Who we are

Born from a Passion for India

LA Riqueza Holidays was founded in 2013 with a singular belief: that the richness of India — its landscapes, cultures, flavours, and souls — deserved to be experienced by every Indian family, not just the privileged few.

Starting from a modest office in Delhi with a team of five passionate travel enthusiasts, we built our reputation one carefully planned trip at a time. Today, LA Riqueza Holidays is a 280-person organisation with offices in 12 cities, a network of 3,000+ verified local partners, and the honour of having planned over 1,50,000 journeys across India.
