Rooted in the community

We didn’t build this business to sell fares. We built it to stay part of the community.

Patel Travel started as, and still is, a family business serving London’s Indian community — Gujarati, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu spoken in the office, not just on a translation app. We know the festival calendar, the wedding season, and the families who’ve booked with us for a decade or more.

Languages spoken

Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu & English — ask for someone in your language.

Festival-aware

We plan around Diwali, Navratri and wedding season, not just school holidays.

Word of mouth

Most of our clients are referred by family or friends we’ve already looked after.

Common questions

Kumbh Mela 2027 — common questions

How early should I book Kumbh Mela flights?

As early as possible — fares and availability both tend to worsen the closer you get to the dates. Registering interest now costs nothing.

Which airport should we fly into?

Varanasi and Prayagraj are the most relevant depending on where the mela is held that year — we’ll confirm the best option once your dates are set.

Can you handle a large group booking?

Yes — this is exactly the kind of trip we’re built for. Send us your group size and departure cities and we’ll take it from there.
