Gem Tours and Travels is India’s premier pure vegetarian international travel agency, founded in 1983 by Mr. Jyotin Doshi in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Starting with just two domestic sectors at the age of 18, Mr. Doshi built Gem Tours and Travels into one of India’s most recognized and trusted travel brands, now serving travelers across 6 continents and 45+ countries worldwide.
Over 42 years, Gem Tours and Travels has become the first choice for Indian vegetarian and Jain travelers seeking world-class international experiences without compromising on food, comfort, or safety.
What began as a small travel agency in Mumbai has grown into India’s most trusted pure vegetarian tour company. Gem Tours and Travels pioneered the concept of pure vegetarian international group tours from India, ensuring every traveler enjoys authentic Indian vegetarian and Jain-friendly meals prepared by our specialist Indian chef – no matter which corner of the world they visit. From South Africa’s iconic safaris to Scandinavia’s Northern Lights, from New Zealand’s stunning landscapes to Japan’s cherry blossoms, Gem Travels has crafted unforgettable journeys for thousands of Indian families since 1983.
Our chairman Mr. Jyotin Doshi’s vision was simple: every Indian traveler deserves to see the world without worrying about food. That vision remains at the heart of everything we do today.
