Skip the Tourist Trail. Travel The Exciting Tales Way
Loading…
Most travel companies start with a package. We start with a place.
Before we ask you to travel somewhere, we want to know what it actually feels like to be there. The neighbourhood worth waking up in. The hotel room worth paying more for. The road that deserves to be taken slowly. The restaurant that does not need a tourist sign outside. The experience that looks ordinary on an itinerary but becomes the story you keep telling years later.
That is the Exciting Tales way.
We invest in travel ourselves before we invest your time and money into a destination. We explore, stay, taste, observe, question, discover and come back with a point of view. Then we take everything we have learned and design a journey around you.
So when you search for international tour packages, India tour packages, customised holiday packages or a luxury travel experience, you are not simply choosing a list of hotels, transfers and sightseeing points. You are choosing a trip that has been thought through by people who understand how that destination should be experienced.
Kashmir • Ladakh • Himachal Pradesh • Uttarakhand • Rajasthan • Kerala • Goa • Andaman & Nicobar • Sikkim • Meghalaya • Arunachal Pradesh • Assam • West Bengal • Darjeeling • Varanasi • Agra • Jaipur • Udaipur • Jodhpur • Jaisalmer • Rishikesh • Manali • Spiti Valley • Coorg • Ooty • Munnar • Alleppey • Hampi • Amritsar • Pondicherry
India does not need another checklist of places to visit. It needs to be experienced. A slow morning in the Himalayas can mean more than five attractions in one day. A Rajasthan journey can be about heritage, food, silence and stories, not just forts. Kerala can be more than a houseboat. Kashmir can be more than a photograph. And a trip to the Northeast can be about discovering a rhythm of life rather than simply collecting viewpoints.
Our India holiday packages are designed with this mindset. Whether it is a romantic Kashmir honeymoon, a family holiday in Kerala, a Rajasthan luxury escape, a Ladakh adventure, a Northeast exploration or a carefully paced weekend getaway, we design the experience first and the itinerary second.
Japan • Switzerland • France • Italy • Greece • Turkey • United Kingdom • Europe • Bali • Thailand • Singapore • Vietnam • Dubai • Australia • New Zealand • South Africa • Mauritius • Maldives • Sri Lanka • Malaysia • Bhutan • Nepal • Antarctica
We are interested in more than what appears on a destination's top-ten list. In Japan, it can be the contrast between Tokyo's energy and Kyoto's quiet corners. In Switzerland, it can be choosing the right route rather than simply ticking off another mountain town. In Europe, it can mean building a journey that allows you to actually live a little, instead of changing hotels every night.
That is why our international holiday packages from India are not built around the idea of covering maximum places in minimum time. We create journeys with a rhythm. Time to explore. Time to pause. Time to discover. Time to have the kind of experience that cannot be reduced to a sightseeing list.
Honeymoon packages for couples who want their first journey together to feel personal, not predictable.
Family holiday packages where grandparents, parents and children can enjoy the same journey differently.
Luxury holidays where luxury means thoughtful details, extraordinary stays and experiences worth remembering, not simply an expensive hotel.
Friends group tours designed around shared experiences rather than a rushed list of attractions.
Adventure holidays for travellers who want to get closer to a destination, not just photograph it.
Cruise holidays where the journey itself becomes part of the destination.
Private and customised trips for travellers who would rather have their own pace, their own choices and a journey designed around them.
We also assist with flights, hotels, visa guidance, airport transfers, travel insurance, sightseeing and on-ground travel arrangements, because thoughtful travel design is only useful when the details behind it work just as well.
Exciting Tales began its journey in Kolkata, West Bengal, but geography has never defined where we take our travellers. We work with travellers across India who are looking for thoughtfully designed domestic and international holidays.
If you are searching for a travel agency in Kolkata, tour operator in Kolkata, holiday planner in Kolkata, international tour packages from Kolkata or customised tour packages from Kolkata, our destination-led approach combines local accessibility with first-hand travel experience across India and the world.
Whether you are travelling from Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad or anywhere else in India, you can plan your journey with Exciting Tales. Our address may be in one city. Our journeys are not.
We believe travel should be experienced before it is sold. Our team invests time in discovering destinations, understanding stays, routes, experiences, food, culture and local nuances before using that knowledge to design trips for our travellers. We are not simply matching you with a pre-built package. We are designing how you experience a destination.
We can offer destination-based packages, but our approach goes beyond standard itineraries. Whenever possible, we customise the journey around your travel dates, interests, pace, budget, preferred stays and the kind of memories you want to create.
Because a destination can look completely different on a screen and in real life. First-hand travel helps us understand what is genuinely worth experiencing, which stays make sense, how much time a place deserves, what can be skipped and where the memorable moments are. That insight helps us design better journeys.
