In this exclusive interview, Mr. Sandeep Arora, Director of Brightsun Travel Private Limited, India shares how they create standout journeys, the role of technology in enhancing customer satisfaction, and how they continue to meet the changing expectations of modern travellers.
One of our most standout travel experiences was a bespoke itinerary we crafted for a couple from the UK celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. They wanted to explore India so we crafted an itinerary that perfectly blends culture, heritage, exploration and relaxation along with some personal touches to make their trip truly unforgettable. Their journey began with a private tour of the Taj Mahal at sunrise, where they enjoyed the iconic monument in a serene and intimate setting. This was followed by a stay at Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, where they experienced royal hospitality and then explored the magnificent fort and palaces of the Pink City during their 3 days stay. For relaxation, we arranged a trip to Goa for them to take some time out and enjoy the lovely beaches before flying back to the UK. For a personal touch, we also organised a traditional feast their favourite Indian dishes, curated by a renowned chef. The feedback we received from the couple was heart-warming. They were deeply moved by the thoughtful details and the effort we put into organising this trip, and described it as the most incredible and heartfelt travel experience they’ve ever had.

The experiences we offer depend on our clients’ preferences but our approach mostly involves creating bespoke itineraries that combine high-end accommodations and top- notch service with unique, immersive activities. For example, we might arrange a stay in a luxury resort in an offbeat destination, coupled with private guided hikes or exclusive cultural excursions like cook and dine with locals. This way, clients enjoy the finest comforts while exploring remote locations.
