Journeys

Journeys made around you.

Six routes that have worked well. Treat them as conversation starters — every one is rebuilt for the people travelling.

We do not publish prices or departure dates, because neither is real until a journey is designed. What a journey costs depends on when you travel, how you like to stay and how many of you there are — so we quote once, properly, and itemise it.

8 days · Classic first visit

The Golden Triangle

Delhi · Agra · Jaipur

The three cities that most people see first, at a pace that leaves room to enjoy them. Delhi across two eras, the Taj Mahal at first light, and Jaipur’s old city — with the drive between them broken by Fatehpur Sikri rather than endured.

The Slow South

Kochi · Munnar · Thekkady · Alleppey

Kerala from the coast upward and back again: a colonial port city, tea hills, a spice plantation and a night on the backwaters. Short drives, long afternoons and the easiest introduction to India we know.

12 days · Mountains and monasteries

The Eastern Himalaya

Darjeeling · Sikkim · Bhutan

A single mountain range across two countries. Tea gardens above Darjeeling, monastery towns in Sikkim, then over the border into Bhutan for the valleys of Paro and Punakha and the climb to Taktsang.

11 days · Wildlife

India’s Wild Side

Central Indian tiger reserves

Two or three reserves rather than a tour of many, so you have the mornings and the patience that wildlife actually requires. Naturalist-led drives, unhurried afternoons and lodges chosen for their guiding rather than their spa.

Beyond the Familiar

Meghalaya · Assam

The states east of Bangladesh, where the hills are wet and green and very few travellers go. Living root bridges, clear rivers, Khasi villages and the Brahmaputra. Permits and logistics handled before you arrive.

13 days · Heritage

Rajasthan in Depth

Jaipur · Jodhpur · Udaipur · Thar Desert

Past the highlights and into the state itself — the blue city, the lake palaces, the smaller towns between them, and two nights where the road runs out at the edge of the desert.

How it works

Four steps, and no obligation until you say yes.

Designing and revising an itinerary costs nothing. You only commit once the journey is genuinely the one you want.

01

Tell us your idea

Send us as much or as little as you have — dates, a rough shape, or simply that you would like to see India. A conversation follows, by email or call, at a time that works where you are.

02

We design your journey

You receive a written itinerary: the route, why it runs in that order, where you stay each night and what each day actually involves.

03

We refine it together

Almost nobody takes the first draft. Change the pace, swap a region, add days, take days out. This is the part that matters most, and there is no charge for revisions.

04

You travel

Everything is confirmed and documented before you fly. You travel with a local point of contact and our number, and we stay reachable throughout.

None of these quite right?

Good — that is usually the case. Describe the journey you actually want and we will design it from scratch.
