The roots of INT can be traced back couple of years with an idea to evolve as
a meaningful specific rather than a wandering generality in the tourism arena.
It was formed keeping in view the need to provide comprehensive tour arrangements
for the tourists visiting the Indian sub-continent. We at INT believe that"
Success in life is not measured by the size of the feet but the directions they
take". Professionals have imbibed this approach towards their working style
in the organization. Striking the right kind of equilibrium between our client's
aspirations and the demands of the industry has been the forte of INT professionals.
Our team leaders are from fields as varied as photography to conservation and
are qualified experts in their own field be it hiking, birding, angling, photography,
botany, zoology, tourism, architecture, herpetology and bio-diversity conservation.
Delivering precise information backed by equally precise execution of the tours
consistently for our clients from all over the world is evident from the fact
that our clients and our associates have repeatedly placed their trust &
faith with us time and again.
We are out and out a people driven organization where every individual's professional
expertise holds ultimate importance.

and responsiveness of its business associates and client's requirements.
