About the Founder - Kunal Jain
Kunal is originally from Agra but he has studied, lived and worked in Nainital (Himalayas), Germany, New York, Washington DC, Dubai and Singapore. Schooled in Sherwood, Nainital, he was introduced to the outdoors and wilderness from his days in boarding school. Kunal would often bunk school to go to 'Cliffs' and explore the 'khud side' and eagerly waited for Sundays when the Out-bound Club would go on day trips exploring near by Nainital. In 2014, Kunal took a sabbatical from his job in Singapore and spent some time volunteering with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Center for Wildlife Studies (CWS) in the forests of South India.

He went back to Singapore but it didn't take him long to realize that he is happiest when surrounded by nature and wildlife. He quit his cubicle job and moved back to India soon after. In 2017, he started Travel With.
In less than three years, Travel With has been rated in the top 5% of Outdoor Activities in Delhi NCR on TripAdvisor. This is a huge accomplishment for us as we are considered a 'baby' in the travel industry with no former experience or 'connections'. However, our guests have spoken and we are thankful to all of you who have traveled with us far and wide, across India.
When not leading or organizing holidays for his guests, Kunal travels to new destinations, stays at hotels/lodges, walks with guides and naturalists, uses all modes of transportation, checks out road conditions and ease of access thus sticking to his modus operandi - 'recommend only when personally tried and tested'. He also actively seeks opportunities whereby he can learn more about the forest and it's beings and finally he loves his extended family i.e. his dogs, and spends a lot of time with them when in Agra.

About Travel With
Travel With is not a company, neither is it an organization nor is it a corporation. Travel With is People, to be precise - like-minded people from all walks of life, regardless of what degree you hold, your family background or your financial status.
With the support of this network of People, we lead and organize holidays to un-crowded destinations in India - destinations rich in nature, wildlife and guest relations and far away from mainstream, crowded and one-off tourism.
Based in Agra, Travel With organizes river safaris and ravine walks on and around the Chambal river. The Chambal River Safari is one of our top rated and reviewed experiences. We also lead and organize ethical wildlife safaris in national parks and wildlife sanctuaries and back to nature getaways in the Himalayas. Whatever we recommend to you is personally tried and tested by Kunal.

So, be it a glamping trip to see leopards in rural Rajasthan, weekend getaway to see the endangered Gharial crocodile on your way to the Taj Mahal, longer trips for those looking to detox in the Himalayas, small sized camping and outdoor trips for kids (and adults) or corporate retreats, we can organize and/or accompany you on such experiences.

Travel With does not engage in unethical practices that are rampant in wildlife tourism these days, some of these include call playback of birds to get that perfect photo, feeding, baiting or petting of wildlife. Kunal also insists that the guides and resorts he partners with do not engage in such practices that are detriment in the long run to the survival of our fellow forest beings. Travel With also actively tries to minimize it's carbon foot print but we understand that it may not always be practical to do so.
