If you’re keen to get a behind-the-scenes peek at what it’s like leading a group of travellers through one of the most colourful and chaotic countries in the world, you’ll love this interview with Santosh Kumar, a long-time tour leader with Exodus. Today, we’re sitting down with him to talk about his background, how he got his start as a tour guide, his top insider tips for visiting South India, and much more. If this spectacular part of the world is on your travel wish list, keep watching to learn why you should visit ASAP!
Santosh’s career began at a travel agency in Delhi, where he quickly learned what it takes to design the perfect travel itinerary. From there, he transitioned into the world of group tours, and in 2009, he joined the Exodus team as a tour leader. As you can see from this video, Santosh loves his job, and he has a genuine passion for travel and showing visitors the best of his home country.
One of the biggest perks of travelling with a local guide is all the insider knowledge and insight you’ll get throughout your trip. Booking an organised tour also means you don’t have to worry about things like logistics, finding accommodations, and all those tiny, tedious details — which is especially helpful when you’re travelling in a place like India (where it’s not uncommon to be hit with a healthy dose of culture shock).
Santosh also touches on why Exodus trips are so unique; he says it’s because the company’s tours include so much variety. On the Kerala tour featured in this video, for example, you get to experience a little bit of everything — from history to nature, culture and local cuisine. And, speaking of cuisine, Santosh also lets us in on a little secret and reveals the number one dish you absolutely must try if you’re visiting South India!
