Where Education Meets
Adventure & Exploration
Central Group of Companies brings together world-class educational tours and hands-on aerospace training programs — inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.
From Journeys to Transformation
At CENTRAL Adventures and Holidays, we believe that true education does not happen only within four walls — it happens on mountain trails, inside museums, under star-filled skies, and through experiences that awaken curiosity, confidence, and wisdom. For nearly four decades, CENTRAL has remained committed to the philosophy of “Education Through Travel.”
CENTRAL Group of Companies
Founded and led by Milan Kumar Ittal, CENTRAL has evolved from an educational travel company into a holistic learning and experiential development institution that has positively touched the lives of thousands of students, educators, families, institutions, and travellers across India and the world.
Our journeys have never been about sightseeing alone — they have always been about insight: transforming travel into awareness, exposure into confidence, and experiences into lifelong learning. Over the years, CENTRAL has curated educational and experiential programs across India and internationally — including Malaysia, Europe, Egypt, the USA, NASA, and many other destinations — helping participants discover not only the world, but also themselves.
Today, the CENTRAL Group of Companies stands on two powerful pillars — CENTRAL Travel & Learn, designed to make journeys meaningful, enriching, and transformational; and CENTRAL Knowledge Experiences, created to bring practical, future-focused, and inspiring learning to students, educators, institutions, and communities.
Our Values
Humility
We remain grounded in gratitude for all the learning and support we have received from the 600+ schools across India we have worked with since 1987.
Trust & Responsibility
Parents, institutions, and our dearest children place their faith in us — and we honour that trust with sincerity, care, and commitment.
Learning Beyond Classrooms
Education must be experienced, felt, and lived. Our workshops and education-driven travel programs are a testimony to that belief.
Safety & Care
The wellbeing of every participant remains our highest priority on every journey and in every session.
Transformation Through Experience
Every journey should leave behind greater awareness, confidence, and inspiration — supported by our pre-training and post-reflection sessions.
Relationships for Life
We do not believe in transactions alone. We believe in nurturing long-term bonds and meaningful partnerships.
Our Commitment
For nearly 39 years, CENTRAL has remained dedicated to creating experiences that go beyond itineraries and schedules. We are committed to building bridges between people, cultures, knowledge, institutions, and ideas.
To inspire minds. To enrich lives. To transform journeys into lifelong learning experiences.
Because at CENTRAL, every journey is not just a destination reached — it is a life experience remembered forever.
