About Us

Our History

Mystic India is the brainchild of our Managing Director Mrs. Sharon 'Shanti' Evans. After 30 years working in the travel industry and 8 years focusing on India, Sharon knew that there was an unsatisfied demand for a European perspective on India. She set about creating a company that embraces everything that India is and making this incredible experience accessible to Western travellers. While other companies sell identical, mass-produced package holidays, Sharon was committed to building a company that would introduce its clients to the true experience of India, not just the cherry-picked highlights.

Welcome to result of her years of experience, dedication and love for this country: Mystic India. A glance through the following pages will reveal that we have left no corner of India left unexplored. As a result of our extensive research and firsthand experience, we are able to offer a range of incomparable journeys which span the length and breadth of this huge country. Although many companies claim to be specialists, we believe that this website sets us apart. We are unique in our ability to present new and exciting places for you to explore even for the most jaded Indophile. Your choices aren’t simply between Rajasthan and Kerala, there are other unique locations other major cities and tiny villages, gourmet restaurants and family cafes, the must-see tourist attractions and off the beaten path spiritual and cultural experiences. You can design your own unique trip using our Trip Planner  focusing on your specific interests or allow us do it for you.

Your Indian Experience

Our philosophy is to provide you with what you require, however complicated or obscure. We travel to India regularly and will be able to advise you in planning the 'ultimate' holiday. We focus on both the bespoke nature of your trip and also on ensuring that your journey is made as easy, comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We will plan unique and creative itineraries for you or you may follow one of the featured itineraries. Our up to date knowledge ensures we always have something new to offer. We have cultivated a fantastic team on the ground in India who will see to it that you are provided with exactly what you are sold. It is no good being promised the world in London, only to find it is not delivered in India!

The emergence of some exceptional new hotels around the country will more than satisfy even the most exacting traveller. Although these properties are very much a draw in their own right, when combined with some of the country's finest forts, palaces, castles and ancestral homes, the result is a perfect holiday for anyone seeking  a combination of adventure, culture, luxury and style. As you explore this website you will find a wide range of hotels across the country, all with their own unique atmosphere and character. We always feature the best establishments available and endeavour to find hotels that combine high quality with authentic soul.

India has plenty to occupy the returning or inquisitive traveller, from its tropical jungles and remote deserts to lost civilisations. The diversity of the region and the people draws many clients back year after year with a thirst to discover just that little bit more about this colourful and mysterious continent. You can spend your visit only in urban centres or enjoying nature. While other destinations are limited by weather, with its varied topography and different climatic zones, India is very much a destination for all seasons.

The warmth and hospitality of the people, and the diversity of culture makes India one of the world's last real oases. It is still unspoilt by the effects of modern tourism and can now be discovered with an ease and in a style that you may never have thought possible. We can help you to see the authentic India.  We hope that these pages will arouse your interest and we look forward to hearing from you.

Testimonial - Richard & Vas, Benfleet, Essex, UK
When I initially spoke with Sharon at Mystic India about my plans I felt she had a deep connection with India, an understanding not only culturally, but a profound insight into its spirituality. I (Vas) am no stranger to Indian culture as this is part of my heritage but I was still unprepared for the wonderful experiences I enjoyed on this particular trip. Thanks to her, we had a trip of a lifetime!
