Our founder Harsh Agarwal at heart is an explorer whose love for exploring India is reflected in his professional photography for which he has won prestigious awards such as –

• I-click Photography award bagged 1st prize in Street photography, 2016.
•  His work has also been recognized around the world through various publications and exhibitions.
• In 2015 he got special recognition with his Photo Review by Uttar Pradesh Tourism – of “People performing Namaz in Tajmahal” and published in well-known magazines like Asian Photography etc.

IMT is his brainchild, and the idea of this tourism setup was conceived in his mind in 2006, while he was backpacking in Pushkar.

After extensively traveling across the country, he decided he needs to share this limitless ocean of culture and history by offering inbound culture and photography tours to outside India clients who share his passion for exploration.

His resolution to succeed has been further fortified by his wife Mrs. Arti Agrawal, who started off as a Spanish-speaking tour leader and now they lead their expeditions together.

Together they have traveled to Ladakh to shoot galaxies, walked in the narrow alleyways of Varanasi and Jodhpur, witnessed the Kumbh Mela in 2016 and 2019 – all while capturing award-winning pictures, with the pictures of the Nagas from the Kumbh Mela gaining widespread attention.

The gypsies and the camels of the Pushkar region, a region where Harsh has led photography tours since 2012, have now become their friends. Harsh and Arti have also experienced the joys of traveling and capturing the lives of the tribes of Vietnam.

Recently they finished with their Sri Lanka scouting trip for culture tour and photography workshops with elephants, in partnership with US-based award-winning Photographer- Mr. Oliver Klink.
