Signature journeys
through India.

Four ways into the country — royal, wild, sacred and slow. Each one a starting point, not a fixed itinerary.

Four starting points

Every journey below is a beginning, not a brochure. We shape the detail — pace, stays, access — around the traveller in front of us.

Browse by the kind of India that calls to you, then tell us more. What follows is a private itinerary built around your dates, your curiosities and the people you’re travelling with.

01 — Iconic

Golden Triangle

Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.

India’s most celebrated route, reintroduced. Rather than a checklist of monuments, we build in the quiet hours — sunrise at the Taj before the gates open to the public, palace wings closed to regular visitors, and evenings with historians who bring the Mughal and Rajput courts back to life.

Route Delhi – Agra – Jaipur · Duration 7 – 9 days · Best for First journeys to India · Pace Comfortable

What’s included

  • Private sunrise access to the Taj Mahal, ahead of the crowds
  • Palace wings and havelis not open to general visitors
  • Evenings with local historians, not standard guides
  • Heritage stays inside forts and havelis in each city
02 — Royal Heritage

The Art of Royal India

Udaipur and beyond.

Private access to family-held havelis, dinners hosted by descendants of the old royal houses, and forts that open for you alone before the ticketed hours begin. This is Rajasthan told through the families who still call these palaces home.

Route Delhi – Udaipur – Jodhpur – Jaipur – Agra – Delhi · Duration 12 days · Best for Culture & romance seekers · Pace Slow, immersive

What’s included

  • Private evenings inside family-held havelis
  • Forts and lake palaces opened exclusively for you
  • Royal-recipe dining, curated with local chefs
  • Boutique, heritage and lakeside stays throughout
03 — South India

A Slower India

Backwaters, temples, and time to think.

Kerala’s waterways, Tamil temple towns at dawn, and coffee estates in the Western Ghats — a quieter register of India, built for travellers who’ve learned to slow down.

Region Kerala & Tamil Nadu · Duration 8 – 10 days · Best for Slow travel & nature seekers · Pace Restorative

What’s included

  • Private houseboat days on the Kerala backwaters
  • Dawn visits to Tamil temple towns, ahead of the crowds
  • Stays on working coffee estates in the Western Ghats
  • A gentler counterpoint to Rajasthan’s palaces and forts
04 — Wildlife

Into the Wild, Quietly.

Rajasthan’s untamed side.

Dawn drives through private reserves, tracking tigers and lesser-seen wildlife with naturalists rather than crowds of jeeps. Nights unfold under open desert skies, in camps built for stillness rather than spectacle.

Leopard Route Delhi – Jaipur – Jawai – Jodhpur – Jaipur · Duration 9 – 11 days · Tiger Route Delhi – Agra – Ranthambore – Jaipur – Delhi · Duration 5 – 7 days · Best for Nature & wildlife lovers · Pace Active, early mornings

What’s included

  • Private reserve access with expert naturalist guides
  • Dawn and dusk drives, timed away from peak crowds
  • Desert camps designed for quiet and dark skies
  • Optional pairing with a Rajasthan heritage leg
05 — Wellness

The Art of Ayurveda

India’s ancient system of natural healing.

Practiced for over 5,000 years, Ayurveda is more than a treatment — it’s a way of living that seeks balance between body, mind and spirit. We match you with practitioners and retreats suited to what you’re seeking, not a generic spa menu.

Duration 7 – 14 days · Best for Wellness & slow travel seekers · Pace Restorative

What’s included

  • Personalised consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner
  • Traditional treatments matched to your constitution
  • Yoga and meditation woven into each day
  • Quiet, nature-set retreats away from resort crowds
06 — Desert Heritage

The Golden City of Jaisalmer

Where the Thar Desert turns to gold.

A longer, unhurried arc across Rajasthan’s desert edge — from lake palaces to blue-city havelis, and on to the sandstone fort city of Jaisalmer before looping back through Jaipur and Agra. Built for travellers who want the full sweep of Rajasthan, not just its highlights.

Route Delhi – Udaipur – Jodhpur – Jaisalmer – Jodhpur – Jaipur – Agra – Delhi · Duration 15 days · Best for In-depth Rajasthan explorers · Pace Slow, immersive

What’s included

  • Lake palaces in Udaipur and blue-city havelis in Jodhpur
  • Private time inside Jaisalmer’s living sandstone fort
  • A night under the stars in the dunes beyond the city
  • Full loop back through Jaipur and Agra to close the journey
07 — Experience

Dera Amer Elephant Camp

A night in the forest, at the foot of Jaipur’s hills.

Tucked in the Aravalli forest just outside Jaipur, Dera Amer pairs ethical, hands-on time with rescued elephants — bathing, feeding and walking them through the trees — with a night of understated glamping under canvas. A slower, wilder counterpoint to the palaces and forts, easily added to any journey through Rajasthan.

Location Aravalli forest, near Jaipur · Duration 1 – 2 nights · Best for Families & nature lovers · Pace Relaxed

What’s included

  • Ethical, hands-on time with rescued elephants
  • Luxury glamping tents set among the forest
  • Guided nature walks through the Aravalli hills
  • Fireside dinners under open skies

Pairs well with

  • Golden Triangle, as a forest interlude near Jaipur
  • The Art of Royal India, before heading on to Udaipur