Exciting Tales has its roots in Kolkata, West Bengal, and serves travellers across India and international destinations. We help travellers looking for customised holidays, India tour packages, international tour packages, honeymoon trips, family vacations, luxury holidays and group journeys.
Yes. Exciting Tales serves travellers across India and can design holidays to destinations throughout the country. Your location does not limit where you can travel or book your journey with us.
Yes. We create customised international holidays from India across destinations such as Japan, Europe, Switzerland, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bali, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Dubai, Australia, New Zealand, Maldives, Mauritius and South Africa.

Yes. We design personalised holidays across India including Kashmir, Ladakh, Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Andaman, Darjeeling, Varanasi and many other destinations. The focus is on discovering the character of each destination rather than simply completing a sightseeing checklist.
Absolutely. We can build a honeymoon around your preferred mood, whether that means romance, privacy, adventure, luxury, slow travel, beaches, mountains, food or a combination of experiences. The goal is to create a honeymoon that feels like your trip, not a generic couple package.
Yes. Our approach to luxury travel focuses on the quality of the overall experience. This can include exceptional hotels, private experiences, carefully selected restaurants, scenic routes, premium transfers, exclusive activities and enough breathing space to actually enjoy the destination.
Yes. Family travel requires more than choosing family-friendly hotels. We consider travel time, children's interests, senior travellers, comfort, meal preferences, activity levels and downtime while designing the itinerary so different members of the family can enjoy the same journey.
Yes. We design group trips around the interests and energy of the group, whether you want adventure, nightlife, food, road trips, luxury stays, cultural experiences or a relaxed holiday. The itinerary can be structured to leave room for spontaneous experiences as well.

Yes. Depending on your itinerary, we can assist with flights, accommodation, airport transfers, sightseeing, activities, visa support, travel insurance and other essential arrangements, bringing the different parts of your journey together under one thoughtfully designed plan.
Tell us where you want to go, when you want to travel, who you are travelling with, what you enjoy and approximately what you want to spend. We use that information to understand the kind of journey you are looking for and then build an itinerary around your travel story.
We handle the practical side of travel like a travel company, but our thinking starts much earlier. We look at travel as experience design. We research and experience destinations, develop a point of view and then use it to create personalised journeys for our travellers.
You can find a hotel online. You can find a flight in seconds. You can search for things to do in any destination.
What is harder to find is someone who has already been there, paid attention, discovered the difference between what is popular and what is actually worth your time, and then used that knowledge to design a journey around you.
That is what Exciting Tales does.
We travel first. We discover first. We invest first. Then we design your tale.
Antarctica is one of the most extraordinary destinations on Earth, offering a once-in-a-lifetime journey through a vast world of ice, towering glaciers, snow-covered mountains, remote islands and extraordinary wildlife. From dramatic iceberg-filled waters and pristine polar landscapes to encounters with penguins, seals and whales, an Antarctica expedition offers a completely different kind of travel experience.
Our Antarctica Tour Packages are designed for travellers who want to experience the pristine beauty and extraordinary wildlife of the White Continent. Sail through the Antarctic Peninsula, navigate among towering icebergs, visit remote islands, watch penguin colonies and experience spectacular polar landscapes from the deck of an expedition vessel.
Whether you're planning an expedition cruise, luxury polar adventure, wildlife journey, photography trip, honeymoon or once-in-a-lifetime adventure, Exciting Tales can help create a carefully planned Antarctica itinerary based on your travel interests, preferred duration and expedition style.
Antarctica offers an experience unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Its untouched landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and remote location make it one of the most unique expedition destinations for adventurous travellers.
Antarctica's tourist season is concentrated during the Southern Hemisphere summer, when sea ice conditions allow expedition vessels to access the Antarctic Peninsula and surrounding regions. Each part of the season offers different wildlife and landscape experiences.
Antarctica is primarily experienced through expedition travel, but travellers can choose between different vessel styles, expedition durations and levels of comfort. Our travel specialists can help identify an itinerary that matches your interests and preferred travel style.
Different Antarctic expedition routes offer different experiences. The Antarctic Peninsula is the most accessible and popular region for first-time visitors, while South Georgia is particularly famous for its extraordinary wildlife colonies. The Falkland Islands offer a combination of wildlife, landscapes and cultural history before or after an Antarctic expedition.
Most Antarctica holidays are expedition cruises departing from Ushuaia in Argentina, although some longer itineraries follow extended routes that include the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. A typical Antarctic Peninsula expedition often takes around 10 to 12 days, while longer itineraries can last two weeks or more.
