The regions
Most first trips follow the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, then continue to Rajasthan, a tiger reserve or the south. We arrange private drivers, expert guides and hotels in restored palaces, so the distances feel easy and the days stay unhurried.
The Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar and the lanes of Old Delhi, with a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk.
The Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort and the abandoned Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri on the road to Jaipur.
The Pink City, with the Hawa Mahal, the hilltop Amber Fort, the City Palace and colorful bazaars for textiles and gems.
Lake palaces in Udaipur, the blue city of Jodhpur below Mehrangarh Fort, and desert nights near Jaisalmer.
Houseboat journeys on the backwaters, tea plantations in Munnar and the historic port of Kochi on the Arabian Sea.
Marble tombs, desert forts and palm-lined backwaters.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
Game drives in Ranthambore and the parks of central India, with naturalist guides and lodges near the reserves.
Cooking classes, spice markets, street food walks in Old Delhi and the regional cuisines of the north and south.
The evening ceremony on the Ganges in Varanasi, the Golden Temple in Amritsar, and yoga and Ayurveda retreats.
Holi in spring, Diwali in autumn and the Pushkar Camel Fair, with hotels arranged well ahead of the dates.
