Ms. Chhobi Choudary
Director, Operations and Guest Experiences
With over 25 years in the travel industry, I specialise in crafting bespoke journeys that capture the soul of India. For me, travel is more than a profession, it’s a way of connecting people, cultures, and stories in meaningful ways.
Kerala is my favourite destination, loved for its natural beauty and the warmth of its people. At home, I unwind by spending time with my daughter and expressing my love through cooking, especially my favourite, Bengali fish curry with hilsa.
Over the years, I’ve built cherished friendships across the world, designing personalised experiences for guests who return like family. It’s been a journey of growth, learning, and immense joy.
