Know your Host

Tejaswinee Mohite will host you. Travel has always been an obsession for her. She spends hours reading travel-related articles from magazines and newspapers; learning about different places all over the country and around the world and also about people with different cultures and how they live their life. So when it came time to start working, it seemed natural that this is where she would work with passion.

She enjoys meeting new guests, hosting them, touring with them, and providing solutions to their problems – all so they can feel at home away from home during their stay with us. It’s these little things we do at every turn that make these moments so memorable. Besides being a host she also organize customized and group tours, and conduct specialized Yoga and Art Retreats.
