Let’s Explore India Together on an Amazing Vegan India Adventure!

Vegan India Travel

I’m leading a vegan India adventure tour and you’re invited to travel with me!

Guess what? I have some really exciting news to share…

I’m traveling to India and I want you to come with me!

Yes, for the first time, I’ll be co-leading a tour in a country that I’ve always wanted to visit: India! You’ll be traveling in a small group, led by an expert travel guide and a travel blogger (me!). The two of us both specialize in vegan travel, eco-friendly travel, responsible wildlife tourism, and sustainable travel. The tour will be guided by those principles in an effort to combat over-tourism and highlight unique activities that are kind to people, animals, and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

So, are you as excited as I am? I can’t wait to embark on this exciting vegan India adventure! To those who are interested in learning more, please don’t hesitate to ask any questions, whether you send me a private email (justinpluslauren@gmail.com) or ask a question in the comments section below. You can also check out the frequently asked questions page on the official website.

Who is organizing the trip?

This trip is organized by Escape To…, a social enterprise that has hosted over 700 international travelers in India on both volunteer and experiential programs for the past 8 years. You’re in good hands! 

I will also be leading the trip! I’ve been vegan for over 10 years now and raised as a vegetarian (vegetarian for life!). I am a vegan travel expert and a world traveler who writes this blog. Here are a few more things about me.

Do I have to be vegan to take the trip?

No, you don’t have to be vegan! Bring your appetite and an open mind, and you’ll be all set! It’s wonderful if you have an interest in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. However, if sustainable and conscious travel is more your jam, that’s totally cool. All provided meals will be vegan, but you don’t have to have any kind of background or knowledge in vegetarianism or veganism. If you’d like to learn more, I interviewed Prachi Jain, the vegan travel expert and owner of Escape To…by Fairkonnect who will be joining us on the trip. She gave some awesome tips and insight into traveling as a vegan in India.

Plus, all of the activities and destinations are scouted out in advance for your comfort and safety.

Is this trip good for first time visitors to India?

Yes! While I have traveled all over the world, it is my first trip to India, too! We will explore this country together, whether it’s your first time or you’ve visited many times. 

How many people will be on the trip?

The trip will consist of 8-12 people, capped at 12, with two leaders (I am one of them!). 

Who will travel on this vegan India adventure?

The group will consist of travelers over 18 from all over the world. Bring along your best friends and family members if you’d like! I’m sure we will have a collective interest in embarking on a meaningful, culturally responsible experience. Whether you’re interested in vegan travel, vegan food in India, sustainable travel, eco-friendly travel, responsible wildlife tourism, conscious travel, or visiting places that are off the beaten path, you’ll be in good company.
