“It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.” — Anthony Bourdain
Our story
My name is Sukeerti, your curator and experience designer. Soulful Safaris is born out of my personal transformation through travel. Travel does not only help us to explore the outer world but also nurtures our inner being.
I’ve worked for more than 15 years in the travel industry in different roles and capacities. I‘ve been an explorer, product developer, and travel designer. I have been fortunate to work with grass-root organizations and clusters, co-creating tourism products and linking the products to sustainable travel itineraries.
I’m also a CSR and Sustainability Consultant, helping travel companies to incorporate community-led experiences and sustainability in their operations.
Together with my team, I’m so excited to deliver meaningful journeys in India for our partners.
