Suggested Team Incentive Activities

Safari to a National Park

A memorable wildlife safari is followed by a hearty BBQ meal around the campfire. As per your requirements, we either come back the following day or stay another night.

Wellness Trip:

Do your employees work and play hard? Maybe they need a retreat away from all of that, and a way to learn how to get balance into their lives. A wellness incentive trip could be the answer. Imagine a week-long spa vacation near the beach, where your employees can detox their minds and bodies and have them return to work feeling like a new person. Or how about a yoga retreat in the desert, where they’ll find their centre and enhance their focus.

See a Wonder of the World:

Have any of your employees ever dreamed of seeing the Taj Mahal in India? You could offer a creative incentive trip that makes their dream come true.

Go on a Food Tour:

If your office is full of foodies, consider an incentive trip that’s based around food. Select few cities of India and try out their regional hits like Delhi - Mughlai Food, Lucknow - Awadhi Cuisine, Kerala - traditional dishes. Want to be adventurous and exotic? Consider India and ensure to line up some events that delve into the local culture and history behind the cuisine. Your employees will have the chance to eat delicious food also, allowing them to explore another culture and see new ways of doing things that they might then be able to integrate into their workplace.

Our seamless processes ensure that you can leave everything in our hands, and simply let it unfold before you. Contact our Incentive Department for a tailor-made motivational programme to suit your specific requirements, as per your interest/budget/travel period etc.
