Just like travel advice from a friend ...

Strictly respecting the 1994 Belgian contract law governing travel agencies, Tej Mahal is not allowed to book the actual trip but acts as an adviser, facilitator and motivator. We are something like a friend who knows a country well and can suggest great places and regions to visit with all the enthusiasm of a travel companion.

Tej Mahal can negotiate excellent flight and accomodation deals with Air India, via Welcome Travels in Brussels. In India the trips are organised by Mansha India Tours Ltd.

Once you have decided on a trip to India, we can meet and discuss the options. On the basis of the number of days and class of hotel you would like to stay in - from small hotels to deluxe 5-star hotels - we can put together an (optional) itinerary of trips and regions to visit. Then we send the request to Mansha India Tours Ltd.

Tej Mahal does not take commissions on this service. The only fee is an amount of € 50 invoiced to the prospective traveller (€ 25 to become receive a Tej Mahal membership card and € 25 for administration and costs).

The travel advice given works under common themes :

-	visits are not oriented towards 'mass tourism'
-	visitors are mainly lodged in grand/listed houses outside cities
-	visitors discover India 'from the inside'
-	visitors are guided and encourages from the very first contact with Tej Mahal (i.e. information sessions, cooking classes, tailored brochures/itineraries, etc.)
-	visitors are comforted by the feeling that they are not left alone during their stay in India
-	visitors automatically become members of Tej Mahal and can benefit from cultural events
-	visitors have the opportunity to sponsor the Saath School in Jaisalmer

We can also help you put together your India trip on particular topics :

-	Indian heritage – oriented towards historical monuments and the splendours of India
-	Indian religion – including a stay in an ashram and a visit to Varanasi and the river Ganges
