What makes us different is not just our expertise – it is our genuine care. We treat every booking not as a transaction, but as an opportunity to create someone's most cherished memory.

✦ The Visionary

Meet Our Founder

The story of Shri Chowdeshwari Tours & Travels begins with one man's lifelong love affair with travel

"Travel is not just about seeing new places – it is about discovering a new version of yourself. I have made it my life's work to give that gift to every family."

– Sunil Bhatt, Founder & CEO

Sunil Bhatt

Founder & CEO, Shri Chowdeshwari Tours & Travels

Born and raised in Udupi, Sunil Bhatt caught the travel bug at the age of 12 when his father took the family on a pilgrimage to Tirupati. That one trip sparked a lifelong passion for exploring India's infinite cultural and natural diversity.

After completing his MBA in Tourism Management from Mangalore University, he worked with leading travel operators in Bangalore for several years, mastering the nuances of custom itinerary design. In 2010, with a clear vision and deep local expertise, he returned home to found Shri Chowdeshwari Tours & Travels.

Today, Sunil leads a dedicated team of travel experts and has personally designed over 300 custom itineraries. Under his guidance, the agency has grown into a trusted regional leader, specializing in personalized tour experiences across Karnataka and nationwide.

His philosophy is simple: "A great journey is one where the traveler returns richer in memories and completely refreshed in spirit."

✦ The Shri Chowdeshwari Tours & Travels Difference

Why We Stand Apart

It's not just what we do – it's how we do it. Here's what makes Shri Chowdeshwari Tours & Travels truly special

🧭

Deep Local Knowledge

Our team includes travel experts who have lived in the destinations they recommend. We know the hidden gems, the best local dhabas, the right time to visit and the shortcuts that guidebooks never mention. This insider knowledge transforms a good trip into a great one.

💬

We Listen First, Plan Later

Unlike agencies that push fixed packages, we start by understanding YOU – your interests, budget, travel style and comfort level. Only then do we craft an itinerary. Every trip we plan is as unique as the person taking it.

🔄

Flexible & Hassle-Free Changes

Plans change – we understand that. Our flexible booking policy allows modifications without the stress and heavy cancellation fees. We work with you, not against you, because your peace of mind is part of the package.

❤️

We Go the Extra Mile

Surprise anniversary cake in your room, a garland welcome at the airport, a handwritten itinerary booklet, a local SIM card – these are the little touches that turn customers into lifelong family. Details matter to us as much as they matter to you.

🛡️

End-to-End Safety Net

Every partner hotel and service provider goes through our rigorous vetting process. We carry comprehensive travel insurance options, have emergency contacts at every destination, and our team is available 24/7 during your journey. You are never alone.

🌱

Responsible Tourism

We believe travel should be good for the planet and the local communities. We partner with eco-certified accommodations, support local guides, promote sustainable practices and contribute 1% of every booking to rural tourism development. Travel wisely, travel well.
