About Cultural & Food Tours
How I Roll
I don't do basic sightseeing - I want you to feel a place, not just see it. My tours are about stories, food, and history you actually remember. If you've had enough of cookie-cutter holidays, you'll vibe with what I offer.
History That Hits Different
We walk where stuff actually happened. In Pondicherry, you'll see the French Quarter up close and hear wild stories (like why they party for two Independence Days). Hampi is straight-up epic, with ruins and river walks that feel ancient. Sometimes, you even sleep in heritage homes - like a 360-year-old Chikmagalur house with Tipu Sultan links, or a retro lodge in Coorg. It's history, not just a photo op.
Food: Not the Tourist Stuff
I chase the asli taste (the real deal), so you eat what locals eat. In Coorg, we go for Kodava curries and Kadambuttu. Chikmagalur's food is homely, best with fresh plantation coffee. Coastal Karnataka? You get everything from ghee roasts to Konkani biryani. Pondicherry is all filter coffee, kulfi, and croissants - proper food trails, not random restaurants.
Coffee & Spice, Up Close
Want to know where your morning brew comes from? I take you through coffee and spice plantations in Coorg and Chikmagalur, with live tasting and walks among the beans and pepper vines. It's not just a tour, it's a vibe.
Straight Up, No Filter
Every trip is packed with hidden places and local stories. I work with people who actually know the area, so you get the real thing. Memories? Pakka! (Guaranteed!)

My Story
We get it – office blues, mind wandering, craving some real adventure. That’s how Avathi came about. We’re suckers for those hidden gems, especially around Karnataka, you know? Not the usual ‘Google top 10’ stuff. Sometimes it’s wild - like when a guest said she was ‘buri tarah se fat rahi thi’ (scared out of her wits) on her first scuba dive, but later called it the best thing ever. Oh, and pets? Always part of the plan. Your dog’s not just allowed, they’re the VIP.
My Work
Unique stays & adventure escapes - We find offbeat Karnataka getaways, from jungle lodges to glamping, plus adventure camping and wildlife safaris.
Custom tours & real experiences - We plan custom experiential tours, like guided walks and ocean swims, far from the usual touristy stuff.
Pet-friendly travel - Your pets are VIPs. We know all the pet-friendly jungle lodges and resorts where they’re more than welcome.
