Not Booked Curated

Travel has always been more than a passion. It has been a way of life.

Index Travels was founded by Vijay Bahadur, whose love for exploration has taken him to more than 80 countries across six continents. What began as a personal curiosity to experience different cultures, landscapes, and ways of life gradually evolved into something much more meaningful — helping others discover the world through thoughtfully curated journeys.

With a professional background as a Chartered Accountant and decades of experience advising clients and building trusted relationships, Vijay brought the same attention to detail, planning, and personal service into travel. Friends and family often sought his advice on where to stay, what to experience, and how to make the most of their journeys. Over time, that passion naturally evolved into Index Travels.

From the very beginning, the philosophy was simple: no two travellers are alike, and no two journeys should be either.

Today, Index Travels specialises in creating personalised luxury travel experiences designed around the individual. Whether it is a private safari in Kenya, a hidden ryokan in Japan, an alpine escape in Switzerland, or a luxury retreat in Portugal, every itinerary is carefully curated to reflect each traveller's interests, pace, and aspirations.

Our approach is deliberately personal. Every journey begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand what inspires you, what excites you, and what kind of memories you hope to create. From there, we design experiences that go beyond the expected — combining exceptional stays, privileged access, hidden gems, and meaningful moments that transform a trip into something truly memorable.

While our brand continues to evolve, our values remain unchanged: personalised service, thoughtful planning, and a genuine passion for creating extraordinary travel experiences.

Because luxury travel is not about where everyone goes.

It is about creating the journey that is right for you.
