Meet the Founder

Namaste, I’m Manoj.

Some journeys are carefully planned; others unfold by chance. At 17, I took my first job in the travel industry, not realizing it would shape my life’s calling. Over the years, I’ve explored every hidden corner of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka, curating extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experiences for travellers from around the world.

Before founding Souvenir, I spent more than a decade at one of India’s most esteemed luxury tour operators, specializing in high-end travel across the Indian subcontinent. But during the pandemic, as the world slowed down, my wife, Meenakshi, and I found clarity in the pause. What started as uncertainty transformed into a vision - Souvenir.

More than a travel company, Souvenir is our way of sharing the India we love, crafting deeply personal, seamless journeys that go beyond the ordinary. What began as a twist of fate is now our life’s work: transforming every journey into a story worth telling.

Meenakshi and I work hand in hand to ensure that every trip is infused with our passion, expertise, and commitment to excellence. Our guests come from every corner of the world, the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and return with stories that last a lifetime.

We look forward to curating a journey for you, one that is as unique and unforgettable as India itself. Let Souvenir design your perfect Indian experience: immersive, seamless, and unforgettable.
