Individual & Family Travel

Nine countries. One conversation.

One house, one conversation.

The desk

One specialist, end to end.

Arika's individual travel desk is a travel agency in Goregaon East, Mumbai, for families and private travellers, in operation since 1994. It builds each itinerary once, for the people travelling, and handles the visa, forex and flights in the same conversation — with one named specialist from first call to return flight.

Why this desk

A portal sells a seat. We own the journey.

Six things a family gets from one named person.

  1. I

    One specialist, end to end

    The person who designs your itinerary is the person who answers when something changes.

  2. II

    Visa and forex under the same roof

    Your documents and your currency move with your booking, not on separate timelines.

  3. III

    Designed once, for you

    No fixed departures, no seat-fill economics, no average traveller.

  4. IV

    Destination partners on the ground

    Our own DMC contacts per country, compared against the aggregators for every itinerary.

  5. V

    Thirty years of hotel standing

    Upgrades that come standard, suites that appear when none are listed.

  6. VI

    Reachable while you travel

    A named person, not a helpline.

Straight answers

What people ask before they plan.

Four questions families ask before a first conversation, answered plainly.

  1. 01

    How is a family holiday planned with Arika?

    A conversation about how your family travels, then a draft itinerary, revisions until it is right, documentation including visas and forex, and support while you are away — all with one named specialist.

    The specialist listens first — how you travel, who is travelling, what matters — then drafts, revises and documents. Visa and forex files open alongside the itinerary so nothing is left to the last week. While you are away, the same person is reachable.

  2. 02

    Can Arika handle visas and currency for the whole family?

    Yes. The visa desk handles the documentation and the forex desk delivers currency to your door; both sit in the same office as the travel desk, so one point of contact manages everything.

    Read the full answerClose

    Visa files are handled by our visa desk with one case owner per family, and currency is delivered to your door by our RBI-compliant forex desk. Because both sit in the same office as the travel desk, you tell your story once.

  3. 03

    Why use a travel agent in Goregaon instead of booking online?

    Because one named person holds the visa, the flights, the hotel and the forex together, and answers when something moves. A portal sells you a seat; a travel agent owns the journey.

    The difference shows when a flight is rescheduled at night, a consulate asks for one more document, or a hotel releases a room you were holding. Each of those has a desk in the same office, and your specialist walks across to it. Our office is on the Western Express Highway in Goregaon East, and most journeys are arranged entirely over WhatsApp and email.

  4. 04

    Do you sell group tours with fixed dates?

    No. Arika runs no fixed departures. Friends and families who want to travel together do so on their own dates, with an itinerary designed for them.

    We chose not to run fixed departures. Families and friends who want to travel together do so on their own dates, at their own pace, with hotels chosen for them rather than for a coach.
