Who We Are

India, built for people
who live to travel.

Chuttibaaz is a premium private tour operator for international travelers who take their holidays seriously. The name is rooted in Hindi — chutti means holiday, baaz means one who lives for it. That is our guest. That is our promise.

We are not a booking platform. We are not a package tour company. We are a small, expert team that builds deeply personal India journeys — tailored to your pace, your interests, and the kind of story you want to bring home.

We handle everything. From the moment you land to the moment you depart, every detail is arranged, confirmed, and ready. You just show up.

Specializing in American & international travelers since 2008

American Traveler Guide

Everything you need to know
before booking India.

We answer the 10 questions every American traveler asks — so you can book with total confidence.

🛂

Do I need a visa?

Yes — US citizens need an India e-Visa. Apply online at indianvisaonline.gov.in — approved in 3–5 business days. Tourist e-Visa is valid 90 days. Cost: ~$25. We send you the full guide after booking.

🌤️

Best time to visit

October–March is ideal for North India (Agra, Delhi, Jaipur, Rajasthan) — cool and dry. Most American travelers visit Nov–Feb. Avoid May–June (extreme heat). South India & Kerala are great year-round.

💵

How do I pay?

All prices are quoted in USD. Pay by credit/debit card, PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer — whichever is easiest. A small deposit secures your booking; balance due closer to travel. No forex hassle.

🔓

Free cancellation policy

Cancel 48 hours before your tour and pay nothing. No questions asked. Day tours: 100% refund if cancelled 48hrs out. Multi-day tours: deposit is non-refundable within 14 days of start. We know plans change.

What's always included

Every Chuttibaaz tour includes: hotel pickup & drop, air-conditioned private vehicle, English-speaking licensed guide, skip-the-line entry tickets (where available), and bottled water. Clearly stated — no surprises.

🛡️

Is India safe?

India is one of the world's most visited destinations. Tourist areas are very safe. We recommend travel insurance (we can suggest providers), keep your embassy registered, avoid unmarked taxis. Your guide has our emergency number 24/7.

📱

Connectivity & phone

Buy a local SIM at Delhi airport (~$5, 28-day unlimited data) or use an eSIM via Airalo before you fly. WhatsApp works perfectly — that's how we communicate throughout your trip. Google Maps works everywhere.

🧳

What to pack / wear

For temples: cover shoulders and knees (scarves work great). Light cotton clothes Oct–Mar. Comfortable walking shoes — Taj Mahal requires no-leather shoes inside (booties provided). Sunscreen, sunglasses, a small daypack. Keep it simple.

🍽️

Food & dietary needs

Tell us your dietary requirements (vegan, gluten-free, nut allergies) and we arrange everything. Agra has excellent hygiene-certified restaurants. We recommend bottled water only. International food easily available. Indian food is incredible — try it!

Your dedicated India expert — local knowledge, global standards, personal service from first message to final day.

Traveller Stories

Journeys that stay
with you forever.

★★★★★

We got to the Taj Mahal 20 minutes after it opened — no crowd, perfect light. Our guide knew every story. Booked from New York and everything worked flawlessly. Worth every dollar.

Golden Triangle Private Tour · New York, USA 🇺🇸
★★★★★

As a solo American woman, I was nervous about India. Chuttibaaz handled everything — picked me up from the hotel, safe AC car, English guide who became a friend. I felt totally secure.

Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour · California, USA 🇺🇸
★★★★★

Skip-the-line tickets were a game-changer. While other tourists waited 90 minutes we walked straight in. The moonlight tour was unreal — 400 people max, the Taj glowing white. Unforgettable.

FAQ

Everything you
want to know.

Yes. US citizens need an India e-Visa — apply at indianvisaonline.gov.in. It typically takes 3–5 business days and costs about $25 for a 90-day tourist visa. We send you a step-by-step guide as soon as you book with us. Apply at least 2 weeks before travel to be safe.
Yes — all day tours have free cancellation if you cancel at least 48 hours before the start time. You get a full refund, no questions asked. Multi-day tours: the deposit is non-refundable within 14 days of the start date, but the balance is fully refundable. We know travel plans change.
100% private — always. Your own vehicle, your own guide, your own schedule. We never add other travellers to your tour. If you book solo, it's still exclusively yours. This is our core promise — not a "private-ish" shared bus with a private label.
Yes — all pricing is in USD. Pay by credit/debit card, PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer. We collect a small deposit to confirm the booking; the remainder is due closer to your travel date. No currency conversion needed on your end.
At peak times (9am–12pm) the regular ticket queue at the Taj can be 45–90 minutes. Skip-the-line means we pre-purchase your entry tickets so you go directly to the fast-entry gate — no waiting in the general queue. We also time your visit to the first entry slot (6am) to beat the crowds entirely.
October through March is ideal for North India (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Rajasthan) — temperatures are comfortable and skies are clear. December and January are the most popular months for American tourists. Avoid April–June for Agra (40–47°C / 104–117°F). South India and Kerala are great year-round.
WhatsApp is the fastest — message +91 8630216294 anytime. We're 9.5–12.5 hours ahead of US timezones, so messages sent in the evening US time get a response by morning India time. Email us at info@chuttibaaz.com for detailed enquiries. We reply within 2 hours during working hours.
