Local knowledge first
Our guides are written by people who live and travel in these cities, not assembled from listings data.
Travel planning, without the guesswork.
We help travellers find the right destination and plan the trip around it — with honest guides, local knowledge and support from the first search to the journey home.

Our Story
Choosing where to go is the hardest part of any trip. We make that decision simple, then take care of everything that follows.
Dakar Travels was founded in 2019 to make travel across India easier to plan and better to experience. Instead of endless lists and filters, we start with what kind of trip you want — quiet, coastal, culinary, historic — and match you with the cities that deliver it.
Every destination guide is researched and written by our own team, and every itinerary is built with local partners we know personally. Today we serve travellers in eight cities, with new destinations added as our on-the-ground network grows.
02
Honest recommendations
No paid placements and no sponsored rankings. Destinations appear because they fit what you asked for.
03
Support at every stage
From the first search to the return flight, a real person is available whenever plans need to change.
