“ A huge thank you to Shanti Travel for… ”
A huge thank you to Shanti Travel for putting together an absolutely outstanding Sri Lanka experience — the planning was flawless and the attention to detail was remarkable. We could not have asked for better support from start to finish. Special kudos to Naduni, who was exceptional in her accompaniment and truly went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable.

“ A wonderful solo travel experience ”
I can’t speak highly enough of Shanti Travel and the Travel Local process in general, and my main travel agent and cheerleader Shreekesh Singh, in particular. Shreekesh really listened to what I wanted and what worried me about spending nearly 2 weeks in Kerala as a solo female traveller, after leaving friends in an earlier trip through Rajasthan. He produced a great itinerary that included hiking and cycling, nature reserves, spa time and plenty of time on the water. The overnight houseboat where I was treated like a queen by the crew was a particular highlight but really hard to choose just one experience as I had so many! A big shout out my amazing driver Shelton, and to Mary, my only female local guide across many guides during 4 weeks in India and definitely the best of all.

“ Exceptional Bali Planning from Theresa ”
Theresa at Shanti Travel was absolutely wonderful to work with and helped create the perfect Bali trip for us. She was attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. The itinerary felt completely personalized and exactly what we were hoping for, with the right balance of experiences, culture, relaxation, and smooth logistics. Everything worked beautifully, and Theresa was better than we could have hoped for. We would happily give her and Shanti Travel five stars and would recommend her without hesitation.
