Boutique India Holidays, made for you

Ancient, wild and colourful India is a place to behold. Too vast and diverse to encapsulate in words, this country needs to be experienced with the senses. Whether breathing in the spice-filled air of the outdoor markets, tasting the myriad flavours of local cuisines or letting the eyes take in the rich green of those famous tea-leaf filled hillsides, a holiday to India is a truly magnificent experience.

As is our way, we’ve hand-picked (and tested) some of the best off-the-beaten track destinations and experiences including: visiting the traditional villages of Rajasthan or taking a safari by camel or horse (but not elephant); exploring Uttarakhand, one India’s least visited states, with its national parks, yoga experiences and unsurpassed natural beauty; walking tours of colonial buildings by local enthusiasts in Bengal; traditional rice barge trips and homestays in northern Kerala and driving around unspoilt Madhya Pradesh which seems so much like the India of 100 years ago.
