www.indiaauthentictours.com is a small family run business with a big heart. At India Authentic Tours our customers welfare is paramount, therefore our priority is the safety and wellbeing of all our customers touring India with us. 
We at India Authentic Tours also have very high ethical beliefs when it comes to animal welfare, therefore we will never offer our customers and animal related activities, e.g. Elephant rides, Camel rides, visits to Zoo's, visit to logging farms or any other activities where the animals welfare is not paramount.

When we started www.indiaauthentictours.com we were determined to make a difference and be a company that gives back as much as possible, therefore we started the below project. After being amazed by the support from our customers, we opened the Facebook pages and invited other to join in.

These 7 charities have proven to be ethical and very transparent when it comes to their needs and their spending. This is very important to us, as we have a large following of people who have become involved and therefore a mutual trust is paramount.
When collecting, we always ask for a set project and a written quote of the actual cost. We then post regular updates of the collection situation.

We started this with $1000 of our own money and have gathered an amazing team of local crafts people and talented artists on our journey.

To help support this project we sell 100% organic, handmade scarves, t-shirts, and silver jewelry. For a regular up-date on what's available and the prices please check us out on www.facebook.com/ahandtogive. We are not a charity but a community and vehicle.

100% of all sales go straight into fund and you get to look great, do good and feel fantastic.

Together we can make a difference