Antarctica travel is different from a conventional holiday because the itinerary can be influenced by sea ice, weather and wildlife conditions. Expedition vessels and experienced expedition teams adapt routes and landing locations according to conditions while following strict environmental and wildlife-protection regulations.
Every Antarctica journey with Exciting Tales is planned around your travel preferences and expedition goals. Whether you're looking for a wildlife-focused cruise, luxury polar experience, photography expedition or once-in-a-lifetime adventure, our travel experts can help you select an itinerary that matches your interests.
From expedition cruise planning and accommodation to pre- and post-cruise arrangements, transfers, sightseeing and personalized travel assistance, we help coordinate the important details of your Antarctica journey so you can focus on experiencing the extraordinary beauty of the polar wilderness.
A typical Antarctic Peninsula expedition takes around 10 to 12 days, although longer itineraries can last two weeks or more. The ideal duration depends on whether you want to explore only the Antarctic Peninsula or combine it with destinations such as South Georgia and the Falkland Islands.
The main Antarctica tourist season runs from November to March during the Southern Hemisphere summer. December and January offer long daylight hours and active wildlife, while February and March can be particularly attractive for whale watching.
Antarctica trips are generally more expensive than conventional holidays because they involve specialized expedition vessels, remote logistics and guided experiences. The total cost depends on the expedition length, cabin category, vessel, route, activities and travel arrangements before and after the cruise.
Popular regions and expedition destinations include the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, Paradise Bay, Lemaire Channel, Deception Island and Gerlache Strait. Longer expeditions may also include South Georgia and the Falkland Islands.
Yes, seeing penguins is one of the main highlights of an Antarctica expedition. Travellers may encounter species such as gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguins depending on the route and season.
Yes, whales can be encountered during Antarctic expedition cruises. Humpback whales are among the species commonly seen, particularly later in the expedition season, although wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed.
Antarctica can be an extraordinary honeymoon destination for couples who want a unique adventure rather than a traditional beach holiday. Expedition cruises, dramatic landscapes, wildlife encounters and intimate moments surrounded by ice and mountains create a very different honeymoon experience.
Some expedition operators offer family-friendly Antarctic voyages, but suitability depends on the vessel, itinerary and minimum age requirements. Families should carefully check the expedition operator's policies before booking.
Most travellers reach Antarctica by expedition ship from Ushuaia in southern Argentina, crossing the Drake Passage before reaching the Antarctic Peninsula. Some specialized itineraries may use flights or combine Antarctica with the Falkland Islands and South Georgia.
Ushuaia in Argentina is one of the primary departure points for Antarctic expedition cruises. It is commonly used as the gateway for voyages to the Antarctic Peninsula.
Popular Antarctic experiences include watching penguins and seals, searching for whales, exploring icebergs and glaciers, taking Zodiac excursions, joining guided shore landings and photographing the polar landscape.
Most visitors stay aboard expedition vessels rather than in permanent tourist accommodation on the continent. Some expedition operators may offer limited camping experiences on shore, subject to weather, safety and environmental regulations.
Antarctica is a remote and challenging environment, but expedition cruises are operated with specialized vessels, experienced crews and expedition teams. Weather and sea conditions can change quickly, so travellers must follow the safety instructions provided by the expedition operator.
Travellers should pack warm layered clothing, waterproof outerwear, insulated footwear, gloves, a warm hat and suitable personal gear. Expedition operators normally provide detailed packing guidance, and some may supply specific equipment such as waterproof boots or specialized outer layers.
Many traditional Antarctic Peninsula expeditions departing from Ushuaia include a crossing of the Drake Passage. Some alternative itineraries use flights to reduce or avoid the sea crossing, depending on the expedition operator and route.
A classic Antarctic Peninsula expedition is generally a good starting point for first-time visitors. It typically includes the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands and offers opportunities to see penguins, seals, whales, glaciers and icebergs.
Yes, Antarctica is generally more expensive than most conventional international destinations because of its remote location, specialized expedition ships, limited travel season and complex logistics. The experience is designed as an expedition rather than a standard sightseeing holiday.
Yes, Antarctica travel can be customized by selecting different expedition lengths, vessel categories, cabin types, routes and pre- or post-cruise arrangements. Exciting Tales can help plan the wider journey around the selected expedition.
Antarctica itself does not operate like a conventional country with a tourist visa system. However, travellers may need visas or entry permissions for countries used as gateways, such as Argentina, Chile or other destinations included in the itinerary. Requirements depend on nationality, route and current regulations.
You can contact Exciting Tales with your preferred travel dates, number of travellers, expedition duration, cabin preference, destinations and approximate budget. Our travel specialists can help identify suitable Antarctica expedition options and plan the associated travel arrangements.
