In the ever-evolving world of luxury, where experiences often risk becoming formulaic, Blingbird has carved a distinctive niche. This boutique travel company, founded in 2018, emerged from a simple yet powerful belief: travel should never be ordinary. With nearly three decades of expertise in the luxury space backing its vision, Blingbird has redefined the art of curated journeys—placing originality, depth, and emotional resonance at the centre of every itinerary.
Globally, the concept of bespoke, immersive travel was already on the rise. Yet in India, luxury still leaned heavily on excess and extravagance rather than thoughtful design. Blingbird stepped in to rewrite the script, bringing forward a philosophy where every journey is an intentional, soul-stirring expedition rather than a destination checklist.
The Visionary Behind the Brand
At the heart of Blingbird is Puja Khandelwal, Director & Chief Travel Designer, a tastemaker whose professional journey has always revolved around refinement. With a background spanning from the world of diamonds to bespoke holidays, Puja has cultivated an instinctive appreciation for privacy, detail, and individuality. She has personally designed experiences for some of the most prominent names in India, seamlessly blending exclusivity with authenticity.
Her guiding philosophy is simple yet profound: true expeditions must be rare, intentional, and soulful. It is this ethos that became the cornerstone of Blingbird, shaping the brand into more than a travel company—it became a curator of life-changing experiences.
A Distinctive Approach
In luxury travel, destination knowledge is the baseline. What sets Blingbird apart is perspective. Designing a journey through the Greek Islands, for instance, isn’t about offering a standard itinerary but about reimagining the destination through a new lens—private, unexpected, and deeply personal. Every element is selected not for status, but for its ability to create moments that can never be replicated.
For Blingbird’s clientele—seasoned travellers who view experiences as investments in memory—luxury is not about five-star labels. It is about resonance, originality, and how deeply a journey stays with you.
Growing With the Traveller
Blingbird thrives on curiosity. Some of its most innovative itineraries have been born from the requests of travellers who dared to ask for the extraordinary. These challenges drive the team to go beyond the obvious and design journeys that no algorithm or search engine could ever suggest.
The company’s senior creative team, supported by trusted local partners, ensures each itinerary feels alive and constantly evolving. Every plan is reimagined to stay relevant and refreshing, making repeat journeys with Blingbird as surprising as the first.
Service Excellence Meets Responsibility
For Blingbird, excellence begins with precision. From carefully handpicked hotels and seamless transfers to local guides who enrich journeys with authentic stories, no detail is left unattended.
Equally important is the brand’s commitment to responsibility. Luxury, in their view, is incomplete without care for people and the planet. Each journey is designed to minimise environmental impact, support local communities, and create sustainable opportunities—ensuring that indulgence and conscience travel together.
The Blingbird Promise
Today, Blingbird has grown into a name synonymous with journeys that are imaginative, meaningful, and timeless. Each itinerary is a work of art, infused with rarity and authenticity, curated by a team that sees travel as both discovery and storytelling.
For discerning travellers, Blingbird is not simply an advisor. It is a companion in exploration, a keeper of detail, and a creator of unforgettable memories.
Because true luxury lies not in where you go, but in how deeply it stays with you.
