Why the India Unscripted

India is not a checklist.

It is stories, traditions and people that stay with you long after the photographs. I am Kamran Khan, born and raised in Agra, working in travel and tourism for more than ten years, and now licensed by the Ministry of Tourism to guide anywhere in India.

  • Licensed, not self-appointed

    The credential most guides around the Taj do not hold.

  • Born beside the Taj Mahal

    Which gate, which hour, which claims to ignore.

  • English, Spanish and Hindi

    No interpreter between you and the story.

  • You book me, directly

    No agency markup, no handover on day two.

Before you book

Questions travellers ask.

Is Kamran Khan a government licensed tour guide?

Yes. Kamran Khan holds a pan-India tour guide licence recognised by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. It authorises professional guiding at India's protected monuments and major cultural sites, and it is renewed periodically.

Most people offering guiding services around the Taj Mahal do not hold this licence. The card is shown on the guide services page and can be checked at the monument gate.

What is the best time to visit the Taj Mahal?

Sunrise, between October and March. The marble changes colour in the early light, temperatures are comfortable, and crowds are a fraction of what they become by mid-morning. The Taj Mahal is closed to tourists every Friday for prayers.

The full month-by-month breakdown is here.

How many days do you need for the Golden Triangle?

Four days covers Delhi, Agra and Jaipur at a workable pace. Six days lets you add Fatehpur Sikri, an unhurried second morning in Agra, and time in Jaipur beyond the two main forts. Three days is possible but leaves almost no margin for traffic or rest.

Do you guide tours in Spanish?

Yes. Tours are guided in English, Spanish and Hindi, by me personally rather than through an interpreter. A good number of travellers book specifically so the guiding happens in their own language.

Esta página también está disponible en español.

Are the tours private?

Every tour is private. Nothing is shared with another group, the itinerary is built around your interests and pace, and the guide you message before the trip is the guide who meets you in India.
