STB Tours is built on a simple belief: India is best experienced when travel is personal, thoughtfully planned, and led by people who know the country from the inside out.
Founded by Anand Kapil, the company brings together nearly two decades of hands-on experience in inbound tourism, escorted journeys, and destination management. Every itinerary is shaped by someone who has walked these roads, stayed in these hotels, and built relationships with guides and communities across the country.
Meet the Founder
Anand Kapil — Founding Member, STB Tours
For nearly 20 years, Anand has led premium escorted tours across India with Intrepid Travel — guiding groups through Rajasthan’s palaces, Kerala’s backwaters, the Himalayas, and everywhere in between. That depth of field experience shapes how STB Tours designs and delivers every journey today.
He does not just plan trips from a desk. He has been on the ground — coordinating suppliers, solving problems in real time, and making sure every traveller feels cared for. That is the standard he brings to STB Tours.
India has a way of changing people. My job is to make sure that change happens in the best possible way — through genuine connection, careful planning, and a journey that feels effortless even when the country is wonderfully unpredictable.
