I'm Anna, and every Chalo Folks journey is personally designed and hosted by me. With years of experience leading tours across India, I create small-group experiences that go beyond landmarks, connecting you with culture, community and the stories that make this country unforgettable.

"I felt so safe and taken care of. I was nervous about coming to India but Anna made me feel so much better and had my back whenever I needed it."
Our story
Travel, for me, was never about collecting destinations. It was about paying attention. The way a city sounds before it fully wakes up, the rhythm of markets, the pride in an artisan's voice when they speak about their craft.
Somewhere between leading tours for one of the world's largest travel DMCs and wandering solo, a question stayed with me. What if travel felt less commercial and more conscious? Less rushed and more relational?
That question became Chalo Folks. Read the full story →

“They say coincidences don’t exist, only pieces of a larger puzzle. Travel has a way of placing the right pieces in your hands, often when you didn’t know you were looking for them.”
Our commitment
Thoughtful travel is not a luxury. It's a responsibility we take seriously on every journey.
At Chalo Folks, sustainability isn't a checklist. It's how we choose to travel. We believe the places we visit are not backdrops, but homes, cultures, and ecosystems that deserve respect.
From small group sizes and walking tours to heritage stays and local guides, every trip is designed to minimise impact while creating meaningful connections.
We support local communities and women-led initiatives, choose artisans over mass-produced souvenirs, and avoid experiences that exploit wildlife or people.
Along the way, we share conversations around responsible travel: about culture, conservation, and everyday life in India. So that when you leave, you carry more than memories.
You leave with understanding.

From day one she made me feel comfortable as part of the group. By the end it quickly felt as if I was travelling with a friend. Professional, well-organised and so knowledgeable.

I felt she had my back. Diplomatic when necessary, firm when required. Unflappable and a credit to your company.
