trunk is for travellers,
not tourists

Hi, I’m Ali.

I’ve been travelling to India since I was thirteen years old, assisting my mother who ran tours there for nearly twenty years.

Following a career as a touring musician, I took over from Mum and launched Trunk in 2017. Today I work closely with fabulous hotels and restaurants, talented artisans and craftspeople, expert local guides and trusted drivers to bring my tours to life and provide an authentic experience of this incredible country.

India has a way of lifting you higher than you ever thought possible, whilst at the same time putting everything into perspective. It is overwhelming and beautiful beyond description. Full of paradoxes, music, colour, religions, food and above all, wonderful people – it’s a place that has to be experienced to be grasped. No description does it justice which is why I want to share it with you.

Join me for an adventure that will stay with you forever.
