With a travel portfolio that spans India, Morocco, Peru, African safaris and destinations like Costa Rica, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece, I am dedicated to exploring the world in a way that is both enriching and environmentally conscious.

Padma's reviews
We have worked with Padma in the past, when she booked a trip for us to Portugal. She is a pleasure to work with, she takes the time to understand our specific (and sometimes) unique needs. It is very easy to work with Padma given her willingness to go the extra mile to make sure the plans are tailored. She is very responsive, patient and returns all calls and messages promptly. All this makes the process less painful. We will definitely call upon Padma when we plan our next trip.

Our multi-family trip to Costa Rica was the right balance of invigorating family fun, exciting opportunities to experience the natural beauty of the country, relaxing, a touch of luxury, and best of all – well organized at every turn. From the hotel selections that were spot-on to the activities selected to balance each day with new experiences and time together as an extended family, and so much more – Padma and her team at Fora are the best choice for planning every trip!
