Robin Ross:

Robin, from New Zealand has been an India tour operator in the Himalaya since 1991. She is passionate about personalised tours and travel in India, the Himalaya Mountain People and Hindu and Buddhist cultures.  India has captured her imagination and spirit, yet still left her an immensely practical person. Robin leads all the special guided tours in India and leads occasional special trips to other parts of the world.

Prior to building her Himalaya Manali home, Robin spent two years living in a tiny Manali village with the Thakur family - Himalaya Mountain People. She built her home  there, in the most beautiful spot in the Kullu Manali Valley -set high with 5000 metre peaks surrounding.

Her India tours reflect her wish to share her Indian lifestyle and are a result of careful research and planning.  She has had years of tour planning experience and puts your needs first

On occasions Robin leads a tour to another corner of the world. Robin also runs a golfing tour planning company in New Zealand and is keen for golfers to also experience golf in India.
