coordinate with the rest of the group, and build the trip together through discussion — just reach out and let us know what you have in mind.

Not necessarily. Once enough travelers express interest and confirm for a specific journey, the group is finalized and the trip moves forward — you don’t need to wait for an exact headcount before dates and plans are locked in.

Each journey combines iconic Indian destinations with immersive experiences — local food, cultural interactions, road journeys, trekking, camping, and beach time — depending on the specific route and edition, along with accommodation, private transport, and guided sightseeing throughout.
