India

Scott Dunn has operated in India for many years. We have travelled to the farthest depths of the country so that we can advise and help you tailor your own custom made itinerary. We hire the finest ground handlers in India to look after you and give you peace of mind when you are travelling through a country not easy to traverse. We provide the most modern AC vehicles and an English-speaking driver coupled with a large support network in almost every major town and city. We are creative, and favour the more boutique or heritage hotels rather than the larger meaningless chains. We are quite simply passionate about India and want you to feel the same way.
