Come explore India the way you want to!
I understand that everyone is different and that
my curated tours may not suit you.
That is why I am now inviting tour commissions: hand made itineraries that include the places you want to go and the experiences you would like to have.
India is a fascinating mix of cultures with 645 distinct tribal groups, 22 languages and many regional cuisines and festivals.
It is a country of varied landscapes, of ancient wisdom and religions, of modern commerce and industry, and a complicated history which can be read through the myriad archaeological sites, prehistoric cave art and important 20th century architecture as well as the back lanes and markets of the cities.
India is a country of villages – about 650,000 of them – where traditional life is lived, old crafts practiced, ancient agricultural systems observed, all of which co-exist with contemporary conveniences.
It is a place where animals roam in wild places and accessible safari parks, in cities and in temples.
India is a place of many, many festivals.
It is a place where you can travel like a pauper or royalty, staying in backpackers’ hostels or painted havelis, village bhungas or glittering palaces.
With so many choices, how do you choose where to go, what to see?
With years of on-the-ground research, community connections and ethical guidelines for travelling in India, I can work with you to co-design a tour of the less visited, niche, secret India. (And the Taj Mahal too if it’s a must-see for you).
What will your personal tour of India look like?
I can design something to suit most requests.
What is your special interest?
- Do you want to find the perfect place for a special occasion or celebration?
- Are you a twitcher, a craft enthusiast, an archaeology fanatic?
- Do you want to learn to cook Indian food from the experts?
- Are you interested in fair trade, development, farming?
- Do you want to search for wild animals in India’s amazing wildlife parks?
- Would you like to live like royalty in luxurious palaces and havelis or mix with villagers in comfortable home-stays?
How do you like to travel?
Do you prefer just to travel by yourself, with a partner, your whole family or even a wedding group?
My regular tours take a maximum of six people, but for your bespoke tour, we can accommodate more or less people: it’s your choice.
Some ideas to get you thinking:
- Wildlife spotting: take jeep safaris to see if you can spot tigers, lions, elephants, nilgai and many more animals and birds in the wild;
- A wedding to remember on the banks of the most sacred river in India: the Ganges, in the most sacred city, Varanasi. Or anywhere you desire;
- Visit traditional crafts practitioners – India is a land of makers: potters, textile artisans, jewellers, metal workers and many more. What is your special interest?
- Palace hopping across India – from cities to deserts, on the edge of rivers;.
- The important gardens and architecture of India;
- Visit ancient cave art;
- The sun and sand of India – a beach holiday with a difference;
- Dance and songs of India;
- Explore the south: amazing forests, waterways, temples.
For comfort and safety, I visit India in the cooler months from November to February.
I will meet you in India and accompany you every step of your bespoke tour, and if needed, trusted local guides will help you see the best of your destinations.
