If you’re seeking an authentic Indian adventure, we’re here to help. With nearly two decades of experience designing bespoke India itineraries, we create journeys aligned with your unique interests and dreams, no matter where in India you’d like to explore.
We specialise in creating tailormade trips to India with a personalised approach that reflects our deep passion for the country. Our trips focus on storytelling, community engagement and authentic human connection, as well as supporting small initiatives in the country. Our recommendations are consistently linked with independently run accommodation and experiences operated by small businesses, expert locals and cooperatives.
All of our tailormade trips are fully supported, from private guided sightseeing with English-speaking guides, to having your own private vehicle and driver. Every aspect of the trip is meticulously planned to ensure a unique and unforgettable experience.
WHERE TO?
We design journeys to every corner of India, tailoring each trip to our guests' unique interests. To help you envision the possibilities, we’ve outlined each region here with examples of the experiences available. We encourage mindful travel, suggesting a focus on a single region per trip—allowing you to deeply connect with local cultures and enjoy a slower, more immersive experience. This approach also minimises the need for constant travel, letting you fully savour each location rather than rushing to see it all.
North India
Colourful bazaars, noisy car horns and the smell of spices – this is the India that many think of when the country first comes to mind. Here in North India these images become reality and provide the quintessential experience for both the first timer and the seasoned traveller. Whether you’re looking for enchanting palaces in the cities of Jaipur and Jodhpur, vivid temple ceremonies in Amritsar or the snow-capped mountains of Himachal Pradesh, this region of India offers it all.
South India
South India provides a myriad of opportunity with its spectacular temple architecture, serene backwaters and rolling tea hills. A trip to this region may be filled with countless immersive experiences, from traditionally colourful temples to meeting locals in one of the world's oldest living cities. You can take things slow with a visit to Puducherry's stylish boutiques and delicious patisseries or walk through the lush green hills of Kerala.
West India
Follow the bright lights of Bollywood and they will lead you to Mumbai, the beating heart of India, with it’s melting pot of cultures and extreme energy. Outside of the city, the west side of the country also offers intrepid visitors a glimpse at some exquisite treasures in the state of Gujarat, ranging from India’s finest textiles to sacred Hindu and Jain pilgrimage sites. Life can also be easy going here, and many tired travellers enjoy concluding their trip with a few days by the beach under the Goan palm trees.
Central India
Step into the pages of the Jungle Book as you discover the wild forests of Central India. Here you can explore the jungle in search of the famous tigers, as well as the less well known wildlife such as the sloth bear and striped hyena. In addition, a hidden detour into the heartland of the country will take you to uncover untouched spiritual towns and village communities, waiting to be explored.
East India
Dominated by the mega-city of Kolkata, East India attracts those seeking an alternative Indian experience. This region of India offers the unexpected: witnessing the Goddess Durga being immersed into the River Hooghly, tracking Royal Bengal tigers in the mangroves and staying in an 18th-century former royal palace in Odisha. If you can, venturing away from the well known areas will surprise you with breathtaking scenery, ancient monasteries as well as the chance to encounter indigenous tribal communities.
